THE NEW TESTAMENT LIKE YOU'VE NEVER READ IT BEFORE.
It is commonly assumed that a book with a holy God should sound elevated, stately, and ceremonial. If this is how you've always viewed the New Testament, you're about to make a surprising discovery.
One of the most striking features of the New Testament is that it was written in the street language of the day. The idiom of the playground and marketplace--not the formal, lofty language of government decrees and historical documents.
Written in the rhythms and idiom of contemporary language--the way you'd talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics--The Message brings out the expressive, earthy flavor of New Testament Greek.
