First published in 1979, the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION has become the world's best-selling contemporary Bible translation. More than 100 scholars worked for fifteen years to complete it. Their main concern is that the NIV is faithful to the original languages while producing a clear, beautifully written and dignified translation suitable for private and public use.
Sponsored by the International Bible Society who receive a portion of the purchase price of every NIV Bible to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
