The voice is the response by a team of translators and Christian creatives to the need for a Bible that speaks the Word of God in today’s words, phrases and language – a Bible that carries it’s meaning with power, even to people who’ve never picked up a Bible before. Christian poets, songwriters and authors have lined up beside real-world pastors and counsellors to make a Bible that’s both accurate in meaning and relevant in context to a wide range of new and experienced Bible readers.

The Voice gives you a full text Bible in a new translation and new a new presentation that reads like a screenplay. This makes the text practical for reading in a group or presenting in public with more than one speaker – adding interest and engagement for those taking part and for those in the audience. With many features usually found only study Bibles, the handsome volume with its distinctive jacket includes hundreds of notes, a topical index, book introductions, other helps and four different programmes to suit your reading style and available time.

Speaker identification within the text lets you know which biblical character is saying what, adding clarity to yours and your audience’s understanding. Presenting the entire Bible as the story of scripture, the team of translators, creatives and communicators invite you to step – body, mind and soul – into the whole story. Promising that the The Voice is, “A trustworthy Bible translation that reads like a novel,” it captures afresh the passion, grit humour and beauty of the original tellings, often overlooked in the more academically prepared and presented English versions of modern times.
