Philip’s New Testament in Modern English was made by an Anglican clergyman for his youth group, making the Bible sound relevant and in the language of the day.
This version of the Bible was made under the authority of the Anglican Church of England (Anglican clergyman J.B. Philips) 1958 for Anglican youth in English they could understand.
It is described as “up-to-date and forceful, involving the reader in the dramatic events and powerful teaching of the New Testament. It brings home the message of Good News as it was first heard two thousand years ago.” Wikipedia.org
Church Planting Articles: Handling Gossip is a short article on considerations of Pastors being married and having children. These are requirements that God places on pastors. For those who do not think they need to be married, yet qualify for being pastors, the Bible sternly states otherwise.
See my Tract: pc29 Don-t be a Gossip.

The New Testament in Modern English was originally written for the benefit of Phillips’ youth group; it was later published more widely in response to popular demand. The language is up-to-date and forceful, involving the reader in the dramatic events and powerful teaching of the New Testament.
