The Voice™ Bible translation is a faithful dynamic translation of the Scriptures done as a collage of compelling narratives, poetry, song, truth, and wisdom. The Voice calls the reader to step into the whole story of Scripture and experience the joy and wonder of God's revelation. Created for and by a church in great transition, The Voice uniquely represents collaboration among scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and other artists, giving great attention to the beauty of the narrative. The heart of The Voice is retelling the story of the Bible in a form as fluid as modern literary works yet remaining painstakingly true to the original manuscripts. This translation promotes the public reading of longer sections of Scripture-followed by thoughtful engagement with the biblical narrative in its richness and fullness and dramatic flow.
This is an updated and revised version of the New Testament edition, now at an even more affordable price.
Features include:
- Italicized information added to help contemporary readers understand what the original readers would have known intuitively
- In-text commentary notes include cultural, historical, theological, or devotional thoughts
- Screenplay format, ideal for public readings and group studies
- Book introductions
My Take on the Book
If you are looking for a study bible that really goes much deeper than many on the market today, this is the one that I would recommend. This was a great book that really places emphasis on what the words of the bible mean. I loved some of the commentary notes that are provided for the reader as they truly help you make sense of what you are reading, so much more that you typically would that is. I find in reading the bible without these aids that I get lost in translation much of the time, but through aids like this I can find my way again and come to a better understanding of God's word and I know that you will too!
