A Reader's Hebrew and Greek Bible with TNIV: A Smart Move by Zondervan?

We all know that the TNIV never really made a positive impression in the market.  This is because of the anti-campaigns on one hand and Zondervan’s failure to promote it more on the other hand.

But Zondervan’s move to publish A Reader’s Hebrew and Greek Bible with the TNIV as the underlying text (NT) should help raise the stock of the TNIV:

And I’m so encouraged that it’s not the NIV being used.

Maybe it will go a long way to convince some people that the TNIV is a fine, balanced translation.

    The NT Greek is based on the TNIV but the Hebrew is based on the Leningrad Codex. I’d be interested to see what differences there would be in a Hebrew text engineered to match the TNIV, especially given that textual criticism of the OT is quite a bit different than that of the NT.

    Nick, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I like to see how that works too.

    Here’s a cool article from Bruce K. Waltke here.

    $75 is a big chunk of money though…

    That’s Zondervan’s price for now. It’s interesting to note three BJU PhD’s behind the project.

  5. Exciting news. You made my day.

    Seems like a significant investment in the TNIV.

  6. tc robinson says:

    Stan, a great investment in the TNIV, indeed!

    I would definitely buy this if I could read Greek or Hebrew
    :-(

    Nathan, maybe buying this might be the motivation you need for learning both. ;-)
