Bible: Old Testament
built 659 days ago
Arguably, The Bible is one of the greatest and oldest literary efforts ever. However, throughout the years, there have been mad playa haters and some outright psychopaths who were influenced by The Bible. It's worth noting again that The Bible was intended to be a piece of fiction, and was never meant to be taken seriously to the extent that it has already. But in a time where there weren't microprocessors and Beck, it's understandable how so many found comfort in such an entertaining series such as The Bible and used it to explain the world around them.

For Bible publisher Harper Collins/Zondervan, the college campus represents perhaps the single most important market for its one-year-old translation of the New Testament, called Today's New International Version (TNIV). The twist behind the TNIV is that it's a gender-neutral translation of a decades-old Bible, the New International Version, which is the favorite of conservative Protestants across North America. Many prominent evangelical leaders actually have come out against the TNIV, but Zondervan is hoping to do an end-run around them by popularizing the book on campuses.

The Apocrypha may be arranged in the traditional Catholic order, interspersed through the Old Testament, or in a separate section between the Old and New Testaments (like Martin Luther first did in his Bible translation into German). The Luther order is the more popular one for ecumenical works, now, because it is more acceptable to more people.

The TNIV launch includes men's and women's Bibles, pocket Bibles and even the Bible written as a novel. They are all designed with compelling formats to engage the minds and hearts of 18- to 34-year-olds, who are more spiritually intrigued than any other age demographic but are leaving the church in large numbers, according to statistics.
