Subject: Do you own a TNIV? |
Bible Note: EdB(:-) Warm regards to you. In The October 7, 2002 issue of CHRISTIANITY TODAY in an article titled " The TNIV Debate" is worth reading. Vern S. Poythress professor of New Testament interpretation at Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia, and Mark Strauss Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary, San Diego, explain their views on "Is this new translation faithful in its translation of gender?" I have read the article at least three times, and other material as well. I personally have the ultimate respect and trust in the NIV. I have made many contacts in Zondervan, and do not share your understanding of Zondervan, but I respect you for your honest expression concerns for the intregrity of Zondervan. May I suggest that you call Zondervan at 800-727-1309 and speak to customer service and express your concerns. Ask to speak with someone in the translator teams. They will be more than willing to listen, and explain the why and wherefor's of anything you may question. I think you will hasve a change of heart after you have done this. I might also suggest that you get a copy of the CHRISYIANITY TODAY for October. I believe Zondervan is one of a few that still guarantees leather Bibles unconditionally against manufacturing defects for a Lifetime. I recently had a first copydition of the NIV Study Bible from 1983 that the leafs were spliting. They replaced it and told me to keep the old one. That is genuine great service. I doubt I will get the TNIV as I am used to using the NASB with the NIV, and old habits are hard to brake. Besides I am to involved with my notes to start all over again. justme |
