In 2002, one hundred Christian leaders, including prominent [[conservative]] activists, signed a statement opposing use of the TNIV:<ref>http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?id=13461</ref>
:"Because of these and other misgivings, we cannot endorse the TNIV as sufficiently trustworthy to commend to the church. We do not believe it is a translation suitable for use as a normal preaching and teaching text of the church or for a common memorizing, study, and reading Bible of the Christian community."
Zondervan announced in 2009 its intention to discontinue publication of the [[TNIV]] and improve the [[NIV]]. "And we'll make sure we get it right this time," says Keith Danby, president and chief executive officer of Biblica. Maureen Girkins, president of Zondervan, also declared, "We need to undo the damage."<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-09-01-bible-translation_N.htm</ref> The new translation will replace the bestselling NIV, which will then be pulled off the market.
