Bible Note: Joe, I make the same prediction as you do and pray that we're both right; we may be, because it is quite possible that the publishers of TNIV misread their market potential and under-estimated the mounting backlash to this new publication. All the hype and endorsements in the world will avail little if the grass-roots Bible-buying public reject it. One further observation: If the initial negative responses are leading indicators of a gathering storm, not only may the TNIV really never reach cruising speed, but the sales of the NIV may indeed head south also. --Hank |
