Zondervan and the Committee on Bible Translation have made an announcement that greatly saddens me.  The translation that I use most often, Today’s New International Version, is being discontinued.  For reasons that are beyond me with my current worldview, this version was attacked as deviant.  And it appears that the people behind it have succumbed to these attacks, though they will never admit it.  To replace the TNIV they will be releasing an updated version of the New International Version.  Go to www.nivbible2011.com to voice your views on this.  Let your voice be heard that things such as unnecessarily male-gendered language are not appropriate in a modern English translation of the Bible.
