Hi there .......

Well, I for one would go for this. Suggest setting up a web page to let
us make a pledge and see what response we get?
Now - a rant - I see it as a great pity that so many people want the
NIV. As a theologian, I never recommend this translation to my students
as it has a party bias. The entire translation team is from the
evangelical school. The Good News (TEV) and the NRSV are two reliable
unbiased translations that I recommend to my students. Both are
available in Catholic editions or as versions with apocrypha, and the
NRSV especially is a good study bible. The NET bible too is an
excellent translation. Why, oh why do so many people still want the NIV?
God bless,
Barry
