I wasn't surprised to find out that it was a faithful translation. My old professor, Douglas Moo, is the chairman of the Committee on Bible Translation. The NIV is in good hands.

What is the difference between NIV 1984 and NIV 2011?

The most frequent change in the 2011 NIV is the removal of the word 'he' (it occurs 1131 fewer times compared to the 1984 NIV) and in part this contributes to the accusation that political correctness rather than Scriptural faithfulness is calling the shots.

What is the controversy with the 2011 NIV?

The 2011 NIV is being criticized for its inclusive language. The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) is taking the translation committee to task for inaccurate gender language.

This 1984 edition was the standard edition of the NIV until the latest revision in 2011. In 1988 the New York Bible Society was renamed the International Bible Society (IBS) to more accurately reflect its mission as an international Bible translation and distribution ministry.

What changed in the NIV Bible in 2011?

While there are noticeable changes in the 2011 NIV, such as gender-inclusive language and updated phrasing, the core message of the Bible remains the same. The changes were made to enhance readability and clarity, not to alter the theological integrity of the Scriptures.

Why did NIV remove Bible verses?

Let me repeat that: There are NO missing verses in the NIV. Unfortunately the authors of the NIV decided to remove certain verses from the main Biblical text because “the oldest and most reliable manuscripts” do not have them. But all the verses that have been taken out are found in the footnotes.

What is the NIV 2011 issue?

The TNIV and the 2011 NIV have both made changes to certain passages that suggest a feminist or progressive interpretation. The changes were significant enough that the conservative group The Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood refused to recommend the NIV as a trustworthy Bible translation.

What was the major revision of the NIV in 2011?

In the 1984 NIV, many verses use male-specific terms, such as "man," "he," or "brothers," even in contexts where both men and women are implied. The 2011 NIV revision made updates to reflect gender inclusivity where the original text refers to both genders.
