Version Information

The Tree of Life Version (TLV) speaks with a decidedly Jewish-friendly voice—a voice like the Bible authors themselves—to recover the authentic context of the Bible and the Christian faith.

Jesus's death and resurrection were not the beginning of a new religion but the fulfillment of the covenant God made with his chosen and called-out people. Yet other Bible translations lose the connection to the Jewish nature of the Bible. As a result, biblical books that were written to Jews, for Jews, and about Jews lose a critical element: their actual Jewish essence.

The TLV is a new Bible translation, produced by Messianic Jewish and Christian scholars, which highlights the rich Hebrew roots of the Christian faith by restoring:

• the Jewish order of the books of the Old Testament
• the Jewish name of the Messiah, Yeshua
• reverence for the four-letter unspoken name of God
• Hebrew transliterated terms, such as shalom, shofar, and shabbat

Discover the rich meaning of the Bible with this faithful new translation that is accurate, readable, reverential, and true to the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith.
