Niv Reconsidered: A Fresh Look at a Popular Translation

Niv Reconsidered: A Fresh Look at a Popular Translation by Hodges, Zane C.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780960757695.

Among evangelicals the NIV (New International Version) of the Bible has become increasingly popular. In this book Radmacher and Hodges focus on the key issue of whether the NIV is an accurate translation. Beyond this key issue, the authors also examine the NIV in terms of its principles of translation, its English style, consistency and effectiveness in communication. The authors seek to be fair and objective in their analysis while refraining from much of the charged emotionalism that have characterized much of the literature on various Bible translations. Should the NIV become the new standard Bible for evangelicals? Read this book and find out!
