In a world filled with Bibles (the best-selling book in the world), few books dare to ask, “What if Jesus wanted to say something new today?” The New New Testament is not a commentary, not a modern translation, and not an academic revision. It is something far bolder — a rewritten New Testament, as told by Jesus and the Original Authors to a Scribe, in visions for over a year, brought forth in a voice for our time.

This is not a claim made lightly. In the introduction by a Friend of the Scribe, Jim Burch makes clear that this work is not his own creation, but rather a faithful transcription of what was received by “the Scribe,” a simple believer chosen to be the vessel for this reimagined Scripture. Jim Burch is not the Scribe — he refers to himself as the “Friend of the Scribe,” a guide and advocate helping bring this remarkable message into public view.

And what a message it is.

“Could Jesus Do This If He Wanted To?”

That question lies at the heart of The New New Testament. For many readers, the first reaction is disbelief. Can this be real? Can something so monumental — the rewriting of the most sacred Christian text — actually be happening in our lifetime?

If you believe that all things are possible with God (Mark 10:27), then this book invites you to explore that possibility. It doesn’t ask you to blindly accept. Instead, it invites curiosity. Skepticism. And then, discovery. As the Scribe puts it, “There is only one way for you to know: read a few random selections.”

That’s the test. And for those who take it, the result is usually a profound transformation.

What Makes The New New Testament Different?

At first glance, it may resemble a traditional New Testament in structure. But the language, tone, and message go deeper — gentler, more direct, and surprisingly intimate. The voice of Jesus comes through not as a distant historical figure, but as a living, present teacher who sees the modern world clearly and addresses it without pretense. It is striking, and it grabs you.

Gone are the layers of interpretation and centuries of dogma. In their place is a loving clarity that encourages unity, simplicity, and spiritual honesty. This is not a book trying to defend a religion. It is a book for ALL religion(s) — between you and the divine, between humanity and love itself.

Readers have described being moved “intellectually, spiritually, and even physically” by the experience of reading. One chapter at a time, The New New Testament becomes less about belief and more about recognition — as if something within you already knew these truths but had forgotten how to access them. This brings out the universality of God: we are all human; we all value love above all else; we all know that God IS love, and that so are we.

More Than a Book — A Movement of Spirit

This isn’t a New Age novelty or a repackaged devotional. It is a serious, sacred text in its own right — one that speaks to believers, seekers, and skeptics alike. For those who have grown weary of religious institutions but still hunger for a relationship with the divine, The New New Testament offers nourishment. For those steeped in Scripture but open to fresh insight, it offers depth. And for those who never felt at home in the church pews, it offers a doorway into spirituality that is radically welcoming.

One might say that this book was written not to be admired, but to be experienced.

Why This Book, and Why Now?

Jim Burch has written a lot, but he had little to do with this except to assist the Scribe to get it published. When the Scrive died, he felt it was his obligation and honor to follow in his footsteps. He considers the New New Testament a more important book than all the books he has written (indeed, all the books ever written).

It comes at a time when the world is deeply fragmented. Religions often divide more than they unite. Dogma has replaced dialogue. The New New Testament is a return to the root — to a message of oneness, compassion, and true spiritual liberation. It tells us a message not only for all Christians, but for all people everhwhere.

It doesn’t ask you to convert. It doesn’t tell you what to believe. It simply shows you what could be — Because Jesus has spoken again.

A Glimpse Inside

The chapters of The New New Testament are filled with moments of radical clarity. Jesus’ voice is both tender and uncompromising, calling out to a world that has become distracted, divided, and burdened by noise.

You’ll find messages of hope — not the kind that denies pain, but the kind that transcends it. You’ll hear about love — not just romantic or familial, but divine, boundless love that includes all of us, especially the outcast and forgotten. And you’ll hear a call to joy — not as a fleeting emotion, but as a spiritual condition, a birthright. And you will know what it takes to get there: commitment to your highest ideals, which are always God-given.

As readers move through its pages, many report that they don’t just understand Jesus differently — they feel Him differently. Closer. More personal. More alive.
