| | A Review of the New International Version (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The International Bible Society, in league with several publishers in North America and the United Kingdom, has packaged the NIV in every style and binding imaginable, and for every group of people under the English-speaking sun. |
 | | There are expensive, luxurious leather editions and cheap paperback editions, versions for children and versions for college students, whole Bibles and individual verses, Bibles with 'Holy Bible' stamped in gold on the cover and Bibles that are only discovered to be Scripture when read by those familiar with the NIV. |
 | | Many versions of Holy Scripture claim to be literal translations (e.g., the AV, the Revised Standard Version, the New American Standard Bible); others claim excellent readability (the paraphrases such as the Living Bible and Phillips New Testament), but the NIV claims both literalness and readability. |
