TNIV Bible Discontinued

I happened to be reading the SharperIron this evening and saw the announcement in the sidebar "Ligon Duncan and Randy Stinson react to NIV Announcement". Apparently the TNIV is being discontinued as a result of the controversy surrounding the gender-neutral translating philosophy. Another revision of the NIV is planned for 2011. The post at the SharperIron had links to Justin Taylor's article and a link to another article at CBMW. This is encouraging, but it will be interesting to see what they come up with in 2011.

Here are some other links to articles concerning this announcement:
