New International Version

[Dordrecht]

Publisher: a person or company whose business is the publishing of books, periodicals, engravings, computer software, etc

I am so happy you pointed that out to me. Did not have a clue!

And as far as a company "being Christian", which means the owners or shareholders are Christians....don't you think that should make a difference as to what would be published (what is that?) by that company?

Does it matter if Zondervan is Christian or not?

You think Christians can operate their businesses as if they were NOT Christians, for instance, should a Christian operate a video store where they rent out porno movies....uh? ...free enterprise...capitalistic system?

In our area a fellow operated a magazine distributing business (what are magazines?), he found out there were porno mags in the system and he kicked them out.

Zondervan does not publish the Satanic bible or whatever it was

Zondervan did not translate the NIV

What does that have to do with WHO translated the NIV?

Again what does that have to do with the quality of the NIV?

Feel free to go into Wikipedia.org and set the record straight.

It's a translation, like any other, and has its flaws, is known by its fruit?
Its translation of Ezekiel 13:18-20, "...birds?" is just a little worse than the KJV "Easter," imo.
