Widespread NIV usage demonstrates Christendom’s extensive conformance to dispensational doctrines. Composed by dozens of theologians from dozens of denominations and institutions, the NIV is credited as being accepted by more denominations than any other translation. As the world’s best selling Bible, NIV sales account for over one-third of Bible sales worldwide, having sold over 400 million copies since publication in 1978. Thus, the NIV is probably the most representative of Christian thinking, as well as the greatest influence upon Christian teaching and doctrine.
