First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament (FNV)
Overview
The First Nations Version (FNV) is a retelling of the Creator's Story—the Scriptures—following the tradition of the storytellers of these oral cultures. Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people.
The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the New Testament. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.

(Review is regarding the logos edition, not the text itself which I generally find valuable.) It would be excellent if there was a more sophisticated implementation of the naming conventions used in FNV. I would love if I could just get rid of the proper names, in place of the name meanings, or at least somehow have the names formatted differently from the rest of the text. Having the names be just as dark and the same size as the rest of the text makes it impossible to not get slowed down unnecessarily, when I would prefer to just let the text flow naturally.
