More about the translation This revised and updated edition of the NIV includes three main types of change, taking into account changes in the way we use language day to day; advances in biblical scholarship and understanding; and the need to ensure that gender accurate language is used, to faithfully reflect whether men and women are referred to in each instance. The translators have carefully assessed a huge body of scholarship, as well as inviting peer submissions, in order to review every word of the existing NIV to ensure it remains as clear and relevant today as when it was first published. Royalties from all sales of the NIV Bible help Biblica, formerly the International Bible Society, in their work of translating and distributing Bibles around the world. Review: My favourite translation and a very sturdy book - There's a saying that "Bibles that are falling apart are usually read by people who aren't" and that was the case with my old Bible - it was literally falling apart. I'd had it so long I hated saying goodbye to it, but this one was so very similar I hardly noticed the difference. I like the NIV Translation better than any other and this one has a slightly bolder, denser type face than my old one which is definitely a bonus. It has the same explanatory notes, Bible guide and maps as my old version, but again printed more simply to be able to understand easily. I know the NIV isn't to everyone's taste but I like the way the chapters are set out with headings and things are explained with small footnotes. For a first time user or someone replacing, like me, I can thoroughly recommend this Bible. It's also proving sturdy in the spine, but flexible in turning the pages. I'm glad I made the change! Review: Good Bible - Great Bible, quite easy to understand, easy to read and feels strong holding and turning the pages.
