HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION - SOFT TOUCH EDITION
 

THE NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (NIV) WAS INTRODUCED IN the 1970s as an effort to make the Bible available in more contemporary English. The aim was to produce a translation that did not offer archaic and sometimes hard to understand words and phrases found in the King James Bible.  Since then NIV has become extremely popular and it is said to be the best-selling translation in the United States.  Current figures are not available to us, but in 2013 as many of 450-million had been sold.

  • The NIV was translated by a panel of experts who consulted editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts.  The work was commissioned by the New York Bible Society, now known as Biblica.  The first copies appeared in 1978 with upgrades in subsequent years.

THE NIV COPY ON OFFER HERE IS BRAND NEW and has a number of distinctive features.  The cover is made of a synthetic leather-like material that is soft and  comfortable to the touch.  The page edges are gold-colored for a pleasant appearance and protection and the Bible is printed in the Zondervan NIV typeface designed for easy reading.

  • Bibles have been translated into 724 languages - and the New Testament alone into another 1,617 tongues.
