It’s actually a new translation called “The Voice” from Thomas Nelson. They sent me a complimentary copy for review. I admit, seeing one of the contributors (not one of the translators) had me skeptical. But I took it to my son’s swim meet tonight and read through some passages. I am pleasantly surprised! I look forward to a deeper look into this fresh translation. Review forthcoming.

A friend of mine showed me this translation the other day. It’s certainly different–I’m still trying to digest John 1:14!

That is a strange one!
“The Voice that had been an enigma in the heaves chose to become human and live surrounded by His creations. We have seen Him. Undeniable splendor enveloped Him — the on true Son of God — evidenced in the perfect balance of grace and truth.”
Enigma? In heaven? What in the world is that all about?
Thanks for pointing that out.

Kind of leaves you scratching your head, doesn’t it? Must be a Brian Maclaren addition. 🙂
