Eugene Peterson

Eugene H. Peterson (1932–2018) was a pastor and teacher who dedicated his life to teaching women and men to live the whole of their lives before God. A Presbyterian pastor for nearly 30 years, he then taught at Regent College in Vancouver. Much of Peterson’s writing explores just how important Scripture is for our everyday spiritual formation. He is best known for his transposition of Scripture into contemporary American English, The Message. He was a remarkable servant of the church.
