I love this translation of the bible. the pages in this version are a bit thicker than my last copy and so there is less shadowing of the backside of the page making it easier to read. The slightly larger print also makes it easier to read.

Loved it so much I bought one as a gift for my Mom. I really love the Passion Translation as a secondary version to add to my Bible reading rotation. This version has large enough print I can see it - yay! - and lots of awesome notes, explanations, references which really help. He Bible itself is beautiful. The color, material and embossing is so lovely i enjoy looking at it. Very pleased!

This is a beautiful Bible and I love the translation, but I was buying it for my mother who has cataracts and the print wasn’t large enough so I’m returning for an even larger print same version and hopefully they’ll have a cover as beautiful as this one!

I aboslutley love this version of the Bible. There's so much commentary at the bottom that enhances the reading and also allows enough margin space for annotating. This has helped my understanding of The Word a great deal. Highly recommend to supplment your understanding.

Love TPT Translation! I have gifted these to friends and family, all my grandkids! Love to read it along with NLT or NKJV. The Father loves us passionately!

Love this translation. Love the cover. Rich looking and soft for laying flat while it's open.

This is a great modern version of the New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs and Song of Songs. After buying one for myself, I bought one for a friend. She and I both love using it for Bible study. I plan to buy the Old Testament books they have versions for as well. I include a photo of a portion of 1 Corinthians 13, so you can see how it compares to other versions. Also, at the beginning of each book, there is an at-a-glance section, about section and a couple more pages with info about the book and context. There are notes at the bottom of each page to show similar translations for the words or an explanation of what its context is.

Amazing translation. It’s nice to finally have a Bible, accurately translated, and not written by a legalist. Most modern day translations are hyper abundantly legalistic, reiterate the law rather than the Grace of Abba, and push the narrative of God being an angry, punitive God rather than loving Father. The passion translation seems as if it is “paraphrase” or “words have been added, taken away or changed” because it has to, to be properly translated. Most bibles we read nowadays have TONS of added words to the verses, but we have read them for centuries so to us, it seems right and the passion seems wrong. But Brian has removed verses that have been added over the centuries. And it is so beautiful. This is the true heart of our Abba on a page. And I commend Dr. Simmons for writing this, it is so hard to translate Greek to English anyways and this is the best you’re going to get. Holy Spirit inspired this translation not man, paradigms, religious systems and political parties like most older translations came about, especially KJV. Holy Spirit is our teacher anyways, not the Bible. So it’s nice to have a translator who listens to the whisper of Yahweh. This is super important when reading a translators version of a translation. Which is why I would recommend doing your research and history on the translations we have today; just because they have their name on the Bible honestly doesn’t mean anything.. I don’t recommend any other translation to anyone now other than the Passion Translation.

Highly recommended translation as a supplement to others.

A very good size to take with you when you are traveling, The Passion Translation is a good bible to add to your bible collection if you want to compare scriptures.

The Passion translation is amazing! I am French and I find it super easy to read and understand thanks to all the notes at the bottom of each pages (Cf photos). The wording is accurate and very understandable. This Bible gives a lot of explanation and context that prevent me from misunderstanding many passages on important and burning issues (ex: the role of women in church, etc): the truth will set you free! Also, the cover is very beautiful and the quality is good!

A great translation in everyday language

Die Passion Übersetzung, traut sich texte neu zu übersetzen, und setzt auch nicht selten in einem Brief einen Context ein der dann eh später erläutert wird, das macht die Übersetzung sehr gut lesbar, man ist aber damit nicht allein gelassen, sehr viele Verweise aus dem Aramäischen, griechischen und hebräische Urtexten hellen die Passagen auf und zeigen auch alternative für mich schon überraschend erfrischende Sichtweisen auf. Die 2020er Ausgabe ist im Text an wenigen Passagen wörtlicher übersetzt und öfters dann in den Verweisen auf alternative oder ergänzende Facts hin gewiesen. Das muss aus der Text-Kritik gekommen sein, viele meinen ja die Passion Übersetzung sei keine richtige Bibel. Als Beispiel wie anregend die alternative Übersetzung : In Antioch wurden die Jünger zum ersten mal Christen genannt. Passion übersetzt : In Antioch wurden die Jünger zum ersten Mal die Gesalbten genannt. Was für ein Unterschied!!! Das klassische Übersetzungen legen den Schwerpunkt auf die Benamung Aber nein ! Die Leute erkannten die Nachfolger als Gesalbte des Herren, was für ein Unterschied. Ich lese übrigens auch The Voice oder The Message, aber die Passion Übersetzung hat es mir angetan. Ich weiss nicht ob es an der Übersetzung liegt aber ich habe den Eindruck das eine geistliche Decke die auf mir lag beim lesen dieser Übersetzung zerbricht. So soll es sein! Amen
