The Message is a modern translation of the Holy Bible created by Pastor Eugene Peterson. The purpose of the translation was to capture what Peterson calls the "vitality and directness that I sensed as I read and studied the New Testament in its original Greek." Seeking to translate the Bible in a way that would read to English speakers as it would have read to Greek speakers, he wrote much of it in an informal fashion.[1]
For example, the famous line from Psalm 23 "The Lord is shepherd, there is nothing I shall want" is translated in The Message as "God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing."[2]
