Kent Messages of the Bible

Kent, Charles Foster – The Messages of the Bible (11 vols)

Part paraphrase, part commentary, part survey, and part critical notes, this massive work was likely the inspiration for the modern day “Message Bible” by Eugene H. Peterson. The difference is that this resource is not in “Bible verse format”. This resource is grouped according to natural classification and order of appearance. See the complete list of contents at the end of this description.

In addition to examining the 66 book Protestant cannon, this book also examines the Apocrypha and other ancient writings (i.e. see the review of all Apocalyptic literature in comparison with Revelation).


Covetousness is Idolatry
an article explaining from the Bible viewpoint how covetousness is a religion unto itself, worshiping money instead of the true God of the Bible. This foundational understanding helps believers to identify the false prophet and reject and flee from their deceptive ministries.

Although not a substitute for the Bible (see the Introduction, subsection, “How To Make Use Of A Paraphrase”), this resource offers a scholarly, reverent, appreciative, and enthusiastic reading of the Bible.
