The best answer to that question comes from Eugene Peterson himself: ""While I was teaching a class on Galatians, I began to realize that the adults in my class weren't feeling the vitality and directness that I sensed as I read and studied the New Testament in its original Greek. Writing straight from the original text, I began to attempt to bring into English the rhythms and idioms of the original language. I knew that the early readers of the New Testament were captured and engaged by these writings and I wanted my congregation to be impacted in the same way. Peterson's parishioners simply weren't connecting with the real meaning of the words and the relevance of the New Testament for their own lives. Language changes. That's why NavPress felt the time was right for a new version. Some people like to read the Bible in Elizabethan English. Copyright Information

Online Bible Study Tools - Search Gateway to Resources - Pale Mo The Old Time Gospel Ministry The Seven Feasts Back to Helps Index Seven Holy Feasts of the Jews 1. THE FEAST OF PASSOVER (Leviticus 23:5) Passover was established during the tenth plague, in which Pharoah was finally persuaded to let the Jewish people leave Egypt. God's avenging angel killed the firstborn in each Egyptian household, but he passed over the homes of the Jews. This principle is also dramatically true in Christianity. It is remarkable that the Jewish nation missed this fulfillment of their feast. This must have held quite a bit of meaning for the Jews present with John as he baptized. Significantly, the Lord was crucified exactly on Passover day, 14 Nisan. Those Jews, the Lord's own disciples, surely understood the imagery there, but most Jews today continue to celebrate Passover in remembrance of the Exodus from Egypt. Passover, then, is the first of the feasts, the first one given and the first one fulfilled. 2. The seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the day following Passover. 3. Seven Feasts continued
The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Home This survey covers a small part of the huge body of New Testament studies --- how the Church selected certain writings as authoritative and separated them from a larger body of early Christian literature. In view of the central importance that the New Testament has within Christianity, it is amazing that there is an absence of detailed accounts of such a significant process. My goal is to collect and organize the information that is available, and make it easily accessible in the form of hypertext (see the Hypertext Conventions). I especially hope this site will be useful to persons who cherish the New Testament, but are unfamiliar with the history of its development. For this development 'at a glance', see the Cross Reference Table: Writings and Authorities. The history, as covered in this survey, spans the first four centuries of Christianity, and was a long continuous process. This subject is an avocation of mine.
