Mike Sangrey has provided us with an excellent communication from Stan Gundry of Zondervan about the publication of the NIV & TNIV:
The production of the TNIV/NIV Bible–the Standard of Integrity
Its a very helpful discussion that makes things quite clear about how things work with the Committee on Bible Translation and the publication and royalties of the NIV & TNIV translations – particularly in light of the nonsense coming from other blogs which shall remain nameless.
Definition check it out.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for drawing attention to this. As I commented on his post, the information he shares helps keep people like me from jumping to conclusions because of a lack of information.
I appreciate how you are promoting a balanced view of the situation.
I kind of felt like I needed to after the little debacle on another blog – which you probably saw. I regret even going there now. But also, translation in general is an important topic for me.
Anyway, I’m a little sad we didn’t get to talk more last weekend, though I’m sure we will have more opportunities.
Its also nice to see directly that there are godly believers in the publishers and Bible Societies.
