About the Author:
Alan MacDonald, who compiled the additional material, worked in professional theatre as a writer and director for Nottingham-based Footprints Theatre Company, before pursuing a career as a freelance writer from 1990. Published over 21 years ago, the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION has become the world's best-selling contemporary Bible translation. More than 100 scholars worked for 15 years to complete it. Their main concern is that the NIV is faithful to the original languages while producing a clear, beautifully written and dignified translation suitable for private and public use.
