Today's New International Version (view source)
Revision as of 15:38, August 19, 2011
, 15:38, August 19, 2011edit reverted: changing "with child" to "pregnant" does downplay the existence of the unborn child as emphasized in the Bible
The '''Today's New International Version''' is a [[liberal]], [[feminist]] revision of the [[NIV]] [[Bible]], which was sharply criticized. The TNIV uses unisex, gender-neutral language unsupported by the original manuscripts in an apparent attempt to appease feminists and other liberals.
The '''Today's New International Version''' is a [[liberal]], [[feminist]] revision of the [[NIV]] [[Bible]], which was sharply criticized. The TNIV uses unisex, gender-neutral language unsupported by the original manuscripts, and even appeased feminists by omitting reference to Jesus as the unborn child:
:"When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she '''was found with child''' of the Holy Ghost" (Matt 1:18 KJV)
to:
:"His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, '''she was found to be pregnant''' through the Holy Spirit"
However, when referring to God, TNIV "retains gender-accurate, masculine terminology for references to God,"<ref>http://www.biblica.com/bibles/tniv/clarity.php</ref> much like its NIV counterpart.
