NIV vs. TNIV: Matthew 11:12

Rick Mansfield has compared the TNIV revision to the original wording in the NIV of Matthew 11:12 on the TNIV Truth blog.

Rick concludes:

Though the exact translation of the phrase is not a closed subject and still open to debate, in my opinion, the TNIV translators made a fair corrective to the NIV in this verse that fits in not only with the immediate context, but also with the context of the Bible as a whole and in many ways, with the context of church history.

Rick wrestles seriously with the exegesis of this verse and you will want to read his entire post.
