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 .

The paper is the same for each too, and the printing is line-matched, with minimal show-through.

“I found it helpful that tricky verses were explained, like ‘Why was Jesus rude?’ The field guides at the start of each book help me to know what’s going to happen.”
Jacob, aged 10
“I would definitely recommend this Bible to young curious minds, children who see themselves as explorers in the footsteps of Bear Grylls, and who want to learn more about the world and their own feelings as they explore their faith.”

Oisin, aged 10
“My son’s first response when he opened it was ‘Wow-this is really cool’ – he especially liked the map of the Bible books. The first night we opened this together rad a chapter of Genesis –as I kissed him goodnight he said –‘We should do this every night’”

The NIV Youth Bible digs deep into the Word. Covering the key themes that run all the way through the Bible, it showcases the wisdom, stories and human lives that we can all learn from.

We’ve asked tough questions (like, ‘Why does God allow suffering?’ and ‘What’s Leviticus all about?!’) as well as tackling important twenty-first century issues (like relationships and money). There are streams on each topic for individual or group study, Bible reading plans, helpful facts and real-life stories.

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. MP3 CDs

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.
If you would like further information, please contact the Hodder Faith Sales team on hodderfaith.sales@hodder.co.uk.
