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.

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.

$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.
Exciting news. You made my day.
Seems like a significant investment in the TNIV.
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.
me too Nathan.
