I seem to remember hearing nasty things about the NIV, but I can't remember what the problems were. Comments on that?
For a recent discussion re: NIV, etc., see here: Literal vs. Dynamic.

Some other threads on this topic:

NIV Bible
Bible Versions

A website to consult on versions: http://faith.propadeutic.com/questions.html

I personally prefer the "ASV" (1901 Edition) to them all for study and the KJV for devotional and daily reading. Other versions that I would put my own stamp or approval on are the NKJV and NASB. As to the RSV, it has some definite non-conservative biases behind its translation and thus fails to make my list. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Reformation Monk mentioned the "Reformation Study Bible", which I concur is one of the very best in the Study Bible category. But as you will see from the thread linked above, I am adamantly opposed to the NIV version. And on a little side note, we are giving away a deluxe leather-bound copy of the "Reformation Study Bible" (NKJV edition) to the 25th person to donate to The Highway with a gift of $20 or more. See here: Support The Highway Special Offer.

In His Grace,
