Rupert Murdoch owns the Bible

How did I not know this?

The New International Version of the Bible is one of the most popular modern English translations. The NIV is published by Zondervan which was bought out in 1988 by HarperCollins, which is owned by News Corp, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

As someone said to me today, people might not be buying newspapers anymore, but they're certainly buying Bibles.

  1. And if we buy enough will Rupert buy the ESV folk out too?

  2. Perhaps to justify the takeover he'll take out citizenship in heaven.
    We can hope.
