A great study Bible!,
By rnorton828 "rnorton828" (Riverbend, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zondervan NIV Study Bible, Personal Size (Paperback)
I own and read Bibles of several different versions, such as the New Living Translation, New Century Version and the King James and New King James versions. But the New International Version has been my personal favorite for nearly twenty years. The NIV Bible is one of, if not, the easiest translation to understand, and I believe it is perhaps the best study Bible available today. This Zondervan NIV Study Bible has some great study helps, including a table of biblical weights and measures, an index to subjects covered in the Bible, lots of color maps with an index to those and, of course, a concordance. Also included are timelines following the chronologies of Old and New Testament events. This is a great study Bible which I would gladly recommend to any Christian, or to any non-Christian seeking answers to his/her questions.

Excellent Study Bible! - Your "Secret Decoder Ring",
By A Customer
This review is from: Zondervan NIV Study Bible, Personal Size (Paperback)
----------------------------------------------------Excellent Study Bible! - Your "Secret Decoder Ring" ---------------------------------------------------- The NIV translation is one easiest Bibles to understand at a grade reading level of 7.8. With the added study Bible features, this becomes an excellent resource for adults or for a confirmation class. Here is what you will like: @ Did you even wonder what Jesus was referring to when he would say, "Did you never read in the Scriptures..." The 100,000 footnotes will show you exactly what scripture is being referenced! @ The 20,000 study notes give you deeper understanding and historical context. They stick to the facts without making political statements. @ Numerous charts, tables, maps, diagrams, and timelines help explain context and clarify key points. @ The Concordance and Subject Guide will help you find passages. The NIV Study Bible is the Bible that our church gives to all 6th graders. As one student said, "This Bible is like a secret decoder ring." We also use it for our adult Bible studies. Enjoy! - Craig
