Meet the Author

EUGENE H. PETERSON is a writer, poet, and retired pastor. He has authored more than thirty-four books (not including The Message). He is Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Eugene also founded Christ Our King Presbyterian Church in Bel Air, Maryland, where he ministered for twenty-nine years. After teaching at a seminary, he created The Message, a vibrant Bible paraphrase that connects with today's readers like no other.

It took Peterson ten years to complete. He worked not from any English text but from the original Hebrew and Greek texts to guarantee authenticity. At the same time, his ear was always tuned to the cadence and energy of the English spoken every day on the streets. He lives with his wife, Jan, in Montana.

    Favorite Bible

    I love being able to look up the exact passage. I also like the light weight of this Bible as compared to the original version.

    Written in a way that I can understand and easy to apply to my everyday life. I have ordered these in small paperback editions and given them to my friends. It will change your view of the Bible and teach you more every time you read a part of it. It is my guide to life.

    Awesome Read

    I would recommend this book to anyone. This is, in my best opinion, the best modern day expression of the Holy Scriptures. A good companion to this book would be "The Missing Message" by G Michael Price.

    the Message: A New Translation

    The Message is a new translation of the Bible, a contemporary approach to the traditional classic. It can be jarring at times, as it's choice of wording can shed new light onto familiar passages, and also as it challenges one to search for the true meaning of a particular passage.

    It's not for someone who is timid to try new concepts or for one who is sentimentally attached to the formal, traditional Word of God.

    A boring, droning history which makes all of my high-school social studies classes seem interesting. If only it were true.
