The Passion Translation New Testament (2020 Edition) Berry Blossoms: With Psalms, Proverbs, and Song of Songs (Hardcover) – A Perfect Gift for Confirmation, Holidays, and More

LOVE this version of the Bible!! It's helped me understand better and read more. Not only does it contain the New Testament (plus Psalms, Proverbs &Song of Songs) but on every page there are countless footnotes to better explain the background, translation & what was going on at the time. A MUST for any new or long time Christian & their Bible Study!

I really enjoy The Passion Translation and have purchased many as gifts. The footnotes are very enlightening. Holy Spirit revelations were profound when reading this wonderful version of the New Testament.

I love this translation of the bible. the pages in this version are a bit thicker than my last copy and so there is less shadowing of the backside of the page making it easier to read. The slightly larger print also makes it easier to read.

Amazing translation. It’s nice to finally have a Bible, accurately translated, and not written by a legalist. Most modern day translations are hyper abundantly legalistic, reiterate the law rather than the Grace of Abba, and push the narrative of God being an angry, punitive God rather than loving Father. The passion translation seems as if it is “paraphrase” or “words have been added, taken away or changed” because it has to, to be properly translated. Most bibles we read nowadays have TONS of added words to the verses, but we have read them for centuries so to us, it seems right and the passion seems wrong. But Brian has removed verses that have been added over the centuries. And it is so beautiful. This is the true heart of our Abba on a page. And I commend Dr. Simmons for writing this, it is so hard to translate Greek to English anyways and this is the best you’re going to get. Holy Spirit inspired this translation not man, paradigms, religious systems and political parties like most older translations came about, especially KJV. Holy Spirit is our teacher anyways, not the Bible. So it’s nice to have a translator who listens to the whisper of Yahweh. This is super important when reading a translators version of a translation. Which is why I would recommend doing your research and history on the translations we have today; just because they have their name on the Bible honestly doesn’t mean anything.. I don’t recommend any other translation to anyone now other than the Passion Translation.

This is a great modern version of the New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs and Song of Songs. After buying one for myself, I bought one for a friend. She and I both love using it for Bible study. I plan to buy the Old Testament books they have versions for as well. I include a photo of a portion of 1 Corinthians 13, so you can see how it compares to other versions. Also, at the beginning of each book, there is an at-a-glance section, about section and a couple more pages with info about the book and context. There are notes at the bottom of each page to show similar translations for the words or an explanation of what its context is.

Just got my NT and reading 1 John- it is so Wonderful and the notes explaining. Shows how Much God loves us- just realizing how much after reading this and l am 74. God has to be helping this man explain it to people. God is Not Santa Claus- He loves us but does not condone sin- He shows us our sin and helps us get back on track. Praise Jesus

Love TPT Translation! I have gifted these to friends and family, all my grandkids! Love to read it along with NLT or NKJV. The Father loves us passionately!

This is such a wonderful addition to our study and reading. We read the notes and learn so much. We still use our other complete NKJV, Message, Amplified, KJV, NLT, but TPT has been a treasure find for us. Highly recommend especially for people who may be just starting out on their journey. We have given this to a number of people. The pages are a bit thin and our covers are coming undone a bit. They do not make hardback books like they used to. God bless you all.

A very good size to take with you when you are traveling, The Passion Translation is a good bible to add to your bible collection if you want to compare scriptures.

The Passion translation is amazing! I am French and I find it super easy to read and understand thanks to all the notes at the bottom of each pages (Cf photos). The wording is accurate and very understandable. This Bible gives a lot of explanation and context that prevent me from misunderstanding many passages on important and burning issues (ex: the role of women in church, etc): the truth will set you free! Also, the cover is very beautiful and the quality is good!

This is my 4th version of the Bible and its refreshing to have a choice of text. This version reads easily and the translation is often more easily understood than older translations. There certainly is a 'Passion about it.

Great translation

Die Passion Übersetzung, traut sich texte neu zu übersetzen, und setzt auch nicht selten in einem Brief einen Context ein der dann eh später erläutert wird, das macht die Übersetzung sehr gut lesbar, man ist aber damit nicht allein gelassen, sehr viele Verweise aus dem Aramäischen, griechischen und hebräische Urtexten hellen die Passagen auf und zeigen auch alternative für mich schon überraschend erfrischende Sichtweisen auf. Die 2020er Ausgabe ist im Text an wenigen Passagen wörtlicher übersetzt und öfters dann in den Verweisen auf alternative oder ergänzende Facts hin gewiesen. Das muss aus der Text-Kritik gekommen sein, viele meinen ja die Passion Übersetzung sei keine richtige Bibel. Als Beispiel wie anregend die alternative Übersetzung : In Antioch wurden die Jünger zum ersten mal Christen genannt. Passion übersetzt : In Antioch wurden die Jünger zum ersten Mal die Gesalbten genannt. Was für ein Unterschied!!! Das klassische Übersetzungen legen den Schwerpunkt auf die Benamung Aber nein ! Die Leute erkannten die Nachfolger als Gesalbte des Herren, was für ein Unterschied. Ich lese übrigens auch The Voice oder The Message, aber die Passion Übersetzung hat es mir angetan. Ich weiss nicht ob es an der Übersetzung liegt aber ich habe den Eindruck das eine geistliche Decke die auf mir lag beim lesen dieser Übersetzung zerbricht. So soll es sein! Amen
