Subject: Do you own a TNIV? |
Bible Note: 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 |
