The Story of ‘The Voice’ is the background
how a group of people strived for a new translation of the Bible, the results
was ‘The Voice’. Historically, the bible
has been translated into many different versions for many different purposes. The goal for ‘The Voice’ was the ability to
reach out to the younger generation. The
group’s goal is to re-engage younger people in the teaching, meaning and understanding
the Bible.
The book goes through some of the key
people who contributed to the book.
Background is also given how the title was decided, philosophy behind
the new translation, contextual equivalence in practice and other background
information showing the complexity behind doing a new version of the Bible.
Not being familiar with ‘The Voice’ I
visited the website. The website offers
a free download of the New Testament. You
can review just how different this translation is from the NIV and NLT versions. I can see were ‘The Voice’ would be very attractive
to a younger generation of readers. If
the current Bible in your church has not captured the younger generation in
your church I would suggest trying ‘The Voice’, it delivers the same Biblical
messages but simply in a different manner.
I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze in exchange
for my honest review of the book.
