Well, the wait is over! Translated directly from the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts into today's contemporary American idiomatic speech, The Message is designed as a reading Bible. With no verse numbers or stiff, formal language, the Scriptures unfold like a gripping novel. Passages we've read many times before come alive, revealing the vibrant energy and passion of God's Word. From the mysterious Old Testament stories to the straightforward teachings of Jesus, to the encouraging early church letters, reading The Message will jump-start hearts, challenge minds, and forever change lives. Although translated by only one man and not by committee, this 'translational-paraphrase' was reviewed by theologians to validate the accuracy of Peterson's translation from the ancient Greek and Hebrew texts of the Bible.
