The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language

Book • 2003
The Message is a paraphrase of the Bible created by Eugene H. Peterson to convey the emotional and cultural impact of the original texts to modern readers using conversational American English.

It combines the authority of Scripture with vibrant, dynamic language, reviewed by twenty biblical scholars, and is designed for reading rather than deep doctrinal study.

Published in segments from 1993 to 2002, it emphasizes accessibility and the vibrancy of passages like the Psalms and New Testament.
