New International Version Bible at 50 Years

This is an award winning site for one of the current, more widely used English Bible translation, which in recent years became controversial because it adopted inclusive language for its latest edition. (Instead of distinguishing “he” and “she” as often happens in the Hebrew or Greek, they chose to make passages gender neutral.) Owners of the NIV would not allow publishers to continue using earlier editions if they did not agree with the inclusive language approach.

An interview with author Tim Gloege about his research into the influence of Evangelicalism on business and on middle income Americans. The Bible became a workers manual or contract for productivity.
