Bible Note: Hello, NASB and ESV! Hank: Regarding your decision to dispose of your copies of the NIV. It saddens me to say this, but I am seriously considering doing the same -- not because of any perceived weakness in the original NIV, but as a protest against the TNIV. At this time I have removed every edition of the NIV from my bookshelves and have put them away out of sight. I may take it a step further and remove all of them from my house. Even though the NIV is the pew Bible in use at my local church, I will not be reading or even touching the NIV while in church. I am still shocked and feeling betrayed to see the publishers (both the Bible society and Zondervan) dancing to the tune of political correctness. NASB yes! NIV no! kalos |
