1 | MESSAGE-A Good Effort, But Not a Bible | Eccl 12:12 | kalos | 145700 | ||
MESSAGE-A Good Effort, But Not a Bible [The following is an excerpt from a customer review of THE MESSAGE by Eugene Peterson. Although not written by me, it perfectly expresses my opinion of THE MESSAGE. --Kalos] 'A Good Effort, For Whatever It Is: But A Bible, It Isn't' 'In my opinion "The Messsage" is not a bible at all, but more of a running commentary of the bible.' When you've read THE MESSAGE 'do not be persuaded you have read THE Bible; you haven't, any more than seeing "West Side Story" enables you to say you have seen "Romeo and Juliet." I'd much prefer the reader try a real Bible first in order to claim s/he's read "The Bible,"' ____________________ www.amazon.com |

Greetings my brother; I would almost have to agree with you here,I think it's a great read,but I would not have to rely on it as a study tool.I've found that with a number of the paraphrases thing get to general and to that just leaves thing to open to private interpretation. Excellent post. lionheart. |
