Press Release from Paige Patterson, President Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC. January 28, 2002

 

On June 11, 2002 the International Bible Society published a press release claiming that the Forum of Bible Agencies had "issued a statement supporting the TNIV's adherence to established translation standards." In response, the Forum of Bible Agencies on June 24, 2002 issued a press release clarifying that "it has never endorsed the TNIV, as strongly implied in the release issued by Forum member IBS in conjunction with Zondervan."
