The Voice New Testament Bible Translation is a fresh way of reading the traditional scriptures. It retains the poetry and narrative format of the scriptures while choosing to remain faithful to the original meanings in Greek and Aramaic. It is a joint effort from Bible scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets and other artists while giving attention the the beauty of the story. It can be read like a modern literary piece yet the authors painstakingly made sure that the truth and the fullness of the scriptures are still intact!
Here are some of its features:
- Italicized information indicate what the original readers would have known
- In text commentary notes include thoughts whether historical, cultural, devotional or theological in nature.
- The format is ideal for public readings or group studies.
- There is a book introduction which aids the reader to understand the book more
So if you want to read the Word of God in modern English, this book would be a good choice for you. It can also be used as a basic study Bible
The New Testament translation is affordably prized at $6.99 only. This is published by Thimas Nelson Inc.
Note: I was given a copy of this book electronically but it has in no way influenced my personal opinions about the book.
