Clearer. Stronger. 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. 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.
