Conan on the NIV

Christianity Today September 2, 2009

News of planned revisions to the NIV made the monologue in last night’s Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien:

The language is changing so they’re revising the Bible. For instance, the Book of Genesis now includes the line, “On the Seventh Day the Lord chillaxed.”

It’s 6:11 into the video.
