Smaller in Size Than Anticipated 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The Message Bible is really great, however, I was a little disappointed that it was so small. I don't remember when I ordered that it mentioned the size of the Bible and when I received it, I was very surprised with the small size. I could not read the small print without reading glasses (I do not require prescription glasses) and it's still hard to read. I will enjoy the content of The Message, but will have difficulty because it is so small. I caution others who are ordering to make sure that it is not the extra small size that I purchased, unless they are looking for a pocket-size Bible.

The Message Bible 3 out of 5 stars.

The Bible itself is wonderful. The only problem is that the print is REALLY small.

The Message 4 out of 5 stars.

I was dissappointed with the size of the Bibles. Maybe I had missed that in the ad. All else was fine.

this version of The Message is disappointing 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This version of The Message (and it's not about the "message") is that the print is so very small that even young eyes cannot read it. It's small and compact...so if you'd like to use it for travel, that would be good. But, if you're intending to use this in a more public setting and for study the print size is a handicap. Unfortunately, that was my plan and had ordered (and planned to order more) multiple copies which I had to return.

Editorial Review:

Take the life-changing words of The Message wherever you go in this convenient pocket-sized edition.

Small-Print Bible 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I'm very sorry I purchased this "Archaeological Bible". It's very interesting to look at, but impossible to read -- at least, for me. The type is quite small, and my 66-year-old eyes can't handle it. I can understand the reason they did this; with all the sidebars and footnotes, the thing would have been a foot thick in normal-size print. But what's the use in having all this information if you can't read it? I've given up and gone back to my Oxford Annotated Study Bible for my studies.

perfect gift 5 out of 5 stars.

i ordered this bible as a birthday gift for my mother. it arrived promptly, was in even better condition than i had expected, and mom loves it. thank you for great service!

Unsure 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Ok, so I am debating about whether to buy this study Bible or not. Maybe somebody can help me out. My concern is that the field of archaeology develops and changes so quickly that by the time something like this is printed it is already out of date. Could someone help me out here? What are the real advantages?

The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language (New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs)

Editorial Review:

In this contemporary English version of the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, Eugene Peterson strives to convey the earthy truths of the original Greek and Hebrew texts. As he explains in his introduction, there were two levels of language in the Greek-speaking world, "formal" and "informal". The one was for use in official documents, epic poetry, and philosophy, the other for shopping lists and personal letters--the common idiom of everyday speech. "This is the language used throughout the New Testament ... a rough and earthy language that reveals God's presence and action where we least expect it, catching us when we are up to our elbows in the soiled ordinariness of our lives and God is the furthest thing from our minds."
It is in the spirit of this "soiled ordinariness" that Eugene Peterson translates John 1:14 (NIV: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us") to "The word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood." Likewise, in Romans 8:3 where the NIV renders "For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering," The Message reads, "God went for the jugular when he sent his own son.... In his son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all." Peterson offers no pretense of elevated language or intellectualism, only the insistence that God is relevant in 20th-century work-week and weekend lives.
This kind of translation is not a new enterprise, however. Tyndale--the man singularly responsible for our English translations of the Bible--is purported to have said in a dispute with opposing clergy, "If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost." We're simply glad someone of our own generation chose to do the same. --Benjamin Gebhardt

Amazon.com Exclusive: A Letter From Carl Amari, Producer of The Word of Promise

Dear Friends,

I am very excited for you all to experience The Word of Promise New Testament Audio Bible. It has been a true labor of love and Im thrilled that it has finally released.

I would like to take a few minutes to share with you how The Word of Promise came to be. As a young man, I was introduced to and intrigued by recordings of old radio shows. Long before the advent of TV, people were entertained by radio mysteries, comedies and dramas. These stories were presented by actors, complete with sound effects and music enhancing the experience. The imagination, which we have all but forgotten today, was totally engaged.

While in college, I started a company to market these audio gems of the past. In only a few years, Radio Spirits became the largest seller and marketer of classic radio shows in the world.

Then during the filming of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ I visited the set in Rome. Seeing first hand what Mel was creating, and encountering his vision for the film, made a profound and lasting impression on me.

One night, over two years ago, while reading to my children from the Bible, the vision of a dramatized version of the Bible began to take shape in my heart. Why not engage the powerful medium of audio to impact lives with the Word of God as the radio shows from yesterday impacted me as a child? We could reach more people.

Only a few years later and by the profound grace of God, the combined efforts of an incredibly talented group of artisans have brought forth an audio New Testament that I believe will stand the test of time. I've never been more excited or passionate about a project and I want to thank God and everyone who has touched this in their own unique way...especially you. Savor these eternal words "which will not pass away" and may many blessings be yours as a result.

God Bless,

Carl Amari
CEO, Falcon Picture Group
Producer, The Word of Promise

Great for long car rides 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I got this because I don't always have time to read my Bible, but I'm often in my car for extended periods of time. I have found it to be very relaxing to listen to and I love that it is the complete Bible, Old and New Testament, in one binder that is easily stowed under a car seat or in a center console.

Editorial Review:

- Oscar®-nominated, Emmy- and Tony Award-winning actor James Earl Jones lends his celebrated vocal talents to this distinctive reading of the complete, unabridged text of the New Testament.

For such a cheap Bible I was thinking it wouldn't be that nice, but it really is. The leather is so soft and the colors are awesome! Great buy for the buck!

The NIV is not a Bible just for dummies 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The New International Version is the most readable English translation ever produced. And if that doesn't make it a "Good Book," then I don't know what does!

Granted, I still prefer to read God's Word in the original tongues, not in a modern translation. (I've got nothing against the watered-down English versions sold today in Bible bookstores, but the ancient biblical scrolls are just a whole lot funnier.)

Most people these days cannot do that: they cannot read Scripture as it was first intended by the Author. Not to worry: Bible translators have saved you a headache and you can thank God for them. Many of the holy Ghost's original sentences are so ungrammatical and awkwardly constructed, and others so unintelligible, that the translators for Zondervan Corp and these other big Bible companies have graciously re-written the text so as to enhance Scripture's appeal to the 21st-century reader. And in the N.I.V. more than in any other, those scholars have done a truly wonderful job of tidying up.

If you prefer an English Bible that is halfway faithful to the original, then read the Authorised Version, better known in America as "the King James Version." The KJV/Authorised Version also has the most authentic prose style, with thee and thou and hath and dost and verily, which is how God actually talks, albeit in Hebrew. ([...]

But if it's a highly readable New Age paraphrase of the Bible you want, and if you cannot decide between the eighteen leading options in your local bookstore [..], then allow me to recommend Zondervan's "New International Version" (NIV). Here, at last, is an English-language Bible in which all obscenities and difficult words have been euphemised; God's curses, tempered, and His personality, softened; all theological conundrums, solved; all contradictions, removed; and all the howlers, corrected - which is also why the NIV is ideal for the younger generation, grades five and below.

Here's another thing you will love about Zondervan's New International Version: it is reader-friendly. The NIV makes the Lord sound like an affable American football coach, but with His bad words deleted, such as "piss" (Hebrew shathan) which is a word that God, in the Authorised Version, uses quite a bit (but only when He is angry, e.g., 1 Sam. 25:22, 1 Sam. 25:34, 1 Kings 14:10, 16:11, 21:21, 2 Kings 9:8).

And how's this for a major improvement? Almost every place that the word "Hell" appears in the Authorised Version, the NIV substitutes "the grave" or "the realm of the dead." (Where would you rather spend eternity - in "Hell," or in "the realm of the dead"?)

Then, too, in the NIV, every instance of the word, "Ghost" has been eliminated, and not just the holy one. ("Why should we scare people?" That's Zondervan's policy. "We're marketing Christ the King, not Stephen King! And if you can't tell the difference between those two, well then! - Don't blame us, but you can expect a warm welcome, someday, when you die and your aura gets sent forever to the realm of the dead!")
