 The Committee
on Bible Translation (CBT) produced
the TNIV. The CBT is established to be an independent
self-perpetuating body of the most renowned English-speaking
linguists and scholars in the world. It was formed
in 1965 and commissioned to develop the NIV, by
far the most read, most trusted English translation
worldwide. The CBT has an ongoing commitment to
produce additional translations in the same standard
of excellence as the NIV.

International
Bible Society (IBS) sponsors the CBT
and owns the copyright to the TNIV. IBS is a nonprofit
ministry that uses proceeds to translate and distribute
Scripture in indigenous languages all over the
world. It is IBS’ mission to faithfully translate
and reach out with God’s Word.
IBS was founded in 1809 with a commitment to reach
the community of New York and the surrounding area
with the hope of God's Word. The mission in 1809 read, "...
extending the knowledge of the Holy Scripture ... persuaded
that a more extensive distribution among persons who
are destitute of them will have by the divine blessing
more beneficial effects." While the ministry of IBS
has changed much in nearly 200 years, the
mission of providing Scriptures to those in need has
remained. Throughout the history of the ministry, scores
of initiatives have provided the Word of God to more
than 400 million people in virtually every cross-section
of society worldwide.
