A Great Translation of a Timeless Collection of Inspired Texts
It is difficult to relate how much I appreciate this well-done translation. Like the NIV, the TNIV does not aim for a literal, word for word translation from the Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek ancient texts, but rather tries to get at the heart of the meaning behind those words. Good translations that shoot for a more literal, word-for-word approach include the NASB (New American Standard Bible), and a very good compromise between the NASB and the TNIV is the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version).
