NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition, Hardcover, Red Letter, Comfort Print: New International Version, Study Bible

Product Information

Since the release of the full NIV Bible in 1978, the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) and Zondervan Publishers had hoped to produce a study version that would do one thing: help the reader better understand the Bible. Dr. Jeannine Brown: In much of my collaborative work, I’m able to focus quite narrowly on my specialty areas. For example, I’ve written a few commentaries on Matthew and feel thoroughly at home in that Gospel and in the scholarly writing around it. This project propelled us into the wide vista of the whole of Scripture. As we each were proposing new notes and revision of current notes on particular books, I was assigned the Old Testament books of Numbers, Chronicles, Psalms, and the Minor Prophets (in addition to New Testament books I’ve researched closely). I had an opportunity to study these books in greater depth than I usually do as a New Testament scholar, and it was a great privilege and pleasure to do this work. Zondervan has also published King James Version (KJV), Today's New International Version (TNIV), and New American Standard Bible (NASB) editions of this bible, with similar notes.

Welcome to the all new, full-color Zondervan New International Version Study Bible! The world's bestselling & most comprehensive Study Bible is now available for your mobile device! It's like placing an entire resource library for Bible study in the palm of your hand with an all new, clean, and powerful design. Even in places where the English translation was clear, notes and references could further clarify the meaning of the text. The NIV Study Bible provided clarity and context in abundance, with 20,000 notes and numerous maps, charts and diagrams. Dr. Jeannine Brown: It was helpful in a number of ways. First, as part of the NIV translation team, I know how difficult the work of translation can be and how often there are legitimate alternates for translating a particular text. So I wasn’t prone to use the notes of the study Bible to dispute the NIV translation. While it’s legitimate sometimes to provide translation alternatives (as the footnotes of the NIV itself often does), I found myself being sure in the notes to communicate the viability of the various translation choices of the NIV at places where real disagreement about translation occurs. Study Bibles (NIV Study Bible, NKJV Study Bible, NIV Woman's Study Bible, Lucado Life Lessons Bible, and more!) And so in the original NIV charter, provision was made not just to issue periodic updates to the text but also to create a mechanism for constant monitoring of changes in biblical scholarship and English usage. The CBT was charged to meet every year to review, maintain, and strengthen the NIV’s ability to accurately and faithfully render God’s unchanging Word in modern English.Practically, it helped to know well the other members of the NIV Study Bible team from our long-standing relationships on the Committee on Bible Translation. Our collaboration was carried along and enhanced by our friendships. Over 60 Full-color maps showcasing Mesopotamia, The Exodus, Egypt, Paul's first missionary journey, and more. Stay motivated with Holy NIV Bible Free Verse every day. Grow in your faith with NIV Study Bible-free devotionals. Now the study Bible millions have come to trust has been fully revised and updated. A new committee of top biblical scholars--who are current and former NIV translators with a passion for making the Bible’s meaning clear--have pored over every note, every article, every chart, and every essay to refine this treasured resource even more. Thousands of newly written or revised notes and articles combine with hundreds of four-color maps, charts, photos, and illustrations to create an entire library of study helps designed to increase your understanding and application of God’s word. The NIV text may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio), up to and inclusive of five hundred (500) verses without express written permission of the publisher, providing the verses do not amount to a complete book of the Bible nor do the verses quoted account for twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted.

Key features of the NIV Study Bible include archaeological notes, commentary from different sources, and extensive introductions to each book. Notes from translators who worked on the NIV translation add additional clarifying information.This is the study Bible that many have been waiting for,” said Curtis Vaughan of Southwestern Baptist Seminary. “A must for every serious student of the Bible,” said David E. Aune, professor at Saint Xavier College. James A. DeJong, president of Calvin Theological Seminary, who had been asking for a study edition of the NIV for five years, found the “introductions to be thorough, yet pointed; the biblical references rich.” Dr. Jeannine Brown: Drawing on my own study of Matthew, I was able to clarify the meaning of the Greek term teleios as used in Matthew 5:48. Jesus calls his disciples to “be perfect” like their “heavenly Father is perfect.” Because teleios doesn’t map exactly onto the English word “ perfect,” our note on this verse now provides the following clarification: Set in Zondervan’s exclusive NIV Comfort Print® typeface, this stunning, full-color study Bible answers your pressing questions with just the right amount of information, placed in just the right location. It is distinct from the NIV Zondervan Study Bible, edited by Don Carson and released in August 2015, which was later re-titled the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible in September 2018.

Long was a lifelong devotee of the King James Version, but when he shared it with his friends he was distressed to find that it just didn’t connect. Long saw the need for a translation that captured the truths he loved in the language that his contemporaries spoke.

Full text of the world’s most popular modern English Bible—the New International Version (NIV) 2011 edition. Second, our work in translation helped our study Bible team to provide notes that reflect a deeper level of linguistic nuance. For example, we’ve avoided reference to the “literal” meaning of words, since most words (in Greek and Hebrew, as well as in English) have distinct senses in various contexts and not a single basic meaning.
