New International Version (NIV)

1984, 1996

The NIV has become the best-selling English version of the Bible since the King James Version. The NIV follows the principle of "dynamic equivalence" to ensure crystal clear understandable English. The NIV is the most readable English Bible ever produced.

Today's New International Version (TNIV)

2001

The TNIV is the next generation of the hugely popular New International Version Bible introduced in 1978. The TNIV is marketed as "the new translation for today’s generation." According to Zondervan, "It combines uncompromising reliability, the clarity of today’s language, and the heritage of the most trusted translation, the NIV."

The TNIV is the masterwork of an interdenominational team of world-renowned translators and language experts, including several members from the original NIV team. The TNIV incorporates not only changes in the English language that have occurred during the past thirty years since the NIV was launched, but also reflects significant advances in Biblical scholarship made during that time. Remaining unswervingly faithful to the original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts, the TNIV speaks God’s words to today’s world.

New International Reader's Version (NIrV)

1998

The New International Reader’s Version (NIrV) was developed to help early readers understand the Bible. Begun in 1992, the NIrV is a simplification of the New International Version (NIV). The NIrV uses shorter words and sentences so that those with a typical fourth grade reading level can comprehend what they are reading. The chapters have been separated into shorter sections and most have titles that clearly indicate what the section is all about. The NIrV will be a valuable translation to those for whom English is a second language. The NIrV still relies on the best and oldest copies of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts for its translation, guaranteeing that those who read it are getting the actual Word of God.
