The top-selling Bible in North America will undergo its first revision in 25 years, promising to reopen a contentious debate about changing gender terms in the sacred text.
The New International Version, the Bible of choice for conservative evangelicals, will be revised to reflect changes in English usage and advances in Biblical scholarship, it was announced Tuesday. The revision is scheduled to be completed late next year and published in 2011.
“We want to reach English speakers across the globe with a Bible that is accurate, accessible and that speaks to its readers in a language they can understand,” said Keith Danby, global president and CEO of Biblica, a Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Christian ministry that holds the NIV copyright.

Or maybe those who are evangelicals, and hold to an inerrant Bible will rise up to teach our straying brethren the Truth.
Talking about the methodists or the lutherans?
Wont buy it
Now, now, next thing you know, someone’s gonna start nailing Bible versions to church doors.
It’s more likely there is a vibrant Southern Baptist presence in American locales where the Romish are looey.
Also you know nothing about the bible biz. The NIV simply marginalizes itself by forcing these politically correct revision. NASB and NKJV are both quite popular among modern readers who want great accuracy.
No thanks. Christianity is good enough for me.
What a miniscule market! The people interested in political correctness aren’t interested in reading Bibles anyway.
The International Bible Society supposedly started out with a wonderful mission, to send out bibles worldwide to people who had few or none. They weren’t satisfied, however, to publish a simplified version of their flagship NIV. They aim to bastardize their original NIV, keeping the same name. I toss their solicitations now.
You’re a presumptuous little feller.
I’m bold. Deal with it.
Catholics voted 54% for Obama, Evangelicals voted about 75 to 80% against him. I don't think that we need more Catholic voters.
NASB has been helpful in recent years by tossing out the obsolescent “thees” and “thous” forms and by clarifying a number of terms. (E.g. the coy “immorality” is now “sexual immorality” when it corresponds to the Greek “porneia.”)
F=MA
F=force
M=mass
A=audacity
If the Catholic voters in the USA were more like the Catholics in Central and South America we’d do quite a lot better.
I don’t get that, I thought Latin America was pretty inferior compared to the Protestant United States.
Keeping within the Catholic sphere, I mean.
I still don’t get it, I would think that our Catholics are better than their Catholics. What is good about Central and South America?
