The Voice New Testament Bible - Book Reiview

Book Review The Voice New Testament Bible I have reviewed the The Voice New Testament Bible by looking through the book as one would when looking to by a Bible. I read through various parts of the book and was impressed with the layout. First off I would not place this in a category with most Bibles. This is the Bible in an artistic interpretation. I would recommend this more as an outreach tool, for students and those looking to make the Bible come alive on stage. The format is different from the typical Bible that you may be used to using. It uses a dialog format familiar with screen plays. In the areas of the Bible where individuals are talking they lay out the dialog by character. They keep with a more NIV or NLT translation verses a Paraphrase such as the Message. I felt that this would be great to just sit down and read, but would not use it as a means for serious study. I would defiantly recommended this for children, students, actors, or anyone that just wants to sit and read the Bible in a fresh new way. Features include: --Italicized information added to help contemporary readers understand what the original readers would have known intuitively --In-text commentary notes include cultural, historical, theological, or devotional thoughts --Screenplay format, ideal for public readings and group studies --Book introductions Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program.
