The New International Version Bible which has been America’s best selling Bible will be revised. This proposed revision comes after 25 years and is intended to modernize the language to make it friendlier for present users as well as include information gained from progress made by Biblical scholarship.
Though the publication of this version is still several months away (sometime in 2011), as it could have been expected, the proposal has already sparked a furious debate about tampering with God’s words. In fact the New International Version Bible has been in such controversies before when similar attempts in the past were weighed down by many controversies, a lot of them related with the replacement of gender-specific terms and changes which smacked of political correctness.
This time around The Committee on Bible Translation which would oversee the project have assured that the Bible translation process will be made as transparent as possible and would take into account the suggestions of scholars and readers.
