You were informed that: "34 percent said they are most likely to rely on the NIV according to a poll by Ellison Research. For more information, go to http://www.mcjonline.com/news/00b/20000818e.htm." Lillie: Indeed, you may wish to go to the above website for the complete story. You may find it useful to know who "they" are. In this poll "they" are pastors. OK? Pastors, not laymen, not the reading public in general, but pastors. Would you like to hear *the rest of the story*? Here it is: "The New International Version emerged as the most popular Bible translation in a nationwide poll of Protestant ministers. In a poll of more than 500 pastors of Protestant churches, 34 percent said they are most likely to rely on the NIV in their work. The traditional King James Version was favored by 24 percent of the pastors, followed by the New Revised Standard Version (17 percent), the New King James Version (10 percent) and the New American Standard (9 percent)." [When you add the figures for the KJV (24 percent) and the New KJV (10 percent), you get another 34 percent for the King James/New King James.] (...) "The survey . . . only asked pastors what version of the Bible they use for most of their work. It didn't ask them what is the "official" Bible of their church or denomination, what translations they own or what version they recommend to parishioners. "The type of Bible used varied by denomination. Pastors in mainline denominations favored the New Revised Version. Evangelicals favored the NIV, while Pentecostal and charismatic churches tended to prefer the King James Version. "A pastor's personal political stance also emerged as a factor in choice of a Bible translation. Among self-described political liberals, 71 percent preferred the New Revised Standard Version for their work. The NIV was top choice among political moderates, at 43 percent. Conservatives split equally between the NIV and King James, with 35 percent each." "www.mcjonline.com/news/00b/20000818e.htm" |
