Reviews:
'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.' George Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury 'Undoubtedly the most accurate translation of the Bible currently in English.' Revd Dr Michael Green 'What is most satisfying about [the NIV] is its combination of fidelity to the original text with felicitous English language.' Revd Dr John Stott, Rector Emeritus of All Souls Church |
