NIV 1984 Anglicised "Version"

Its all about international rights (yawn - protecting their back yard) to sell the NIV Hodder and Staughton hold the UK rights to the NIV, Zondervan hold most of rest of world, and rarely do they allow each others products to be sold..

Ok, so what's the difference between this NIV 1984 $9.95 version of Logos and the one Zondervan doesn't want to sell anymore?

Concern for clear and natural English—that the New International Version should be idiomatic but not idiosyncratic, contemporary but not dated—motivated the translators and consultants. At the same time, they tried to reflect the differing styles of the biblical writers. In view of the international use of English, the translators sought to avoid obvious Americanisms on the one hand and obvious Anglicisms on the other. A British edition reflects the comparatively few differences of significant idiom and of spelling.

The Holy Bible: New International Version—Anglicised. 1984 (electronic edition.). London: Hodder & Stoughton.

So we get words like armour and colour spelt correctly, otherwise it is the same Bible. Main use that I make of the copy in Logos is generating word searches.

Does anyone else think it's strange that you need an American version and an Anglicised version of the New International Version?

I would encourage you to get it while you can!

Because once the Anglicised  NIV 2011 appears the Anglicised 1984  may be withdrawn from sale.

The Anglicized NIV 2011 most be coming soon...

Strange the British publishers are happy to sell 1984 but Zondervan are not.

Maybe Zondervan is not allowed to sell the 1984 but as there is no 2011 Anglicized  Staughton is allowed to - until the 2011 is Anglicized and the door closes?

Hi Rupert

I see no restriction of the US NIV

I have it and I am in the UK

Have you tried purchasing it, here is link below.

It is unfortunate that the Anglicised NIV does not have interlinear.

Does anyone know if there's an Anglicised NIV yet that includes reverse interlinear (to allow sympathetic highlighting)?

I just bought the Anglicised 1984, and this doesn't work. The Logos website doesn't make this particularly clear pre-purchase.

I don't think you should expect a RI to be made available for the Anglicised NIV. It was never done for the 1984 version, and I think Bob has stated somewhere else that the focus is on getting Reverse Interlinears sorted out for Bibles in other languages rather than increasing the number of English ones.

Customer Services say I have the NIV interlinear files, and they would work with the US 2011version. But they aren't sure if they can sell me this as I live in the UK... 

Anglicised

If you've got a base package, you are likely to have the US NIV 2011 already, wherever you live. I'm in the UK, and have always had the American NIV as part of my package. 

When I purchased Libronix back in 2001, when I was living in the UK, the NIV did not unlock, despite being part of the package. I had to purchase the Anglicised version separately from Wesley Owen...

When I added the SESB a few years later, the NIV unlocked without issues.

NIV doesn't come with the reformed base package sadly.

It is my understanding the the NIV does not come with any base packages currently. 

The Anglicized NIV (1984 or 2011) does not. The US NIV2011 comes in Standard Bronze, Bilingual Bronze, and Biblical Languages.

Indeed, you are right. Was it removed from L5 packages and put back in with L6? Or is my memory playing tricks as my birthday approaches.

That I do not know, as I am only recently come to the Logos ecosystem.
