Jesus wins.

[Jon R. Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to the NT over the course of the past two weeks as a pre-Advent exercise. I finished a few minutes ago. I think this will become a staple practice of mine.

Some quick observations:

- Reading all four Gospels over the course a few days was a real treat. The Gospel according to St. John is more beautiful to me than ever.
- St. Paul is very concerned about unity amongst Christians, specifically surrounding the question of Gentile inclusion in the Church.
- The catholic epistles (James - Jude) have far more direct application than many of Paul’s (more situational) epistles. I want to spend more time with these letters.
- In light of the rest of the NT, and read in a single day, Revelation reads like an encouragement to those (in any era) facing intense persecution at the hand of a wicked empire. God will set things right.
- Revelation 21-22 are an exclamation mark at the end of the awe-inspiring NT canon.

This is the audio on YouVersion.

My goal is to listen (read) through the New Testament several times this year. The ESV is a widely used translation and I found it easy to read, fairly easy to understand, but not always easy life out in my experience. My hope is that each time I read the words of the New Testament I will go deeper in my knowledge of God and my straighter in my walk with the Messiah.

I think it was December 2016 when I first started to read this, though it may have been in November of that year. Since then, I’ve pursued it on and off, and found it a much easier read that expected.

I love Max McLean's narration of the Holy Bible. I have several audio editions in different versions and they are all exceptional!

This collection only contains the New Testament, with very limited notes at the beginning of each new book of the Bible.

I like this translation of the Bible. It's not as poetic as the King James or as straightforward as the Living Bible. It is helpful to understanding the Word of God.

Reading through this throughout the summer has been a fantastic way to walk with and grow in Christ.

For three years I have read through the whole Bible each year with a different reading plan and a different translation (ESV was year 2). Since I read through my plan this year in 8 months I decided to go through another plan. I chose the Cell Rule of Optina New Testament plan which goes through 1 chapter of the gospel and 2 of the epistles each day (a few days only have 1 epistle chapter as some of the books with odd numbered chapters finish) [http://bible.com/r/2Q]. This left me with 1 month to do an Advent plan. The ESV is my church's choice of favored translation and my personal favorite right now. The YouVersion app has the audio version of this translation which is what I listened to for this plan. The translation is a quality one that is easy to read and the reader is descent.

The voice acting in this version is quite hilarious at times, the music sounds old and dated and some of the sound effects are really bizarre. So I wouldn't give the actual dramatization great ratings. The Bible, of course, is the Word of God and gets all the stars in the universe. The thing I liked about the dramatization, though, was that it was so different that it kept my mind from wandering while listening to it.

November 2016: Love the Bible! I read/listened to 3/4 of it this year and wanted to mark it down so thought this was the best way. Love the ESV and love the New Testament! :)

June 2023: I read the whole New Testament aloud to Rick this year as we read through M’Cheyene’s plan.

This is perfect. Once I got the ESV, I can never go back to the NIV or NASB.

What I like to preach from.

[Mya Goss · Rating 5 out of 5]

This version is so easily understood!
The Bible is the best book ever written, hands down, and if you really want to understand what the Gospel is all about, this is a must-read!

A word-for word translation, ranking right up there with my favorite, the New American Standard.
