Not since The Message has a translation of the Bible flowed so freely in the English language. Since translators focused on that attribute, I would say they succeeded in reaching their goal. Another thing that the editors got right was the level and tone of extra information. Rather than scholarly footnotes, The Voice New Testament contains breaks in the columns of scripture with clarifying information written in a conversational tone. (The Preface is helpful in understanding the layout and uniq...more
The Voice is a unique version of the New Testament. This Bible’s format is similar to a screenplay‘s. This is to enhance the beauty and story of scripture. It’s a narrative intended to provoke emotion and understanding in the reader that often gets lost in the translation process.

The Voice New Testament Book Review
As soon as I received my copy of The Voice, I was presently surprised. I knew I was going to be reviewing a Bible but I wasn’t deterred. The Voice is not only a new translation and format, but is beautifully written in such a way that is easy to read.
The Voice is very much a devotional Bible. Some translations are not only hard to read but the wording is just down right full of The’s and Thou’s.
Here are a few things I love about The Voice:

I'm not just a book lover, I am also a Bible lover. So I jumped at the opportunity to review Thomas Nelson/BookSneeze.com's New Testament Bible, The Voice. And I am glad that I did. Many people have given this Bible 1-3 stars for various reasons, while a few have given it 4-5 stars. I am in the "few" category and am giving it 4 stars.

Reading The Voice New Testament has been almost like reading the Bible with fresh eyes. In some ways it reminds me of reading a screenplay, since it clarifies who is speaking. The language has a vitality to it that is absent in some of the stricter translations, and truly brings Scripture to life. One of the highlights for me was a feature that is inserted into the text that would explain the significance of the words or events. I found it to be a very valuable asset, and it really helped me to ...more

Everytime I pick up my copy of The Voice New Testament I uncover something new and enlightening. It seems that passages of the Bible that I have read many times over are brought down to me in a conversational tone. Although not my main study Bible, I really love my The Voice New Testament. I highly recommend it for an addition to anyone's Bible library. It is a great place to go for worship within the pages of the New Testament to continue a dialogue with the scripture and get just a little bit ...more
I write the following with a heavy heart and full knowing that I am a sinful man, interpreting and thinking with a mind corrupted by my sin. Although I am eternally forgiven and have been saved by God’s grace, I nonetheless am fallen and know that my thoughts are filtered through a sinful mind. May God have grace upon me and reform my thinking if my sinful mind has corrupted my thoughts and conclusions that I am expressing here.

This book should not have NCV in its title, as it is NOT the New Century Version. It's a new translation, that uses a different methodology from that used by the translators of the NCV. Not the best translation I've seen, but it does have some merits.
