For more than 35 years, beloved author, professor, and pastor Eugene
Peterson has used his expertise in the original language of the Bible
and his passion for God's word to re-create the informal, earthy
immediacy of Scripture in expressive, contemporary English. Just as the
writers of the New Testament used everyday language to convey God's
message to their readers and listeners, Peterson's conversational
translations and graceful insights into Christian life speak powerfully
to the concerns of today's men and women and offer timeless wisdom for
every day of the year.
