The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Christian Bible which is the most popular of the modern translations of the Bible made in the twentieth century.

Translation

---

Work on the NIV began in 1965, sponsored by the New York Bible Society, which is today the Colorado Springs-based International Bible Society. The New Testament was set forth in 1973, the Old Testament and full NIV Bible in 1978, and a modified edition in 1984.

The translation took more than ten years and involved 100 scholars from the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The range of theologians includes over 20 different denominations such as Baptists, Evangelicals, Methodists, and many more.
