Today's New International Version

A number of people have asked me about the TNIV. Every person has expressed concern that this is a corrupted translation. They have also all been convinced that this is a new translation. I'm not sure why all the questions have popped up.

So I decided to look into it. I invite you to check out their website http://www.biblica.com/bibles/tniv/ and see what you think. I've learned that the original TNIV put out a number of years ago was more of a concern than this one might be. It appears that the translators are making a diligent effort to be faithful to the original biblical text and to be relevant to today's culture.

I personally like the NIV for it's readability and accuracy. I use the NASB and the ESV when I want a translation more close to the original text. I also use the NLT for young people or new Christians.

Enjoy the Word! Share the Word!

What do you think of the New King James version?  That's what I've had for several years.

It's good. I think it's a pretty solid translation, certainly more readable than the old kjv. I grew up reading the kjv and still enjoy it. One thing I've been trying to learn about the nkjv is if it has based its translation on the best manuscripts available at the present. Since the 1611 kjv there have been substantial discoveries of ancient manuscripts that help scholars adjust translations to be more accurate to the original texts. Hope that helps. Smile
