NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition, Bonded Leather, Black, Red Letter, Comfort Print: New International Version, Study Bible, Black, Bonded Leather, Red Letter, Comfort Print

I've purchased various Bibles to have different study Bibles as well as translations. This is an updated version of an earlier version NIV study Bible. There is a notable difference in the study notes and images. This Bible is full of color. It is a red letter edition. The NIV translation is in the middle of the translation spectrum as a thought for thought translation. It seems the words of Jesus are similar/same across the NASB, ESV and NIV translations. This is a Zondervan Bible. I also own a Zondervan NASB Bible which seems to have fewer options in Study and journaling Bibles. Ont he translation specturm is the best word for word translation. The Zondervan NASB and and Zondervan NIV study notes are very similar with broader or additional notes in the NIV version. This also applies to the book summaries and notes at the beginning of the chapters. Most to all of the notes in the Zondervan NASB Bible are in the NIV. This NIV has more notes overall. This is a dual column Bible. The Bible is more in paragraph form rather than by verse (i.e. verses aren't broken out with left justified verse numbers). The verses are in paragraph and superscript at the beginning. it may, for some, require a little more effort to locate a verse and may be fine for others. The size and weight is average. The cover is black and nice look and feel. It has two ribbon book markers inside in two colors. The font size is larger than some Bibles at 9 point. The pages are thin as are the case of most Bibles but not as thin as some in my Bible library. If you're looking for a nice study Bible and like an easy to read translation before moving to the ESV or NASB translation this is a good Bible to have. It also compliments other translations also help reveal God's word for those delving into deep studies. Nice Bible and at a average to nice price.

Beautiful and rich with many additional texts, this Bible is a real gem.

It's lovely!!

Superb quality - Praise God always

I've read several standards of Bibles made, but the New International Version by Zondervan is the most comprehensive, complete, and the easiest I've ever read as a study source. Most of all it asks the reader questions that build faith & understanding in a way that is credibly relatable in this age. If your emphasis is to go deep in your understanding of faith in God and in HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, you just might want to give this version a try!
