Do you ever wish you could better visualize the conversations and stories that take place in the Bible? The Voice Bible<\/a> is a faithful translation that reads like a story with all the truth and wisdom of God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice<\/a> reveals the emotion, humor, and underlying context that is often lost in the translation process. It takes a lot of work and careful study to pull of a project like this. So, a group of more than 120 biblical scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and artists came together to make this Bible possible. Collaboration was key! The result is a fresh retelling of the story of the Bible. It’s easy to understand while also remaining true to God’s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features of The Voice Bible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you curious about the content in this Bible? Take a look inside with us as we walk through the most important features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice is Written Like a Screen Play<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In older literature, it can be difficult to discern who is speaking. Have you ever read a Jane Austen book? That’s a classic example. Austen often assumes you know who is speaking in a conversation, leaving out the “Elizabeth said” portion of narration. The Bible does this too, so if you aren’t paying close attention or understand all the context, you may be left in the dark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice Bible makes it clear who is speaking. Also, reading the Bible like a screenplay is just… fun! It can help you enter into a conversation and more easily see the people of the Bible as real <\/em>people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice Bible Inserts Helpful Commentary in the Bible Text<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These notes contain information on what the original readers would have known intuitively. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revelation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Book of Revelation is a doozy! It can be very difficult to understand the context and references of this intense book. Below is a comment found between the first and second chapters of Revelation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this comment, The Voice Bible sheds some light (see what we did there?) on the meaning of lampstands in John’s vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered why the census happens in Roman Empire at the beginning of Luke? This census wasn’t like ones we have in the United States: counting people with the mission to ensure fair democratic representation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"a<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These commentary notes include cultural, historical, theological, and devotional thoughts. So you’re sure to learn something new while you read The Voice Bible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voice Bible Also Includes Book Introductions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Book<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every book of the Bible is accompanied by a short background article. In it, you’ll find good information to give you context before diving into the Bible text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also a few other extra articles<\/strong> inside this Bible, like how to best use The Voice Bible and the meaning of the different names for Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
