I love this version of the Bible. Written for his grandson, Eugene Peterson writes this paraphrase in such an easy to understand manner.Synopsis: Called a "Bible in contemporary language," The Message is a paraphrase that updates the antiquated, archaic language found in most translations, whether the 1611 KJV or the 2010 NIV. This audio version features narration from experienced voice actor Kelly Ryan Dolan, as well as popular contemporary Christian music artists ranging from Steve Green to Janna Long (Avalon) to TobyMac reading selected passages, it's God's Word as you likely have never heard it before!Production Values:
This is the first time I've ever used The Message for my through-the-bible reading. A lot has been said about its weaknesses and what people don't like about The Message. Here are a few things I liked:- I found it helpful for reading the longer historical portions of the Old Testament.- I loved it for reading Job.- I can't tell how many times in the Psalms I thought to myself, "Oh, that's where that song came from!" A lot of songwriters, from U2 to songs on Christian radio, must read the Psalms
Will read in 2013. This is one of my go to versions of the Bible in my bible studies
I really enjoyed this translation of the Bible. I found it very easy to read. It still didnt make some of the more dull books exciting but they were more understandable. It also made some of the more iconic scripture passages less recognizable. I think this would be a good version of the Bible for someone just starting their faith journey.
The Youth at our church challenged everyone to read the entire New Testament by Lent. I am way behind on the "schedule" suggested, but working away nonetheless. I think I read the Gospels through as part of my confirmation back in high school, but otherwise I am really not sure that I have ever read the Bible through as a book (i.e., not just a smattering of verses here and there at a time). Needless to say, it gives you a different picture this way! So far the translation is a little choppy to
Friendly reminder that if you use your religion to be a shitty person towards a person whose beliefs or lifestyle differs from yours, you are Not a good follower of your faith.The New Testament specifically calls out people treating others like shit, but tbh that should go for any religion. Not just Christianity.
