The Message New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs (small)

This New Testament is different from any other New Testament on the market. Written in the rhythms of today’s language, The Message New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs brings out the Scripture’s expressive flavor that will bring a unique freshness whether you are reading it for the first time or have been studying it for years.

Eugene Peterson's The Message® is a fresh, compelling, insightful, challenging, faith-filled translation of the Bible into contemporary idiomatic American English and is first and foremost a reader's Bible. Eugene Peterson has made the Scriptures come alive again by translating them in a way that people can understand what God is trying to say to us today.

This Bible is meant to be read. The Message® is not meant to be a substitute for your other bible translations. It is meant to sit next to them where you can pick it up and simply start reading. We hope it will send you back to your other translations with new insight and curiosity.

"The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition by Eugene Peterson can awaken us anew to the power and beauty of the Scriptures. It is a translation of the complete Bible, including the Deuterocanonical books, into contemporary language that feels as if it were written especially for and to us today. I have found The Message to be a valuable resource for my personal reading and prayer and for discussion with both my Catholic and my Protestant brethren."
