What Does It Mean to Love Your Enemies? (Pt 7)

July 9, 2015
Over the last month I've posed a vexing question and invited a number of friends to answer it. It is a question prompted by Jesus' teaching on loving your enemies (Matthew 5:43-48) and praying for those who persecute you. Today is the final post. It comes from a friend who lives in Europe, Dr. Creig Marlowe. He teaches at Evangelische Theologische Faculteit in Belgium. He is an Old Testament specialist and helped us in translating and reviewing many of the books in the Old Testament for The Voice Bible.

So here again is our question:

What others are saying

I have been involved in The Voice project for over five years. Many might well ask, "Why do we need yet another Bible translation?" Why? The Bible is an amazingly transparent and yet amazingly puzzling document. Theologians have been translating and interpreting it for millennia, and I daresay they will continue to do so for millennia to come. The Voice represents a new "voice" in the translation and interpretation undertaking, one that genuinely attempts to make the text accessible to the reader of the twenty-first century. Read it for yourself; better, engage it for yourself. Let it draw you in; let it speak to you. And discover in its words "the voice" of the biblical text.
