Leading NT scholar provides insight into NIV '11

The 2011 edition of the NIV was released earlier this year and many evangelicals awaited its arrival with great expectancy. Zondervan's update of the NIV represented an improvement in accuracy over the controversial "gender-neutral" TNIV released a few years back. However, upon closer inspection by complementarian scholars, it has become disappointingly clear that far too many of the issues caused by a "gender-neutral" approach to translation have remained with the NIV 2011.
Vern Poythress, a leading thinker and theologian among conservative evangelicals, has assembled a detailed history of the NIV and its evolution to the 2011 version, along with detailed analysis of the changes and "non-changes" in the NIV 2011. Poythress serves as professor of New Testament interpretation at Westminster Theological Seminary. His analysis is avaible in pdf format here:
