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.
