Reviews:
'The Bible is the only reliable data we have about God. The NIV is a trusted Bible translation - it communicates clearly and relevantly to our world today.
I would encourage every Christian and every seeker to read this reliable translation daily and thoughtfully.' Canon J. John 'I went over every word of the NIV text in depth. I found it to be a wonderful balance of accuracy and accessibility, and I've used the NIV as my standard text ever since.' Philip Yancey 'The first thing I read was Psalm 23 and this version passed the test. I then re-read Matthew and found it fresh, and neither rootless nor jarringly updated.' Melvyn Bragg 'The NIV has the clarity of our modern language without losing any of the poetry; it is accessible but avoids being over-familiar.' David Suchet |
