Thomas Nelson, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announces its release of The Open Bible, now available for the first time in the widely-read New International Version (NIV) translation.
“For more than 40 years, Thomas Nelson has published The Open Bible,” says Philip Nation, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Thomas Nelson (@NelsonBibles). “The new combination of our premier reference system with the NIV translation offers a Bible edition that is transformative for every level of Bible reader.”
The Open Bible is also available in the King James Version (KJV) and New King James Version (NKJV) Bible translations.

The Bible is the most life-changing, timeless document in history. A unified book that, on the surface, can be multifaceted and confusing:
- filled with different genres, like wisdom literature, poetry, prophetic speeches, and historical reporting
- written by many writers in many cultures in different languages over a long period of time.
While its message points to one unified truth, the Bible in all its many parts can be complex and difficult to navigate.
