The standing questions
Answered from the spec sheet and the positions above, never from the meters.
Is this the full Bible text?
Yes. It carries the complete NIrV text. The articles, memory verses, activities and maps are added around the text, not in place of it.
Which translation is it based on?
The New International Reader’s Version, which takes the NIV text and adapts it for a third-grade reading level with easier words and shorter sentences. It is published by the same group as the NIV.
What ages is it for?
The publisher says ages 6 to 10. The publisher also lists an NIV Adventure Bible with the full NIV text; its site gives no age for it.
Who wrote the notes?
The retailer listing names Lawrence O. Richards as editor. The publisher’s Adventure Bible site names no editor or contributors.
Is it word for word?
No. The NIV sits between word-for-word and thought-for-thought, and the NIrV simplifies it further for new readers. The literal-to-idiomatic meter shows where readers place its feel.
