1 | Do you own a TNIV? | 2 Sam 21:19 | BradK | 68731 | ||
Greetings, Some well spoken comments have already been offered on this issue.I am more a proponent of the "word for word" literal translation of the NASB than the "thought for thought" of the NIV. Personally, I feel the NIV is a little "loose" in many aspects of its' translation and I do not favor it. As to the TNIV, I have perused it and am familiar with the debate regarding its' shortcomings on Gender-neutrality as Hank eluded. I would agree that some of the aspects of its' translation go beyond being acceptable!The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood have come out in strong opposition. I spoke to Dr. John Sproule Thd. this past summer at a conference regarding the TNIV. He is a former professor of NT Greek at Grace Theological Seminary and a translator on the NKJV. He also strongly opposes it because of the Gender-neutrality issue. Whatever the "real" reasoning behind Zondervan choosing to publish this translation, I would not endorse it as an acceptable or worthy addition to one's library. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

An coming soon to a translation near you "God the Parent, The New Neuter Translation" (NNT): Joh 14:6 "Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Parent, except through Me." Far-fetched? Colin | ||||||

Colin, I await the "New Neuter Translation" with all the enthusiasm with which I welcome the first signs of influenza! I'll be sure to rush and not buy a copy :-) It makes one all the more appreciative of the work of the sponsor of this forum, the Lockman Foundation, in giving us the NASB, a literal translation instead of a watered-down adulteration of God's word. --Hank | ||||||
