Rod,
This Z text sounds like the same concept as the GNT which was produced
backwards from the KJV where they editors corrected the TR to make it more
KJV compliant. Can't say I would have much enthusiasm for a text that was
made to reflect the NIV. If Z does produce such a text the cover should be
embossed with a big Z across the front so that it can be easily identified
as the NIV GNT.
As long as the professors keep requiring the UBSGNT 4th ed. as a text book,
there will be little market for a new GNT. I suspect professors will
continue to do this because of the aparatus and other helps bundled with the
text which are all under copywrite.
Thanks Rod,
Clay
