3.0 out of 5 stars Thompson NIV Reference Bible, January 7, 2008

By	another reader - See all my reviews

The format of this NIV Bible, the double columns, concordance, and other reference matterial make the Bible a very useful study tool. I like the indexed books, the reference words along the sides of the columns, etc. The Bible lays flat where ever it is opened. I would have rated the Bible much higher except the box the Bible came in as well as the Bible itself smelled very musty. I have left the Bible lay open at various points for about a month now and the smell is gradually dissipating. The odor makes using the Bible not as pleasant an experience as it could be. The only criticism I have of the Bible itself is that the pages are very thin and you cannot use a highlighter or pen or pencil to make notes in the margins as all markings go through to the opposite side of the page. All things considered, if I had to do it over again, I would not purchase the Bible. I also had a problem with another Bible (OT)reference book purchased from Amazon. The books were not packed very well and some of the pages of the OT book were badly bent. I will think twice before purchasing any other large Bible reference books from Amazon.

Great price on this bible. Lower than I've seen anywhere so I ordered it right away. Have not gotten to use alot yet but the references by subject make it very easy to locate scripture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best for Non-Denominationals!, September 8, 2008

By	D. Ebacher "theostudent" (Marina del Rey, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Thompson Chain NIV bible is the very best non-denominational bible as there is no denominational bias/commentary within the text. Yet, this bible permits Scripture to answer Scripture via the chain system and concordance, a very powerful and edifying tool! The quality of the book is very good and should holdup for years of study!
