Customer Reviews
They change words in the TNIV.
Generally speaking, I really enjoy The Bible Experience audio Bible. And I might make updates to this review as I go along. I just finished Revelation 10. I am not only listening, I am reading along. They changed words in chapter 10. Twice the TNIV uses male pronouns for an angel in the chapter. I’m verses 5 and 6, male pronouns are used. They changed the pronouns to “the angel” and then used a female actor to voice the words the angel speaks in verse 7.
Same thing in verse 9. Male pronouns are replaced with “angel” and then a female actor voices the angel’s words in the verse
Inexcusable to change the words to use a different gendered actor.
Update: same thing in chapter 14. I have the TNIV Bible in front of me. So I am listening to what they should be reading. Masculine pronouns replaced with the word “angel” and then a female actor is used. Chapter 14 verses 6 and 7.
No need for this. Other times in the book even when no pronouns are used, male actors do the voices. Inconsistent. Changing the words is simply wrong.
