Dr. Jeannine Brown: Drawing on my own study of Matthew, I was able to clarify the meaning of the Greek term teleios as used in Matthew 5:48. Jesus calls his disciples to “be perfect” like their “heavenly Father is perfect.” Because teleios doesn’t map exactly onto the English word “ perfect,” our note on this verse now provides the following clarification: The NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition, combines one of my all-time favorite translations with the critical insights of outstanding scholars (male and female). It is substantive yet accessible, thorough yet engaging. Whether you are relatively new to Christian faith and navigating new territory, a mature Christian in search of fresh insights, or a church leader committed to preparing biblically anchored messages, this resource is designed to keep on giving.” –Rev Dr Kate Coleman Founding Director of Next Leadership

For 10 years, Long and a growing group of like-minded supporters drove this idea. The passion of one man became the passion of a church, and ultimately the passion of a whole group of denominations. And finally, in 1965, after several years of preparatory study, a trans-denominational and international group of scholars met in Palos Heights, Illinois, and agreed to begin work on the project – determining to not simply adapt an existing English version of the Bible but to start from scratch with the best available manuscripts in the original languages. Their conclusion was endorsed by a large number of church leaders who met in Chicago in 1966.

Dr. Jeannine Brown: It was helpful in a number of ways. First, as part of the NIV translation team, I know how difficult the work of translation can be and how often there are legitimate alternates for translating a particular text. So I wasn’t prone to use the notes of the study Bible to dispute the NIV translation. While it’s legitimate sometimes to provide translation alternatives (as the footnotes of the NIV itself often does), I found myself being sure in the notes to communicate the viability of the various translation choices of the NIV at places where real disagreement about translation occurs.
