Accomplished writers and biblical scholars have been teamed up to create an English rendering that, while of great artistic value, is carefully aligned with the meaning inherent in the original language. The heart of the project is retelling the story of the Bible in a form as fluid as modern literary works while remaining painstakingly true to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. Instead, The Voice distinguishes the unique perspective of each author. Most English translations attempt to even out the literary styles of the different authors in sentence structure and vocabulary. Uniqueness of The VoiceĪbout 40 different human authors are believed to have been inspired by God to write the Scriptures. The goal is to create the finest Bible products to help believers experience the joy and wonder of God's revelation. The Voice uniquely represents collaboration among scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and other artists. Previously most Bibles and biblical reference works were produced by professional scholars writing in academic settings. We have dedicated ourselves to hearing and proclaiming God's voice through this project. Thomas Nelson Publishers and Ecclesia Bible Society together are developing Scripture products that foster spiritual growth and theological exploration out of a heart for worship and mission. Instead of widening the division between culture and theology, it is time to bring the body of Christ together again around the Bible. At the center of these discussions is the role of Scripture. Throughout the body of Christ, extensive discussions are ongoing about a variety of issues including which style of worship is most appropriate, how we distinguish cultural expressions from genuine expressions of faith, what it means to live the gospel, and how we faithfully communicate the essential truths of historic Christianity. The Voice is created for and by a church in great transition. Any literary project reflects the age in which it is written.
