Subject: Gender-neutral NIV |
Bible Note: Greetings Hank! Thank you, and I agree with you: what is the reason for this new "TNIV"??? What is/was wrong with the original NIV? Unless I see a specific reason that displays a NEED for the NIV to be updated, then not one cent of my earnings will go towards a TNIV (or NIVI). But now I am strongly discouraged in even buying a regular NIV, since the International Bible Society seemingly has no faith at all in their own bestselling translation, believing it to be riddled with errors, it seems. Well, if the translators of the original NIV feel that it is full of errors and needs a revision, then who am I to argue with them? After all, the NIV is only 24 years old! Thats hardly enough time to see if it stands the test of time, like the KJV. And already, the translators of the NIV seek to replace it? It all seems very odd to me. Blessings to you, Makarios |
