The New International Version® Bible (NIV)
The NIV has become the best-selling English version of the Bible since the King James Version. The NIV follows the principle of "dynamic equivalence" to insure crystal clear understandable English. The NIV may be the most readable English Bible ever produced.
Today's New International Version® Bible (TNIV)
The TNIV is the next generation of the hugely popular New International Version Bible introduced in 1978. The TNIV is marketed as "the new translation for today’s generation." According to Zondervan, "It combines uncompromising reliability, the clarity of today’s language, and the heritage of the most trusted translation, the NIV." The TNIV uses a "dynamic equivalence" approach to translating scripture, which puts it somewhere between a paraphrase (e.g., The Living Bible or The Message) and a literal translation (e.g., New American Standard Bible or English Standard Version). The TNIV translators' goal was to strike a "balance between word-for-word and thought-for-thought" translation.
The New International Reader's Version® Bible (NIrV)
The NIrV was developed to enable early readers to understand God's message. The NIrV was designed to make the Bible clear and understandable to early readers and can be read by a typical fourth grader. For this reason, it is also of value to the millions for whom English is a second language. It intends to be distinguished by five fundamental characteristics—readability, understandability, compatibility with the NIV, reliability, and trustworthiness. It serves as a natural stepping-stone to the NIV when the time is right.
