The NIV Study Bible is of outstanding value for providing readers a greatly enhanced understanding of The Bible.
1. GENERAL EVALUATION: There are many Study Bibles on the market. Including the NIV Study Bible [Zondervan Press], I own and use three. While my two other versions, one is the older RSV and the other the newer NRSV, give some information to explain the more difficult to understand passages and add commentaries, none go into the depth that the NIV does. The commentaries and explanations in the NIV Study Bible are, to say the least, profuse. Yet, not overwhelming in long elucidations that tend to make you forget what you just read. Rather, the commentaries are brief, to the point and very well develop understanding. The commentaries are not biased toward any single religious canon. They are simply information. Commentaries are cross-referenced, thus allowing the reader to gain further insight from related passages.
2. FORMAT: The page format is exceptionally well planned and implemented. The design is the traditional two-column format with references in a column between the texts. The commentaries are located at the bottom of the page to which they refer. The type font is large enough to easily read and is crisp.
Icons are used to quickly identify to what the commentary refers. These icons are: Character Profile, Archeology and Personal Application.
Maps relating to the particular text are on the same page as are diagrams. The four-color maps, located at the back of the book, are excellent. There are also time lines to assist the reader in grasping the time frames.
3. SUGGETSIONS: The following comments/suggestions may only apply to those who embark on an in depth study of the Bible.

The New International Version of the Bible is a highly readable, elegant translation, and this Zondervan edition offers copious annotations, cross-references, maps, timelines, and other info, including three indexes (to subjects, notes, and maps) and a huge concordium. An earlier reviewer claimed that certain verses, such as Matthew 18:11 and Acts 8:37, were left out, but in fact they are given as footnotes (apparently because there is some dispute as to their authenticity). My biggest qualm about this edition concerns the introductory notes to some of the books. In what may be an excess of piety, the editors go so far as to assert that King Solomon probably wrote the Song of Solomon and most of Proverbs, that Paul wrote all of the Pauline epistles, and (most dubious of all) that Moses probably wrote the Pentateuch! Few serious scholars would accept these claims. The editors also avoid discussion of how different Biblical traditions were conflated -- e.g., the two versions of the Flood story, which appear to have been interleaved, verse by verse, by a late redactor. Still, this edition is well worth owning for the grace and readability of the NIV translation, as well as the wealth of footnotes and other supporting material. As a bonus, the type is big enough to be read without eyestrain (at least as far as my middle-aged eyes are concerned).

Any choice of Bible other than the King James Bible is going to be met with frowns from some Christians. But for some people, the Old English will never allow the Bible to be relevant for modern Americans. In order to bring the Bible to life a lot of Christians and the curious opt for the paraphrased "Living Bible." It was the first bible I read because it makes the bible a less imposing tome. Unfortunately for enthusiastic fans of this easy to read version, bringing a Living Bible to a serious bible study will eventually evoke winces as the paraphrasing often shortens several verses into one. And its pedestrian language makes it a little difficult to fully appreciate the nuances of meaning a more direct translation can provide. Eventually a student will have to choose a "more serious" bible. If your church allows you to flexibility in the bible you choose you have a few choices. For me I really like the New American Standard version which I can only describe as feeling more like a direct, powerful and accurate translation while using English I can easily understand. But I also own a NIV New International Version for a number of reasons. As a study bible it is difficult to ignore. For one reason an awful lot of people use it so it simply makes it more practical to have the same translation as most of the other people in the room. Second the bottom portion of the page is loaded with helpful notes, commentary and references to parallel verses in other areas of the bible. Its kind of hard to surpass it as a shear study book. Having notes immediately at hand without having to pull out a concordance or some other three inch thick phonebook sized reference at your side can make private study time a little breezier.Read more ›

I've read this book. I wondered a little about the beginning, with the whole Adam and Eve thing... I thought to myself, "If this book is going to be about two naked people running around a garden naming animals all day, I might be bored."
Then, wham! They ate some bad fruit, were kicked out, one of their kids killed the other. Later on, there was a big flood, a father (Abraham) almost kills his son when God tels him to (God tells Abe to stop at the last second).
There's this whole thing about David who starts off by killing a guy several times bigger than him with a tiny stone. He goes on to become king, and has ... with somebody else's wife and gets in huge trouble with God. David wrote some poems about it, mostly about how God meant business, and still forgave him.
The story picks up as far as easy to read narrative stuff, much of which is in the form of letters by different guys to churches and old friends. A guy named Jesus is born who, instead of a last name, uses a title to as a surname. Goes by Jesus Christ, which means, "Jesus, the Anointed One." Seems he is both God and a man, 100% of each. This whole part is cool, on account he can do whatever he needs to do.
One time, when in a jam, Jesus makes a few fish and a little bit of bread into a ton of it, feeding a massive crowd. All this is not the story, though. The real conflict is when Jesus has a run in with some people who feel put-off that he claims to be God. They believed in God, and all, but they were expecting someone flashier. Instead, they got an ordinary looking Joe, the son of a tradesman. Jesus would tell them he wasn't God, so these people killed him.
The whole section where they kill Jesus is pretty exciting, loaded with dramatic lines, as well as subtle comments from Jesus noone understands at first.
