Prominent pastors, apologists, and Bible teachers raised fresh concerns about The Passion Translation. Supporters praise the version for its emotional language and modern style, but critics argue that it goes far beyond translation and ventures into interpretation, adding ideas they believe were never present in the original text.
The latest wave of criticism centres on claims that The Passion Translation includes wording and concepts not found in the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts. Critics argue that a translation should seek to communicate the meaning of the biblical text faithfully, while avoiding the insertion of personal theological views.
