I encourage both seasoned and new readers of the Bible to further their study of Scripture with The Voice. It will transform your understanding and perhaps even your life." -Tremper Longman, PhD Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies / Westmont College "Every generation faces the challenge of translating the Bible into the idioms of that generation so that it can communicate with the startling freshness of the original texts. The Voice does just that." -Alan Culpepper, PhD Dean, McAfee School of Theology / Mercer University "Presenting the biblical contents in a lyrical and narrative manner is another way of teaching and preaching the Bible...opening up the opportunity to hear old stories in a fresh way or allowing one to hear them for the first time in an engaging way." -Darrell Bock, PhD Research Professor of NT Studies / Dallas Theological Seminary
