Simply put, you won’t find study notes as complete, up-to-date, helpful, and easy to use anywhere else. And the benefits build from there.

Almost 3,000 Personal Application icons. Introductions and outlines provide valuable background information for each book of the Bible. In-text maps, charts, diagrams, and illustrations right where you want them—five of which are completely new. 16 pages of full-color maps plus timelines and presentation page. Words of Christ in red letter. NIV concordance plus subject and study notes indexes. Clearer. Stonger. Better. Referred to daily by millions of pastors, students, church leaders, and other Bible readers around the world, the renowned Zondervan NIV Study Bible notes are the crown jewel of the world’s best-selling study Bible. These over-20,000 notes are the handiwork of the same translation team that produced this Bible’s text, the New International Version. The same exacting, conservative scholarship that brought you today’s most read, most trusted Bible translation went into creating the most celebrated, widely used Bible study notes in existence. Why improve on what’s already outstanding? Because now it can be made even better. In the years since the 1985 publication of the first Zondervan NIV Study Bible edition, ongoing discoveries in archaeology, linguistics, biblical history, and other disciplines have suggested the need to revise the notes. Drawing on the most current scholarship, the world-class team who first created the study notes now present comprehensive revisions and additions that bring the notes thoroughly up to date. With all the changes to the study notes, however, one thing has remained unchanged—the time-tested, trusted text of the NIV itself. You’ll be pleased with the results. If you found the original notes indispensable in clarifying obscure Bible passages and shedding light on the meaning and significance of Scripture, you’ll love how these revised and expanded notes add even greater depth to your study of God’s Word. The New International Version (NIV) is today’s most read and most trusted English Bible translation. The goal of the NIV translation team was to produce an accurate translation and one that would have clarity and literary quality and so prove suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing, and liturgical use. Today the NIV is accepted by more denominations than any other translation and is supported by a library of reference resources that is unmatched by any other translation. Over the last five years, the editors of the NIV study Bible have painstakingly reviewed, revised, and rewritten the notes of the classic, best-selling NIV Study Bible. Over 80 percent of the notes have been revised and adapted in some way from the 1996 update, and some 30% of the notes in the text have been added, completely rewritten, replaced, or deleted. Over 800 of the more than 20,000 notes in this edition are completely new. This update reflects the most recent scholarship from a conservative academic perspective, and reflects changes to the text suggested and requested over the last 15 years by students and academics who have studied, used, and loved the NIV Study Bible.

The Best in bibles
I brought this bible along with the Amplified Bible, NLT Study Bible and one other I cannot remember at the moment and I must say this is THE best bible I have in my possession right now.
I love how the books of the Old (Hebrew bible) and New Testament are listed in the Table of Contents. For those of you with a thirst for bible history, you will love the maps, colored graphs of the Old & New Testament and the best thing of all before each book this gem list the theme of that book, author, date, historical setting and an outline of events in that books. What more can you ask for in a bible?
This bible does not end at Revelations, beyond that book is a table of weights and measures three different indexes, and a Concordance. If you are in the market for a new bible make this the one for you.

Best of the best.
I found the NIV Study Bible (Large Print) to be the best Bible I have ever read. I own almost every modern translation. This translation and writing style are excellent and the large print makes for easy reading of both the text and study notes. No other Bible packs in more study helps than this one. I would recommend thumb tabs and black letter if it is available.
Excellent Bible
I have this Bible and love it! The study notes are great. The large print is very easy to read. I have no complaints about this Bible at all. It is indexed which is wonderful, gold leafed pages. Absolutely great for Bible study. It has helped me so very much.
