Synopses & Reviews
When author and pastor Eugene H. Peterson created The Message, he took the colloquial quality of the ancient Hebrew and Greek original text and put it into the American English language that people use in their workplaces and around the house. What makes The Message a unique translation of choice is it is written in verse-numbered paragraphs in a single-column format, making it like a novel. Passages that seem familiar will come alive with The Message.
The Message Study Bible combines this best-selling contemporary translation with personal insights from Peterson’s lifetime of studying the Word. With 640 study notes from his writings and sermons, contemplative readings and prayers, and a unique “Reading the Scriptures” essay, this study Bible gives readers a new appreciation for God’s Word.
