The Message Bible - Ep. 85

from The Book Podcast · host Scott Moffat - Gabe Penfield

This is a bit different for us here at The Book podcast. We review the message student devotional Bible which was written by Eugene Peterson back in the 70s. It has been updated for students as we see in the title it calls itself a devotional. We review the book to see how it fares as a Bible to be used by teens. It is not a word for word translation but a dynamic equivalent. In other words, it is a paraphrasing commentary on the Bible. Gabriel and I discuss this usage and adaptability in order to reach those who might not be familiar with the text. Maybe because of our age difference we come to different conclusions that we will leave for you to see in the recording.We, Scott and Gabe, need to know if you guys like the content.
