What strange event was it in 1955 in Portland, Oregon, that prompted the creation of a translation of the Bible into modern English that eclipsed the well-known and much-loved King James Version (KJV) as the most widely read copy of the Bible? And what was the unique process, involving more than a hundred scholars from a wide variety of Christian denominations, that led to the publishing of the New International Version in 1978 that has now sold over five hundred million copies? In this book you will find the fascinating testimony of one of the original NIV translators that affords an insight into the toils and triumphs of those scholars. It will give you a fresh appreciation of the estimated two hundred thousand man-hours that went into the production of this influential version of Holy Scripture.
