Simmons argues TPT’s additions and context “expand the essential meaning of the original language by highlighting the essence of God’s original message.” “While no explanation was given, BroadStreet Publishing accepts that Bible Gateway has the right to make decisions as they see fit with the platforms they manage,” BroadStreet said in a statement. TPT’s publisher, BroadStreet Publishing Group, confirmed that Bible Gateway “made the disappointing decision to discontinue their license for The Passion Translation” as of January 2022. His translation has been endorsed by a range of apostolic charismatic Christians, including The Call’s Lou Engle, Bethel’s Bill Johnson, and Hillsong’s Bobbie Houston. Translator Brian Simmons-a former missionary linguist and pastor who now leads Passion and Fire Ministries- sees his work in Bible translation as part of a divine calling on his life to bring a word, the Word, to the nations. The Passion Translation (TPT) is listed as “no longer available” among the site’s 90 English-language Bible offerings.įirst released as a New Testament in 2017, The Passion Translation includes additions that do not appear in the source manuscripts, phrases meant to draw out God’s “tone” and “heart” in each passage. A Bible version designed to “recapture the emotion of God’s Word” was removed from Bible Gateway last week.
