NIrV Module Is Outdated

[Jason_H]

After contacting Accordance support, I wanted to post a quick note for anyone else who may be using or planning to use the NIrV module for Accordance. The module does not reflect the 2014 updates, since the copyright says it comes from 1998. Nowhere on the module sales page does it point out that this is an out-of-print revision (and more than two decades old at that). In my publishing context, the Accordance NIrV module is useless until it receives an update. I was told by sales support that they have no plans or timeline to do that, which is unfortunate!

The website should definitely be updated to display the version information. The 2016 changes are substantial enough that Accordance will need to create a completely new module.

I’ll add this to my list today. Thanks!

Just chiming in to add that I too would like to see the updated NIrV as we utilize it for our children's worship. It would be helpful to have it in Accordance to be able to compare it with other translations. 😃

Still from Zondervan, correct? Remind me of the new publishing date?

[shane]

Yes, I believe it is still from Zondervan! I think the latest is from 2014.

 

Below is what I found from Amazon:

Bible Gateway lists the following for NIRV: New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

Hope that helps!
