The Voice - A Bible Project


I'm not sure we need another Bible translation, but this one looks interesting. The Voice is a new Bible translation project that is pretty unique. Here's their description:

-----

A Scripture Project To Rediscover The Story Of The Bible

The Voice Is A New And Dynamic Translation Of The Bible That Brings The Biblical Narrative To Life, Representing A Collaboration Among Scholars, Writers, Musicians, And Other Artists.

Four Key Words Describe The Vision Of This Project:

Holistic // Considers Heart, Soul, And Mind
Beautiful // Achieves Literary And Artistic Excellence
Sensitive // Respects Cultural Shifts And The Need For Accuracy

The Team Writing The Voice Brings Unprecedented Gifts To This Unique Project. An Award-Winning Fiction Writer, An Acclaimed Poet, A Pastor Renowned For Using Art And Narrative In His Preaching And Teaching, Greek And Hebrew Authorities, And Biblical Scholars Are All Coming Together To Capture The Beauty And Diversity Of God’s Word.

You can download the book of John at their website. I'm going to take a look at it this week and I'll comment on it once I read it.

Here's a video explaining The Voice as well.
