About the NIV
More than sixty years after the vision was cast – and more than 600 million copies later – the New International Version (NIV) is the most widely read modern English Bible translation in the world. That’s because the NIV delivers the very best combination of accuracy and readability. Hodder & Stoughton has been publishing the NIV Bible in British English since the translation was created over forty years ago. We are committed to serving the church with the widest possible range of NIV Bibles at affordable prices. We hope you enjoy reading about these in more detail in this catalogue.
The NIV was always intended to be a translation which changes and develops in line with contemporary language usage and biblical scholarship. As you may know, the NIV was revised and updated in 2011 for the first time in 25 years. The majority of what has changed involves comparatively minor matters of vocabulary, sentence structure and punctuation. Other changes reflect advances in biblical scholarship over the last three decades. All these revisions aim to move the NIV from the English of 1984 to the English of the twenty-first century and are the decisions of the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) – an independent and self-governing body comprised of renowned biblical scholars from across the evangelical spectrum, who meet annually to review the text. Further information about the translation and the work of the CBT can be found at www.biblica.com .

John the Baptist prepares the way

‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way’ c
3 ‘a voice of one calling in the wilderness, “Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.” ’ d
4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptised by him in the River Jordan. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt round his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: ‘After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptise you with e water, but he will baptise you with e the Holy Spirit.’
The baptism and testing of Jesus
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’

To meet this need, we have enlarged our pew editions to create the NIV Larger Print Hardback Bibles in blue and burgundy. Both of these are identical in design and contents to the existing pew Bibles, just with larger, 11pt text. The page numbers therefore also match those found in the standard pew editions.

Larger Print Personal Bibles
The new NIV Larger Print Personal range tries to meet the perennial problem of finding larger print text in a compact format by scaling up the Pocket setting onto the 185 x 120 mm page size. Smaller than a regular Bible but with larger text than the Pocket editions, these Bibles are portable and easy to read, and match the pagination of our Pew Bibles.

To listen to
Listening to the Bible as an audiobook can be an enjoyable and beneficial way of absorbing Scripture, especially if you learn more by hearing than by reading. It can also help us to cover more of the Bible than we normally would through reading, and we can combine listening with other activities – such as driving the car, or washing up.
The Complete NIV Audio Bible
Ever since he became a Christian at the age of forty, it was Poirot actor David Suchet’s dream to make an audio recording of the whole Bible. In between filming the final episodes of Poirot, David Suchet spent over 200 hours in the recording studio to create the very first full-length audio version of the NIV Bible spoken by a single British actor.
This recording, and the Bible in One Year version, are available on MP3 CD and as audio digital downloads. The MP3 CDs can be used on any device that displays the MP3 symbol. You can transfer the audio files for your personal use onto your computer, smartphone, MP3 player and other compatible devices.

NIV Bible Stockist Scheme
At Hodder Faith we understand how complex buying a Bible can be, and the importance of a well-stocked range in aiding that decision. In order to support Christian bookshops in their mission to serve their customers, the NIV Bible Stockist Scheme can help ensure that your shop is the first and only stop when making an NIV Bible purchase.
Hodder Faith will provide a range of benefits to all bookshops that agree to become NIV Bible Stockists, including extra discount, exclusive Bible promotions, free point-of-sale material and more. In turn, NIV Stockists are expected to keep constant stock of a selected core list of Bibles plus a choice from the wider range, as well as displaying the NIV collection in your shop using the POS material supplied.
