About this app

*SPECIAL* -- Get a FREE offline download of the NIV when you create a TecartaBible account today!


Welcome to the NIV 50th Anniversary app! The New International Version is the world’s most read and most trusted modern-English Bible translation—easy to understand, yet rich with the detail found in the original languages. The NIV is the result of over 50 years of work by the Committee on Bible Translation, overseeing the efforts of many contributing scholars. Representing the spectrum of evangelicalism, the translators come from a wide range of denominations and various countries, and continually review new research in order to ensure the NIV remains at the forefront of accessibility, relevance, and authority.

This special NIV translation app (brought to you by Zondervan & Biblica) allows you to stream the complete New International Version text with and gives you full-access to many popular NIV Bibles to try for a limited time. You also gain access to historical articles and videos that share the history of the NIV, introduce the committee of distinguished scholars that work on the translation, and share the impact the NIV is having all over the world. There is even an NIV 365-Day Devotional to help you stay in the God’s Word all year! We'd like to give a special thanks to Biblica for providing the NIV Bible text free to all app users. If you would like to learn more about their ministry across the globe or support their work, please visit Biblica.com.
