1 | Good-bye, NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | wak | 32977 | ||
But that's exactly the most promising aspect of the TNIV decision... What is in the Bible Society's heart??? It's not money as Joe and kalos stated, it certainly is not a popular decision, they can't be pandering to the liberals and the feminist niche... the downside is way too steep...they lose the center,the base. They have to be alienating virtually all of the academically minded. What are they THINKING??? Perhaps, the Society members are simply making an unpopular decision based on the courage of their convictions after much prayer. It doesn't strike me as a worldly decision. . |

Wak, the publishers of TNIV have sunk a couple of million dollars into this project. It strikes me as enormously odd that they knowingly made an "unpopular" decision. This is a commercial publisher, a profit-making enterprise, which answers to stockholders. Those stockholders are in it to make money, not necessarily because of their religious convictions. It's naive to assume that a commerical publishing firm is motivated by much of anything except the bottom line. And bottom line is spelled d-o-l-l-a-r-s. --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Hank; Most publishers make a profit; that's how they stay in business. For example, this is from our host's Foundation Publications home page: "NEW PUBLISHING PARTNERSHIP MEANS MORE EDITIONS AND MORE ADVERTISING THAN EVER BEFORE. In order to boost consumer preference for the Updated NASB, the Lockman Foundation has announced a three–way publishing partnership between Foundation Publications, World Bible Publishers, and Zondervan Publishing. Already the list of available text, reference, study and specialty editions has tripled." Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

The sponsor of this website and translator-publisher of the NASB, the Lockman Foundation of La Habra, California, is a not-for-profit organization. --Hank | ||||||
