To: Tell It Right

The 1984 NIV is very readable and OK on accuracy.

The 2011 NIV is best deposited in the nearest round receptacle. It is a politically driven, gender neutral translation that is torture to read where it has been mangled.

I agree 100% and the reader should beware that the NIV being sold new today is the horrible 2011 version. To get the 1984 edition you have to buy it used.

Well said! The ‘84 NIV is getting very hard to find in an online version.
