The Passion Translation (TPT) is a modern English paraphrase of the New Testament, and of an increasing number of books from the Hebrew Bible.
[3] During a 2015 television interview, Brian Simmons asserted that in 2009 Jesus visited his room and commissioned him to write a new translation of the Bible.
Simmons criticized the action in a since-deleted Facebook post, saying "cancel culture is alive in the church world" and asking followers to request the site restore the version.
[6] Broadstreet Publishing, however, said in a statement that it "accepts that Bible Gateway has the right to make decisions as they see fit with the platforms they manage".
[3] Banning Liebscher, founder of Jesus Culture, said: "In a world that is constantly shaking, The Passion Translation is making Scripture accessible to a generation whose lives long to be established on the truth of God's Word.
Young and old are experiencing the inevitable freedom that comes when you encounter the power found in God's Word, and are being ignited with a passion for Jesus that will not be extinguished.
My own personal devotion and study has been deeply impacted by The Passion Translation and I am grateful for what this work is adding to the body of Christ.
