Description:
Step into the
story behind "the story." Discover the reasons behind and the vision
for The Voice translation! In-depth interviews with key participants explain
the translators' motivations and visions for the project. Learn how the
translators worked to bring a balance between scholarship, literary style, and
forward thinking to meet the scripture needs for the church.
The
Voice Bible has become my favorite version to read. I feel like I am reading
the stories for the first time, because they have translated it into a
vocabulary that is still rich and expansive, but also commonly used. So when I
had an opportunity to read this book about the making of the voice, I was
happy.
Unfortunately,
not all books live up to our expectations. This book, at least for me had poor
formatting, short bios on people I wasn’t sure even matter to the project, and
lacked a good storyteller that I was expecting. I had to force myself to keep
reading at times because it was just plain boring.
With
that said, there was some good information in here. They explained why they
translated certain words and phrases the way they did. It made me feel even
better about the translation than I did before.
If you
are interested in The Voice Bible and how it was made, this is a good book.
Just don’t expect a very exciting book. This is more informational then a
story.
I received this book from Thomas Nelson through Book
Sneeze in exchange for my honest review. I was under no obligation to write
a positive review. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.
