About this title

Synopsis

In this redesigned edition, the head of the New International Version translation project answers questions about the NIV's handling of the original languages.
The author deals on a case-by-case basis with fifty Old Testament and one hundred New Testament passages, explaining questioned translations and defending the committee's word choices. In the appendixes he responds to allegations that the committee deliberately skewed passages to favor homosexuality or new age philosophy, and that translators erred in declining to base their work on the Textus Receptus.
The Accuracy of the NIV in the first of three volumes on the NIV. The two other titles will be The Making of the NIV and The Balance of the NIV.

Store Description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley.
