NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition (Study Deeply. Believe Wholeheartedly.), Personal Size, Paperback, Red Letter, Comfort Print

Great for new Bible readers

Easy to read and understand love the maps and pictures to go along with the bible

Really beautiful NIV. Vast improvement since 1987! I like the archaeology and biblical theology notes and articles in this version, as well as the great concordance and cross references. Color printing is great. I was skeptical that I needed another study Bible, but wow was I wrong, this product is unique. Even the maps at the back are more helpful than other maps I have. The paper quality for the map pages is normal paper so it's easy to flip pages, and the content for the maps is innovative, so I'm learning a lot just from looking at maps. This is a sight for the eyes, a visual product, colorful and attractive, nice fonts, hard to put down. I now have two of them so I do not have to lug it around. This has become my go to study Bible over every other product. The only two changes I would love but are not practical are to have a single text block layout like the NIV Biblical Theology SB and to print an Anglican canon version to include the apocrypha for us students of the LXX who cross reference the NT with so many quotations from the apocrypha. The Zondervan Cultural Backgrounds SB does this very well.

I bought 10 of these for a prison ministry. The paperback cover is required for jails. The font is 7.5, a little small for me personally, but tolerable for a younger man. The study notes are great.

My son’s love it

I've never written a bad review, but I am making an exception here. How this company gets away with out and out lying and unethical terminology is beyond me, and has tainted my view of Amazon for letting it stay on it's website. Not only is the cover different, but the print is so tiny that I cannot read it even with my glasses on. This is NOT any kind of study bible and it is an insult to call it one. I purchased tab headings, but the written words are so close to the edge of the book that they couldn't be used. No option is given my Amazon for a UPS pickup which would have appeased me. I have to hunt for a UPS drop off. Very inconvenient. If I could give zero stars, I would have.

Great study bible. I took a star away because I bought it in new and I received it with the first page ripped out.

Obviously the world's most influential book, but with all manner of sidebars that help explain and illuminate these ancient texts.
