Eugene H. Peterson

Het Nieuwe Testament in de vertaling van The Message. Een scherpgeprijsde pocketuitvoering. 'Mij zien is de Vader zien,' zegt Jezus tegen de mensen die hem volgen. Het Nieuwe Testament is het gedeelte van de Bijbel waarin je Jezus Christus, ook wel Jezus van Nazareth genoemd, leert kennen. De eerste vier boeken van dat Nieuwe Testament zijn eigenlijk vier ooggetuigenverslagen over zijn leven. De 23 boeken erna laten zien hoe het vervolgens verder ging met de boodschap van Jezus en met de mensen die zijn woorden geloofden en hun leven in navolging van hem aan God toevertrouwden. Eugene Peterson vertaalde in The Message de bijbelboeken van klassiek Grieks naar woorden en beelden in de taal van onze tijd. Hij deed dat op zo'n unieke manier dat miljoenen mensen wereldwijd de Bijbel voor het eerst zijn gaan lezen. Ervaren bijbellezers biedt zijn vertaling een nieuwe invalshoek, waardoor de boodschap die voor hen vaak overbekend is, opnieuw het hart weet te raken. Lees en ontdek zelf wie Jezus Christus is, en wie de Vader is waarover hij spreekt.

Misschien heb je alles bereikt wat je wilt. Je bent gelukkig met de mensen om je heen, hebt een goede opleiding gevolgd en hebt succes in je werk... Toch heb je het gevoel dat er iets ontbreekt, dat er méér in het leven moet zijn. Wat jouw situatie ook is, hier is het goede nieuws! Er is iets wat jou totale voldoening kan bieden, iets wat je leven zin en betekenis geeft. Maar dat 'iets' kun je niet bereiken door eigen inspanningen, je kunt het ontvangen als een geschenk. Van God. Hij biedt eeuwige hoop - een toekomstperspectief dat bevrijdend en onverwoestbaar is. Dit boek bevat woorden uit de Bijbel. Daarbij is gebruikgemaakt van het werk van Eugene Peterson, de schrijver van The Message, een eigentijdse weergave van de bijbeltekst. Ontdek wat God je te bieden heeft. Vind inspiratie en kracht in The Message of Hope!

God schiep hemel en aarde door te spreken. Jezus sprak en mensen genazen en stonden op uit de dood. De Bijbel vertelt ons dat het woord van God levend is en krachtig, maar zo'n tekst kan gemakkelijk verworden tot een goedkope slogan: iets wat goed klinkt, wat we eigenlijk ook wel geloven, maar waarvan we de kracht allang niet meer in ons leven ervaren. En juist daarom is het zo ongelooflijk belangrijk dat we de Bijbel blijven bestuderen en blijven luisteren naar wat God ons erin te zeggen heeft. In deze schrijfbijbel vind je de Jakobusbrief in de vertaling van The Message, mét kanttekeningen vanuit de grondtekst. Op elke linkerpagina de bijbeltekst, op elke rechterpagina ruimte voor jou, zodat jij - op een manier die bij jou past - kunt verwerken wat God vanuit deze brief tot jou te zeggen heeft. Dit boekje is een uitstekend hulpmiddel voor persoonlijke bijbelstudie, voor gebruik in kleine groepen of als aantekeningenboek tijdens een prekenserie van je predikant of voorganger. Het voorwoord is van Jan Pool; de kanttekeningen zijn van dr. Raymond R. Hausoul.

Of all the characters in the Bible, it is David who is most human. His life is lived on the "rough-edged actuality" of real life, and his relationship with God is an energetic one. Through the passions, the trials, and the lyrical poetry of this beloved figure, we gain powerful insights into the role of God in our own lives. In this inspirational volume, Professor Eugene H. Peterson, translator of "The Message," uses stories from David's epic life as vivid lessons in everyday faith and spirituality.
