Question:  Why is this presentation of the Bible called "AV7 ~ The Invitation Bible"? What does AV7 represent?

Answer:  "AV7" is an acronym that serves as an abbreviated title for "The New Authorized Version of the Bible in Present-Day English."

The first two letters, "AV" stand for Authorized Version, and the "7" represents the seven levels of computer processing used to generate this literally accurate, word-for-word translation from the original Greek language into English; and then to refine the resulting text into an easy-to-read present day English syntax while carefully preserving word-for-word translation accuracy.

Who "authorized" The AV7 Bible so that the title "New Authorized Version" is appropriate? What is the basis for claiming that AV7 is an "authorized" version?

The AV7 Bible is "authorized" in two ways:

First, AV7 closely corresponds to the time-honored English text of the Bible that acquired the title "Authorized Version" by acclaim,  even though it was never actually "authorized" by any official individual, group, or organizational authority.  Nevertheless, since AV7 is a presentation of the Bible that closely corresponds to that long-established and highly acclaimed English text,  the title "New Authorized Version" is entirely appropriate and applicable.

It is important to note that the most trustworthy English language translation of the Bible evolved through many, many revisions,  corrections,  and much "fine-tuning" over many hundreds of years,  yet it always preserved continuity throughout.

Second, the AV7 copyright is administered by "The New Authorized Version Foundation,"  a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving literal translation accuracy.  As the copyright holder for AV7,  the New Authorized Version Foundation has declared that The AV7 Bible is authorized to be freely copied for any non-commercial purpose.

As of the date of the first printed publication of  The AV7 Bible  in 2006,  no other previous or subsequent version of the Bible had been found to have used a copyright notice that explicitly stipulated authorization for its text to be freely copied,  without restrictions,  for any non-commercial purpose.

On the contrary,  most if not all commercially promoted English language versions and paraphrases of the Bible ever published have displayed a copyright notice that stipulates  "All Rights Reserved,"  thereby making the somewhat questionable assertion that the publishers and copyright holders of those version claim to have exclusive proprietary ownership of  "their"  unique versions of the Bible. 

In distinct contrast to that dubious claim,  the copyright notice for  The AV7 Bible ~ The New Authorized Version in Present-day English  clearly states:

"Only commercial rights are reserved.
All others may freely copy."
