New International Version (NIV)
Available in Hardcover or Leather, Regular-size, Handy-size, or Large Print.
(1978) The New York Bible Society sponsored this translation of the
Bible. A committee was formed to search world-wide for Bible scholars
from colleges, universities, and seminaries that would represent varied
backgrounds and denominations. Each book of the Bible was assigned to a
different team of scholars, who then used the best available Hebrew,
Aramic, and Greek texts to do the actual translation. Additional
committees checked and re-checked the translations for accuracy as well
as understandability.
This combination of accuracy and readability has propelled the NIV to
the number 2 spot in Bible sales behind the KJV. Zondervan Publishing
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, owns the rights to the NIV Bible.
