About the Author:
First published in 1979, the NIV is the world's bestselling contemporary Bible translation. More than 100 scholars from diverse denominational backgrounds worked for 15 years to complete the translation. Their main concern was to be faithful to the text of Scripture, and to reflect the literary and stylistic diversity within the Bible. The result is suitable both for private study and public reading. Sponsored by IBS, a portion of the selling price of every NIV Bible goes towards their work
Reviews:
'we [Westminster Chapel] have been using it [the NIV] for about fifteen years, and we are extremely happy that it is part of our regular ministry.' Dr R. T. KENDALL 'I am frequently asked to read a lesson during a church service, and the NIV seems almost invariably to be the version to be used. Its strength, clarity and dignity strike me each time I read aloud.' SIR CLIFF RICHARD, OBE 'Over the past 21 years the NIV has established itself as one of the most widely used and appreciated modern versions of the Bible. The quality of its translation richly deserves this wide recognition and I hope that it will continue to be of equal benefit to many more people in the years to come.' The Most Revd and Right Honourable The Lord Archbi |
