About: For more than two years, Eugene Peterson devoted all his efforts to The Message
New Testament. His primary goal was to capture the tone of the text and the
original conversational feel of the Greek, in contemporary English.
Table of Contents:
The Message is designed to be read by contemporary people in the same way as the original koine Greek and Hebrew manuscripts were savored by people thousands of years ago.
He decided to strive for the spirit of the original manuscripts to express the rhythm of the voices, the flavor of the idiomatic expressions, the subtle connotations of meaning that are often lost in English translations.
The second group were those who had read the Bible all their lives but now found it "old hat," so familiar that they were no longer startled by the truth of its message.
The goal of The Message is to engage people in the reading process and help them understand what they read.
This is not a study Bible, but rather "a reading Bible." The verse numbers, which are not in the original documents, have been left out to facilitate easy and enjoyable reading.
His primary goal was to capture the tone of the text and the original conversational feel of the Greek, in contemporary English.
Others want to read a version that gives a close word-for-word correspondence between the original languages and English.
The Message strives to help readers hear the living Word of God the Bible in a way that engages and intrigues us right where we are.
Some people like to read the Bible in Elizabethan English.
Eugene Peterson recognized that the original sentence structure is very different from that of contemporary English.
The first group were those who hadn't read the Bible because it seemed too distant, irrelevant, and antiquated.
The original books of the Bible were not written in formal language.
For more than two years, Eugene Peterson devoted all his efforts to The Message New Testament.
He hoped to bring the New Testament to life for two different types of people.
Pleased to be reading
May I please present some accurate information? Earlier reviews have stated that there are no chapter and verse divisions of this Bible. That simply is not accurate anymore .!! Just opening a book, you will see it divided into one chapter per page on your phones app. Each chapter is broken into specific verses. Tapping the bottom of each chapter page allows you options to go forward or backwards in that book. Plus, it tells you the chapter you are using.

This is truly NOT A BIBLE. It is more like a story that is trying to be passed off as a “Bible” it is sad that new Christians are not being told or taught the truth that can be found in the KJV and if you have a hard time understanding at first pray for God to open your eyes and heart to learning the truth. The Life Application KJV study Bible has helped me so much. And prayer has opened my eyes and heart to KJV Bible. May God open your mind to his word not someone’s stories...GOD BLESS

This poor application really needs help. I’ll just mention one thing that is telling. In the table of contents you can’t go to specific chapters. For example if I want to read Proverbs 23 it opens on Proverbs 1 With no title on any of the pages I have to scroll I just guess where I am. Unacceptable.

At last a Bible where I can really understand books like Roman’s and some of Corinthians where Paul gets too deep for me.

It is not easy to locate a passage if you don’t know the spelling of the book you’re looking for

I thought for example if you read a certain chapter/verse in Proverbs and go to TheMessageBibleMSG and type in search bar it will pull up what you’re searching. TheMessageBibleMSG isn’t for me! Deleting and sticking with my Bible app...
where is the chapter #
Is the number of the chapter located at the top of the page? No.

And that’s about it. Can’t easily scroll or jump to a particular spot.

The chapters are not numbered and you cannot select one specific verse, you have to keep swiping until you get to your chapter. Not convenient.

I love the Message Bible. TheMessageBibleMSG does not sync with your phone, therefore you lose your place about every 3 days. I was disappointed.

Chapters are not numbered so you have no way of knowing what chapter you are reading.
