Presenter Update

Eugene H. Peterson's, The Message is now available for Presenter 4. This adds to our growing list of published translations available for purchase.

The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language was created by Eugene H. Peterson. It is a paraphrase of the original languages of the Bible.

Eugene Peterson describes how The Message came about:

"While I was teaching a class on Galatians, I began to realize that the adults in my class weren't feeling the vitality and directness that I sensed as I read and studied the New Testament in its original Greek. Writing straight from the original text, I began to attempt to bring into English the rhythms and idioms of the original language. I knew that the early readers of the New Testament were captured and engaged by these writings and I wanted my congregation to be impacted in the same way. I hoped to bring the New Testament to life for two different types of people: those who hadn't read the Bible because it seemed too distant and irrelevant and those who had read the Bible so much that it had become 'old hat.'".
