Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 2022– Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announces the release of The NIV Telos Bible, developed in partnership with Feed, an initiative of OneHope.
“The Greek word telos means an ultimate object or aim. At OneHope, our ultimate aim is to equip the next generation with the Gospel in a way that empowers them to navigate the false narratives of their generation and apply biblical principles to the doubts and questions they wrestle with daily,” said OneHope President, Dr. Rob Hoskins. “We know that the Bible has the answers. But how will they know unless we teach it in a way that is relevant to them?”
Created to meet the spiritual needs of high school and college students, The NIV Telos Bible is designed to be contextually relevant and to challenge young adults to take a meaningful look at the Bible.
“Young people today face so many challenges that we, as adults, never faced growing up,” said Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan. “God’s Word provides guidance through any situation. By bringing it to young people, in a way that speaks directly to them, it is our hope that it will positively impact their lives, now and for years to come.”
