NIV Translator List

 

*Notice that in many instances, there is NO CHURCH AFFILIATION noted. It appears that many of the translators either did not attend any church (imagine that) or did not want their particular belief known (were they ashamed or being typically deceptive?)

Make particular note of those translators who are highlighted.

There are some very serious problems with some of their lifestyles/beliefs as far as the Word of God is concerned.

NIV Translators and Editors,
and their Institutional and Church Affiliations

The following list of NIV translators and editors is reproduced from the list provided by the International Bible Society in September 1993. The list does not always give the church affiliation of the persons listed. In a few cases there is no institutional affiliation given, but only a city of residence. Presumably, the names listed are all those who participated in the translation of the original NIV (1973-1978) or of the revision of 1984. Many of the people listed here are known to have had only a very minor role in the translation.
