Subject: Good-bye, NIV |
Bible Note: Friends of the Forum: Out of protest and sheer frustration, I have decided to dispose, quietly but promptly, of the five editions of the New International Version that I own. The trend that Zondervan and its parent company, HarperCollins, seem to be taking is one that grieves my spirit and I cannot endorse any part of it; the promise they made the evangelical community to scrap their former plans to produce a gender-neutral translation has been broken; their claim to biblical accuracy is questionable to say the very least. Accordingly, the NIV and its newer sister publication, the TNIV, are versions I no longer will use nor recommend. --Hank |
