On this episode of Cosmic Confluence with host Sana, voiceover artist and Bible narrator Dan Parr breaks down why he created the Easy-to-Understand Read (EUR) Bible—a version designed to keep the message intact while removing language barriers that turn new readers away. We discuss translation intent, balancing clarity with reverence, why multiple versions can serve different audiences, and how a simplified text can invite daily engagement with scripture. Direct, accessible, and rooted in Dan’s four-year journey of verse-by-verse work, this conversation explores what it really means to make sacred texts readable without diluting their meaning. About the guest: Dan Parr is a professional voiceover artist and Bible narrator. He created and recorded the Easy-to-Understand Read Bible, available in full and book-by-book editions on Audible and Amazon, including daily and chronological formats. Key takeaways: Accessibility is the goal: simplify wording without altering intent. The EUR Bible preserves meaning by cross-checking established translations. Complexity can inspire some readers; clarity serves others—both have value. Language evolves; a modern register removes friction for first-time readers. Starting small works: try Luke or John before tackling the full Bible. Audio formats (Audible) help busy listeners build a daily scripture habit. Dan views himself as the instrument; the work is about the message, not the messenger. Multiple versions aren’t division by default—they’re on-ramps for different audiences.
