The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language

The Message provides a refreshingly unique Bible-reading experience. Translated directly from the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts into contemporary speech, The Message is designed to open up new understanding and insight as you read God's Word. Passages you've read many times before come alive, revealing the vibrant energy and passion of God's Word.

'The Message' is a paraphrase from the original Hebrew and Greek languages written in clear, direct language that brings the Bible to life. Designed to be a reading Bible rather than a study Bible, it was authored by Eugene Peterson and reviewed by a team of distinguished professors from various seminaries and colleges to ensure that it accurately communicates the original Hebrew and Greek.
