Andrew has expressed serious concerns with The Passion Translation:
“The Passion “translation” inserts all kinds of concepts, words and ideas of which the original gives no hint whatsoever.”
“God’s love language is not hidden, or missing; it is in plain sight in the many excellent translations we have available. The Word of God, in any language, is a book of love and literature, heart and head, passion and perceptiveness, foundations and fire. It doesn’t need adding to.”
“I wouldn’t recommend people use TPT, and if they do, I would recommend they recognise that a) it is not actually a translation, and b) they use other versions as their primary texts for study.”
