The World’s Best-Selling Study Bible Now Raises the Standard Even Higher

That’s because its celebrated study notes have been thoroughly revised.

Turn to any page and discover the difference: over 20,000 of the Zondervan NIV Study Bible’s Gold Medallion Award-winning study notes—now meticulously updated and expanded to reflect the most current conservative Bible scholarship. Unmatched in any other study Bible, these notes place at your fingertips a treasury of instant commentary from today’s top evangelical scholars. Icons highlight notes of special interest in the areas of character study, archaeology, and personal application. Simply put, you won’t find study notes as complete, up-to-date, helpful, and easy to use anywhere else.

And the benefits build from there. Like no other Bible, The Zondervan NIV Study Bible places an entire resource library for Bible study in your hands. Over 6 million people have made it their study Bible of choice. Make it yours as well. It’s one choice you’ll always be glad you made. SPECIAL FEATURES NIV text remains unchanged, the most read, most trusted English-language translation. Over 20,000 study notes. NIV translators thoroughly revised and expanded the award-winning study notes, and added over 800 new notes. Icons make important information easy to spot.

900 Character Profile icons

425 Archaeology icons

Almost 3,000 Personal Application icons Introductions and outlines provide valuable background information for each book of the Bible. In-text maps, charts, diagrams, and illustrations right where you want them—five of which are completely new. 16 pages of full-color maps plus timelines and presentation page. Words of Christ in red letter. NIV concordance plus subject and study notes indexes. Clearer. Stonger. Better. Referred to daily by millions of pastors, students, church leaders and other Bible readers around the world, the renowned Zondervan NIV Study Bible notes are the crown jewel of the world’s best-selling study Bible. These over-20,000 notes are the handiwork of the same translation team that produced this Bible’s text, the New International Version. The same exacting, conservative scholarship that brought you today’s most read, most trusted Bible translation went into creating the most celebrated, widely used Bible study notes in existence. Why improve on what’s already outstanding? Because now it can be made even better. In the years since the 1985 publication of the first Zondervan NIV Study Bible edition, ongoing discoveries in archaeology, linguistics, biblical history, and other disciplines have suggested the need to revise the notes. Drawing on the most current scholarship, the world-class team who first created the study notes now present comprehensive revisions and additions that bring the notes thoroughly up to date. With all the changes to the study notes, however, one thing has remained unchanged—the time-tested, trusted text of the NIV itself. You’ll be pleased with the results. If you found the original notes indispensable in clarifying obscure Bible passages and shedding light on the meaning and significance of Scripture, you’ll love how these revised and expanded notes add even greater depth to your study of God’s Word. The New International Version (NIV) is today’s most read and most trusted English Bible translation. Since its release in 1973, the NIV has sold over 150 million copies. The goal of the NIV translation team was to produce an accurate translation and one that would have clarity and literary quality and so prove suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing and liturgical use. Today the NIV is accepted by more denominations than any other translation and is supported by a library of reference resources that is unmatched by any other translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ Dec 4 2003
By A Customer
Format:Leather Bound
This book will open your eyes to the truths that our society has been ignoring for much too long! An excellent guide for the post-modern thinker. Contains key concepts that will change your life, helping you too live happier and healthier! I believe that everyone needs to read this book, if only to open their eyes to see what our society has turned into instead of going through our daily routines, ignoring what other people have instilled in our brains, telling us how we should be living our lives. This is a very very important book and must be read as many people as possible. After you read this book you will begin to notice things happening in the world that you haven't noticed before. It will open your eyes to a new way of living, a better way of living. I recommend this book to all of you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best overall study Bible July 12 2004
Format:Hardcover
Looking for a study Bible?
Want a Biblical commentary that allows you to draw your own conclusions?

Then you may want to consider the NIV Study Bible.
This is a great study Bible for Christians both young and old in the faith. It combines a readable and reliable translation, excellent reference material, and unbiased commentary. I have seen this study Bible through all it's previous editions and am continually impressed.

Pros:
1) The readable and reliable NIV text.
Some people can be rather critical of the NIV even to the point of accusing this translation of heresy. Such accusations are completely without merit. I have studied from the NIV for over 20 years and I have never found it to be anything but reliable.

2) Excellent reference material.
Cross-references, maps, charts, timelines, historical context, and more. This study Bible has just about everything you would need for a complete study of any given passage. Granted, space restrictions do not permit an exhaustive analysis of any of the above. However, there is more than enough information to satisfy all but the most intensive reader.

3) Good commentary.
The study notes offered in this Bible are excellent. They do not enforce any one denominational position and present various viewpoints on disputible issues.

4) Easy to read print.
I do not know what kind of font was used for the printing of this Bible but it is incredibly easy to read.

Cons:
1) Thin paper.
Unfortunately the paper quality for many of Zondervan's Bibles has been rather poor recently. It is ultra thin, probably to allow for thinner Bibles. It can be distracting to see the opposite page through the one you are reading. Especially if the next page is a chart or a map. This can also cause problems for people who like to take notes in their Bibles.

2) Only available in the NIV.
As I've said in the Pros this format is very good for Bible study. It would be nice to have this available in another translation for those who prefer a more formal translation like the NASB or ESV. There is a Zondervan NASB Study Bible that is very similar but it has not been updated along with the NIV.

Overall, I would recommend this Bible to any one who desires to dig into God's word for themselves. You won't be steered wrong by this.
