The New International Version (NIV) of The Bible was translated by a team of scholars from various evangelical denominations. The translation process began in 1965 and involved a committee called the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT), which included experts in biblical languages and theology. Notable figures among the translators included Dr. Kenneth L. Barker, who served as the general editor, and Dr. Bruce M. Metzger, a prominent New Testament scholar. The first complete NIV was published in 1978, with revisions released in subsequent years.
