I've been told it "right around the corner" a few times now and am getting tired of waiting...how much longer?
...so the NIV was the first translation I read all the way through... it was memorable
...anyone else?
The NIV was my first Bible I purchased. Its the one I mostly read, and the one I tend to remember verses from.
I hope I will like the NIV-2011 next year. I also hope we continue to have NIV-Classic and TNIV in Logos, once we get the new one.
(I did always wonder about all the things in the NIV footnotes: "Some manuscripts have ..." etc, and now with Logos, I can find out about them if I wish.)
I dont currently have an iThing (iPhone or iPad), but if/when I do, I will want NIV if at all possible.
The NIV is so popular because Zondervan bought shelf space at the front of all Christian book stores not because it is a good translation. It is not horrible, but it is by no means very good.
This is the largest reason that my friends won't use logos 4 iphone because they can't get the NIV and though it may not be the best translation it is the most used. Those friends of mine that do have logos have some other software too because of the NIV.
