Publishers Weekly starred review. Academy of Parish Clergy
Reference Book of the Year IVP Readers' Choice Award A New
Testament in English by Native North Americans for Native North
Americans and All English-Speaking Peoples Many First Nations
tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought
patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version
(FNV) recounts the Creator's Story-the Christian
Scriptures-following the tradition of Native storytellers' oral
cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty
and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First
Nations people. The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation of the
New Testament that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of
Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the
original language of the Bible. The culmination of a rigorous
five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a
collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe
Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five
different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of
twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men
and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations.
Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures
in a fresh and new way. Read these sample passages to get a taste
of what you'll find inside: "The Great Spirit loves this world of
human beings so deeply he gave us his Son-the only Son who fully
represents him. All who trust in him and his way will not come to a
bad end, but will have the life of the world to come that never
fades-full of beauty and harmony. Creator did not send his Son to
decide against the people of this world, but to set them free from
the worthless ways of the world." John 3:16-17 "Love is patient and
kind. Love is never jealous. It does not brag or boast. It is not
puffed up or big-headed. Love does not act in shameful ways, nor
does it care only about itself. It is not hot-headed, nor does it
keep track of wrongs done to it. Love is not happy with lies and
injustice, but truth makes its heart glad. Love keeps walking even
when carrying a heavy load. Love keeps trusting, never loses hope,
and stands firm in hard times. The road of love has no end." 1
Corinthians 13:4-8
