FROM CHURCHLEADERS:HarperCollins Christian Publishing and Zondervan will not be publishing the God Bless the USA Bible after all. The news comes after the circulation of an online petition, as well as a letter written by several Christian authors who have published books with Zondervan.
“Zondervan is not publishing, manufacturing or selling the ‘God Bless the USA Bible,’” said the company in a statement provided to Religion Unplugged. “While we were asked for a manufacturing quote, ultimately the project was not a fit for either party, and the website and marketing of the NIV [New International Version] project were premature.”
UPDATE: After Considerable Outrage, Zondervan Halts God Bless the USA Bible’s Production
