My name is on that long list of folks who love to read The Message. What a friend this Bible has become." -Max Lucado, author of Come Thirsty The Translator and His FriendsEugene H. Peterson is a pastor, scholar, writer, and poet. After teaching at a seminary and then giving nearly 30 years to church ministry in the Baltimore area, he created The Message: a vibrant Bible paraphrase that connects with today's readers like no other. It took Peterson a full 10 years to complete. He worked from the original Greek and Hebrew texts to guarantee authenticity. At the same time, his ear was always tuned to the cadence and energy of contemporary English. Peterson's work has been thoroughly reviewed by a team of recognized Old and New Testament scholars, who ensured that it is accurate as well as faithful to the original language.
