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, and is exclusively published by Zondervan.
Work on the NIV began in 1965, sponsored by the New York Bible Society, which is today the Colorado Springs-based International Bible Society.
Many Fundamentalists strongly oppose the NIV and some claim it to be a heretical counterfeit.
One such passage is Romans3:25, where the NIV changes "propitiation" to merely "sacrifice of atonement": "God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood." But this confuses atonement, which is the result of the work of Christ, with propitiation, which is what Christ does to accomplish atonement.
In Acts3:18 and 21, for example, the NIV drops entirely the phrase "by the mouth of the prophets," a powerful testimony to divine inspiration that is lost to the reader.
In each instance, the NIV translates in such a way that everyone in these households believes and professes faith before baptism, rather than that the whole household is baptized on the basis of the faith of the head of the house.
