Publishers Announce End of TNIV; overhaul of NIV

Christianity Today's Liveblog site has an article entitled, Correcting the 'Mistakes' of TNIV, Translators Will Overhaul NIV.

This is a major development that indicates the widespread dissatisfaction with the TNIV as a replacement for the NIV. Much of that dissatisfaction comes from significant stylistic changes, the most notable being "gender inclusive" language in many places (though never in reference to God). This change caused many conservative evangelicals to move away from the NIV, and may account for at least some of the popularity of the more recent ESV.
