Zondervan to Reissue the 1984 NIV

Zondervan announced today that they will be reissuing the 1984 New International Version.

“Ever since we stopped publishing the 1984 NIV in favor of the 2011 NIV, our sales have steadily decreased,” stated a representative for Zondervan. “We now realize that this decision was a mistake, and we will rectify the situation.”

“This is welcome news,” stated Tom Underton, pastor of a Southern Baptist church in Eerie, Indiana. “When we Baptists overwhelmingly rejected the 2011 NIV thirteen years ago, we sent them a message that we wouldn’t tolerate their gender-neutral Bible. I’m glad they finally got the message.

“We are now proud to say that if anyone wants to buy an NIV without gender-neutral language, they can!”

The 1984 NIV is available concurrently with the NIV released in 2011. In order to distinguish between the 1984 NIV and the 2011 NIV, the 1984 NIV will be rebranded as Yesterday’s New International Version (YNIV).

    This is wonderful news. And Holman is not to be outdone, (and I really shouldn’t leak this news, but I can’t wait another day). Holman is in talks with King Charles to publish the KCV.
