''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 trnaslate 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.
