The Voice New Testament


I didn't really have time to do my usual Sunday Bible Discussion, and it's going to get harder and harder as we get closer to the holidays. Anyway, there's a new translation of the New Testament that I am liking very much.

It's called The Voice New Testament: The Liberating King and His Church, and so far I am enjoying it a great deal.

One might say it is from an Emerging Church perspective, with contributors like Brian McLaren. What they do is they do not 'clean it up," so that it sounds as if one person wrote everything. They carefully maintain the stylistic differences that are apparent in the original Greek manuscripts, to give the reader a real feel for the voice of the authors. Nice job.

I feel it is highly worth checking out :)

I'll post something using that translation later tonight if I can find the time.
