Read about this new Bible translation called ‘The Voice’ focuses on dialogue

Nashville, Tennessee (ENInews)–The name Jesus Christ doesn’t appear in “The Voice,” a new translation of the Bible. Nor do words such as angel or apostle.

Capes says that many people, even those who’ve gone to church for years, don’t realize that the word “Christ” is a title. [ENI-12-0223, 413 words]
