1 | Do you own a TNIV? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 68637 | ||
Only answer this if you have a TNIV, please! Is the TNIV a worthwhile translation? Zondervan says it is not showing gender favoritism, in any way. Do you agree? I have asked this four times now and I have heard from several about the NIV. Please answer only if you have a TNIV, and can speak from owing one, thank you. justme |

I don't have one, it is not one that I would read. I just need to read the verses where I have a problem. You have read what others have said, outside the forum ... some cite verses. The TNIV is a gender-neutral Bible translation ... "is not showing gender favoritism" which is a problem. There is a differece between girls and boys (I hope you are aware) ... our society wants to eliminate (reduce) it and so does the TNIV. |

Searcher56: I read a note some time ago. The note read; "Lord help my words to be sweet and tender; for tommrow I may have to eat them," I wanted FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE TO TELL ME about the TNIV. I am from the "SHOW ME" state, Missouri. I am stubborn like a "Missouri mule". I do not rely on second or third hand information! I may just have to buy one to actually know for sure. Your remark, about boys and girls and hoping I was aware of the difference. Belittling me, does not become you. You are above this. I consider you to be mature Christian. If I have shown some area that needs improvement or more wisdom, I would be pleased to be made aware of such. I am continuing to mature in my Christian growth, but have a long way to go. I hope to hear again from you, after you have had time pray about this. justme |

I doubt anyone at this forum has a TNIV ... so give it up. I apologize if you were belittled ... I was trying to make a point ... the TNIV does not tell the difference between boys and girls. | ||||||

Hi justme, In my honest opinion, the TNIV is lacking! I would say I'm underwhelmed by it and that it IS problematic from the Gender-Neutrality standpoint alone. I don't think it improves anything in respect to current translations and certainly lowers the standard in comparison to the KJV, NASB, etc. At best I would give it a C minus ( and I'm being generous):-) The cost is 12.99 paperback, and 16.99 hardcover. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

BdK: Blessings upon you dear friend! I am so glad that I have had some one who has actually had one to read first hand! Di you like to NIV? I for the life of me can not understand why so many "new translations are flooding the market. Nor can I understand why Zondervan would publish such a weak revision. Zondervan told me it has seen slow sales. I think they will see why soon. Here in the Mid-West, or as I think is just as right, the Mid-East the KJV reighns. Most Christian book stores have a wide range of KJV and a fair amount of NIV but NASB is lucky to have ten percent of the shelf space. I am sad at your news, but thank you for you evaluation. Blessings and Peace to you:-) justme |
