And that means that I have it right along side my Kindle Universalis Daily Missal every time I participate in Mass, as well. <br /><br />I picked up the Kindle version as soon as this was published as I have always enjoyed The Message. When this was the bible version I clicked on to utilize during an interfaith bible text analysis, I gained a whole new respect for the scholarly insights that Peterson and Griffin managed to work into the paraphrase!T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04376797599393143947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272296692697032264.post-84111406270499767212014-09-05T03:16:23.576-07:002014-09-05T03:16:23.576-07:00I agree with you both.

It's an easy, breezy read that gets the major points across in a 21st century way. Yes, there are some very questionable renderings in the Message. But as a pure reading Bible I really like it. <br /><br />My approach to it is that I am reading sort of a mini-homily each time I read it rather than a translation. We usually don't bawk at homilies that explain the sunday/daily readings even though the priest is rewording the scriptures in an explanatory way right? That's how I treat the Message and its working well :)<br /><br />But this edition is a BEAST! How about a smaller edition that would be easier to handle than this current dictionary sized one that I'm reading everyday!?!? Lol! <br /><br />Yes, I think a smaller, leather (or less expensive synthetic), sewn Catholic Message could become a great evangelization tool and get many more Catholics reading their Bibles!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312297650941142505noreply@blogger.com
