4.0 out of 5 stars Updated NIV is more accurate, but more controversial, February 22, 2011

This review is from: Holy Bible (NIV) (Kindle Edition)
In March 2011, the copyright owners of the most popular modern translation of the Bible in English, the New International Version (NIV), published the first revision of the NIV since 1984.
As a pastor who did not like the over-reaching political correctness of the Today's New International Version (TNIV, copyright 2002), I was concerned when I heard that the NIV itself was going to be revised. But after studying the digital early release version in numerous passages, I have been pleased that it is more accurate, but disappointed that while the use of gender-neutral language does not go as far as the TNIV, it still goes too far.
The new NIV retains 95% of the words of the 1984 edition, but where there are changes, it communicates the original meaning better to modern readers and more accurately than before.
Let me address several issues: gender-neutral language, omission of words, and accuracy of translation.
First, the most controversial issue of the TNIV (the...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for reading, the best NIV I've found for the Kindle, January 20, 2011

The NIV is my favorite version of the Bible. I am not rating the content of the Bible, but the ebook format. I bought this for my Kindle in the hope of quickly navigating to the scriptures in church or Bible study. For this purpose, it is not very good. I have to go back to the Table of Contents each time, trudge down the list of books of the Bible to find the book I'm looking for and then chapter and verse. If I had my regular print Bible with me I'd be at the verse much faster.

If your goal in getting the NIV is for actually reading through it, instead of quickly locating a verse, I would highly recommend this version. It is great for reading, just not great for quick reference. I do wish they would come out with an NIV Bible that showed Book and Chapter at the top or side of each page...

3.0 out of 5 stars NIV Bible for the Kindle, February 19, 2011

The NIV Bible for the Kindle is good reading of course but searching for a particular verse is hard to do. It will lead you to the Old and New Testament ok and to the particular Chapter but not the verses - say if you want to go to Genesis 1:15 it will bring you to Genesis 1 but then you have to go page by page to get to 15 - ugh! Other than that, it's great reading! The TNIV Bible for the Kindle is much better for finding your Chapters and Verses - You can get to exactly what you want by the menus.
