The Passion Translation New Testament (2020 Edition) Hardback, Floral: With Psalms, Proverbs and Song of Songs, Contemporary Bible Makes a Great Gift for Confirmation, Holidays, and More Hardcover – 3 Nov. 2020

This version is very understandable and readable. I have found it making me readdress my conventional thinking acquired over the years. It is so difficult to satisfy every reader, especially those with set preferences, but this version certainly would help those who prefer to stick to one version to see a new light. It is very readable and great for adding to understanding where a literal translation is hard to follow. At times this version, as part of its translation/rendering, can give additional words to explain a difficult Greek word. The translating dilemma is often supplemented along with informative footnotes. All translators have to fall for what they see as the "correct" or preferred translation of a word or term, especially in the light of recent research. To use this in a discussion asserting "the Bible says" and quote this lovely version to make a point still has to be returned with the question "and what did the Author say?" For those who can't read the Greek, this is a useful version to include in general Bible study. It provides a most enjoyable and relaxing read.

To all those knocking this version, compare this to the codexes, not other versions. All translations are versions. Just because this does not necessarily conform to what they expect, does not and should not bring scorn or complaint from those who are not really looking for a new translation. After all what is the point of writing, in effect, to complain that is version is different from their favourite version, or versions.AFTER ALL THEY ARE ALL VERSIONS.If you dont like it, no problem, but don't rip it apart on those grounds.Beware the Jewish priests rejected Jesus because they didnt like his version!!!

Brilliant large print and easy to understand.I give it 5 stars because it does exactly what it says on the tin.Real and true.

Loving this easy to read translation of the bible. True to text but touches the heart great
