While “theologically unorthodox” has a somewhat cloudy meaning, I would agree that it is not the standard for the Word. I have a New Living Bible, an RSV, and an NIV along with a NKJV in larger type because my eyes are getting old. I like TPT because it uses easy to understand language in explaining nuances of the Word. I have found it quite helpful in explaining Proverbs, for instance. If you have a new believer who has never read the Bible, what do you start with first to encourage them to continue?
