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. 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.
Over the
last five years, the editors of the NIV study Bible have painstakingly
reviewed, revised, and rewritten the notes of the classic, best-selling
NIV Study Bible. Over 80 percent of the notes have been revised and
adapted in some way from the 1996 update, and some 30% of the notes in
the text have been added, completely rewritten, replaced, or deleted.
Over 800 of the more than 20,000 notes in this edition are completely
new. This update reflects the most recent scholarship from a
conservative academic perspective, and reflects changes to the text
suggested and requested over the last 15 years by students and
academics who have studied, used, and loved the NIV Study Bible.
