Looking for a new way to read the Bible?
The Voice presents the Bible text as a film script, highlighting the voices in God's word
You'll hear more of the words that speak in the Bible
Aaron Lewendon
Eden Bibles & Bible Study Specialist
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.

THE TRANSLATION: The Voice is a dynamic equivalent translation that reads like a story with all of the truth and wisdom of God's Word. Through compelling narratives, poetry, and teaching it invites readers to enter into the whole story of God with their heart, soul, and mind. This bold new translation engages readers like no other Bible.
THE PURPOSE: The Voice invites a generation of story-lovers to step into the Bible through a fresh expression of its timeless narrative. It recaptures the passion, grit, humor, and beauty that is often lost in the translation process. Readers will enter into the story of Scripture more deeply, and discover that they can actually hear God's voice speaking into their life today.
THE AUDIENCE: The Voice is for everyone seeking to connect or reconnect with God through His story. It is for those who have never read the Bible and are curious, just as it is for new Christians who are ready to dive in eagerly. The Voice speaks to the person who has some experience with church but is seeking a new way to connect with God, as well as for active Christians who have been in the church all of their lives and are looking to get lost in the beauty of the story.
THE DIFFERENCE: While care has been taken to accurately translate the individual words from the original texts, careful attention to how the idioms of the original languages are understood in English has also been taken. But it doesn't stop there; The Voice considers the narrative links that help us to understand the drama and passion of story that is present in the original languages. The tone of the writing, the format of the page, and the directness of the dialog allows the tradition of passing down the biblical narrative to come through in The Voice.
The Voice™ is a faithful dynamic equivalent translation that reads like a story with all the truth and wisdom of God's Word. Through compelling narratives, poetry, and teaching, The Voice invites readers to enter into the whole story of God, enabling them to hear God speaking and to experience His presence in their lives. Through a collaboration of nearly 120 biblical scholars, pastors, writers, musicians, poets, and artists, The Voice recaptures the passion, grit, humour, and beauty that is often lost in the translation process. The result is a retelling of the story of the Bible in a form as fluid as modern literary works yet painstakingly true to the original manuscripts.
