The New Authorized Version in Present-Day English is a version of the New Testament (along with some Old Testament passages) published in 2006. The copyright holder is an organization called "The New Authorized Version Foundation." This version is known as "AV7" for short.
Despite the name, it is not authorized for use in the Church of England, which is the origin of the original term "Authorized Version" to refer to the King James Version of the Bible.
Early distribution of AV7, according to the translation's official website, was made through "more than 2,800 Dollar Tree stores throughout the United States" beginning in April 2006. Because this translation is relatively new, there was not as of Fall 2006 a great deal of information or critical reviewing of it found online.
This translation is not to be confused with the Third Millennium Bible, which also uses the alternate name The New Authorized Version but is unrelated to AV7.
