The Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible is now available without the Deuterocanonical books or with the Deuterocanonical books.

Five years in the making, The Renovaré Spiritual Formation Bible seeks to recover the dynamics of Scripture for the spiritual trans^formation of the people of God: past, present, and future. It provides a view of God’s community through history, the ups-and-downs, ins-and-outs of a with-God life. While other study Bibles serve as resources for sermon exposition, higher criticism, or personal devotion, the Renovaré Bible helps us capture the reality of living with the Trinitarian community in the ever-present kingdom of God. It recasts the Bible as the primary written resource for informing our minds and transforming our spirits in Christlikeness.

As part of making the Bible more accessible for the process of intentional formation in Christlikeness, the Renovaré Bible includes:

  • Major essays and graphic representations highlighting 15 expressions of the With-God Life
  • Essays and notes for each book of the Bible
  • 50+ character sketches giving a sense of the ways key Biblical figures lived with-God
  • An index of places various spiritual disciplines appear in the Scripture

The Renovaré Bible will includes the efforts of:

  • General Editors - Gayle Beebe, Richard J. Foster, Lynda L. Graybeal, Thomas C. Oden, Dallas Willard
  • Old Testament and Deuterocanonical Editor - Walter Brueggemann
  • New Testament Editor - Eugene Peterson
  • Character Sketches - Brenda Quinn
