Eugene Peterson is probably best known for The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language. The stated goal of The Message was to make the original meaning more understandable and accessible to the modern reader. Peterson explains:

When Paul of Tarsus wrote a letter, the people who received it understood it instantly. When the prophet Isaiah preached a sermon, I can’t imagine that people went to the library to figure it out. That was the basic premise under which I worked. I began with the New Testament in the Greek — a rough and jagged language, not so grammatically clean. I just typed out a page the way I thought it would have sounded to the Galatians.[5]

At the end of their concert, U2 closed with 2 songs lifting up our God. They begin with the powerful song “Yahweh” and end with a song “40” which is their interpretation of Psalm 40. It’s truly awesome to see such a huge band boldly proclaiming Christ to the world.
