Endorsements
▼▲To say that the NIV Study Bible has been my companion would be an understatement. This has been my primary Bible for over two decades. It has nine sticky notes that take me to my favorite charts. The cross referencing and notes have led me on many adventures and discoveries of fresh truths. I have lugged it all over the world with me and spilled a few cups of coffee on its pages. Many sermons, books, articles and personal notes have been written and delivered with the accompaniment of my good friend. When I learned that there is a new and improved edition coming out it seemed almost a bit unbelievable, but count me in.
---Pastor Randy Frazee
Author and Architect of The Story & Believe
"For a very long time my favorite translation of the New Testament has been the NIV in its various editions, and now we have an updated and revised version of the NIV Study Bible with old notes revised and some new additional notes and articles as well. This brings an essential 20th century tool for pastors and teachers into the 21st century, giving an old classic new life. Highly recommended."
---Dr. Ben Witherington, III
Amos Professor of NT for Doctoral Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary
"It is difficult for students in many countries to have access to the latest research on the study of the Old and New Testaments, and it is even harder for people in ministry to devote the time needed to acquire all this background information that would help illuminate the text. This new edition offers invaluable assistance to the global church by making the hard work of scholars, indeed, their discoveries of many years of research, trickle down to our college desks and church pulpits."

I believe such a beautiful and meticulously produced resource will inspire Christians to read their Bible moreand that is good news."

"I am impressed by this fully revised edition of the NIV Study Bible. Many helpful features are included to aid the reader from its beautiful design to the historical, archeological, and cultural context provided, as well as the teaching on literary styles in the text and how they factor in reading. I love seeing all the typology pointed out in the notes. Another feature I like is that the contributors show different interpretations of a text and don't lean one way or the other. This is my new go-to study bible to recommend to others. Very nicely done. "

Colorful maps, helpful tables, and photography make the reader feel like they are visiting the places where Abraham first encountered God, where Moses led Gods people out of Egypt, where Jesus walked with his disciples, and Paul preached the Gospel. Through all this, the NIV Study Bible gives opportunities for Christians to dig deeper into Gods Word with new avenues to meet God and to be transformed in the journey."

This fully revised edition has undergone a meticulous process to refine and make it even more user friendly.

"These excellent study notes make the world of scholarship easily accessible, with carefully balanced summaries that are fair to both sides of any theological divides."
---Rev. Dr. David Instone-Brewer
Senior Research Fellow in Rabbinics and the New Testament, Tyndale House
"What a treasure this new study Bible is! The concise study notes are well chosen, drawing attention to important themes and interconnections. Difficult texts are explained clearly and conservatively; controversial issues are discussed even-handedly. Even more valuable, I believe, are the numerous notes and articles which explain the distinctive history and literature we encounter in Scripture. The Bible is the product of ancient cultures, and understanding those cultures and their literary conventions not only enriches our understanding of the text, but equips us to defend the Bible against contemporary challenges to its truthfulness. As the theological articles demonstrate, these human words add up to one, perfect, divine message, a message which spans history and culminates in the Word become flesh. Above all, may this Bible enable its readers to know and love the Lord Jesus more deeply."
---Dr. Andrew Shead
Head of Old Testament, Moore Theological College
"The NIV Study Bible was my go to Bible for all my queries since the time it was published. Ever since, it has been the Bible that has nurtured my faith and answered my queries. I was amazed at the wealth of information that was readily accessible in it. I continue to use it for teaching and preaching from the Word. I liked it so much that I gifted many copies to my family and friends and continue to encourage others to read it."
---Rev. Dr. Paul Swarup
Presbyter in Charge of the Cathedral Church of the Redemption, Diocese of Delhi, of the Church of North India
"The NIV is my go-to translation, and the NIV Study Bible the trusted, one-volume resource I have eagerly recommend to anyone looking for a great tool to study the Bible."
