Title: Study Aid
Product review: This is not, nor does Peterson intend it to be, a primary translation of the Bible. It is, however, a great study aid, that should be used in parallel with one or more of the modern, scholarly translations, such as the RSV, NRSV, Jerusalem Bible, etc. It brings a fresh way of reading the Bible and helps open up the meanings. It would also be a good choice as an evangelistic tool for someone who does not, or has not read the Bible, because the core message is there in plain, easy-to-read language. After all, the purpose of evangelism is to open the Word to those who have not heard the Word. Hopefully, a person who has read this paraphrased version might be moved by the Spirit of God to delve deeper.
