Title: **NIV*** and the Message??
Review: I thought the NIV was bad enough in terms of watering down the language. But a paraphrase of the NIV? What's next, the Bible written in rebuses?I understand that not everyone can immediately pick up a KJV or a RSV and understand what it says. But investing the time to learn the higher vocabulary and style with a dictionary to help will pay off in the end.The Bible is simply too important to keep making easier and easier. At some point, one just has to invest some time and study the English language more in-depth.
