Today's New International Version 

See Mark Goodacre's Weblog for Feb. 20,2005. http://ntgateway.com/weblog/
The main website is here:
TNIV Bible: Today's New International Version

There is then an on-line element to that site here:
TNIV On-line

You can read the TNIV in PDF from that page, and a fully searchable and browsable TNIV is promised on the same page at the end of this month.

For the real enthusiasts, there is a new blog:
TNIV Bible Blog
It includes details of a free TNIV offer, but only for North American residents.

To get a feel for some of the controversy in evangelical circles, this is a good place to start:
Feature: TNIV Bible Translation
It's a feature on the PBS Religion and Ethics news weekly from last Friday.

And thanks to Maurice A. O'Sullivan for alerting me to this article from the Washington Post:
