"""Murray Harris, a well-known and premier New Testament scholar, provides a history of the New International Version in its early days, including some reflections on the translation up until the present day. The difficulties and decisions involved in translating the text are explained well. Harris, who is an expert grammarian and exegete, also gives us a number of short case studies of particular verses. We can be thankful for the legacy Harris has left for future generations, and for the wisdom that informs the present work."" --Thomas R. Schreiner, professor of New Testament interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ""This book is a fascinating memoir of Murray Harris's involvement in the monumental task of producing the NIV. The author's linguistic skill and wisdom are clearly on display in the discussions of the linguistic difficulties both of the biblical languages and of English. The Inner Story gives valuable insight into the workings of translators and translation committees."" --Simon Gathercole, professor of New Testament and early Christianity, University of Cambridge"
