Puritan Board Freshman
I don't know how much you all know about this little paraphrase, but people are starting to quote it as much as the Bible!
To put the situation in context, I'm in university right now, and I'm searching through the various campus ministries and churches (please pray that I find a home, in a church first!). I've primarily attended the Baptist Campus Ministries (although I am PCA) and am struggling with it now for various reasons, one of them being the liberal use of the Message paraphrase.
Despite the fact that Peterson is a professor of Spiritual Theology at Regent College, I feel like this paraphrase is given way too much respect when compared to the Bible.
It just seems so wimpy every time I read it. Well, I was wondering what your opinions were. I did a search and came up with nothing, so I hope you all will respond.
