1 | TNIV: How Will It Affect Us? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 33329 | ||
The announcment of the forthcoming publication of Today's New International Version (TNIV) is creating quite a controversy among Christians, especially evangelicals. Do you feel that this will have any effect on the Bible buying public in the way they may view new translations in general? Will it lead to a trend away from "dynamic equivalent" and paraphrased versons and toward conservative and literally accurate versions? Will it cast doubt upon the motives and integrity of translation committees and Bible publishers? --Hank | ||||||

Hello Hank, Personally, I think it really won't make that big of a difference. I used to sell bibles. When I told them of the ESV when it came out, many of my customers asked rather sarcastically, "Now What?" It was clear that while many were interested about what the translation was about and what my opinion was of it, a majority didn't care one way or another. They would take a flyer or maybe even buy a copy, but that was about it. I'd say that we wait a few months or even a year after the translation is out, then see what effect it's having. Jesusman |
