Product Information

Full text of the world’s most popular modern English Bible—the New International Version (NIV) 2011 edition. Forty-four scholars contributed original study notes to the project, and Ken Barker, a member of the Committee on Bible Translation, served as its general editor after the original editor, Ed Palmer, passed away in 1980.

The NIV text may be quoted in any form (written, visual, electronic or audio), up to and inclusive of five hundred (500) verses without express written permission of the publisher, providing the verses do not amount to a complete book of the Bible nor do the verses quoted account for twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted. Second, our work in translation helped our study Bible team to provide notes that reflect a deeper level of linguistic nuance. For example, we’ve avoided reference to the “literal” meaning of words, since most words (in Greek and Hebrew, as well as in English) have distinct senses in various contexts and not a single basic meaning. by Kenneth L. Barker, Mark L. Strauss, Jeannine K. Brown, Craig L. Blomberg, Michael Williams, Zondervan, Since the release of the full NIV Bible in 1978, the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) and Zondervan Publishers had hoped to produce a study version that would do one thing: help the reader better understand the Bible.Permission requests for commercial use within the U.S. and Canada that exceed the above guidelines must be directed to, and approved in writing by, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Attention: Permissions Department, P.O.

The NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition, combines one of my all-time favorite translations with the critical insights of outstanding scholars (male and female). It is substantive yet accessible, thorough yet engaging. Whether you are relatively new to Christian faith and navigating new territory, a mature Christian in search of fresh insights, or a church leader committed to preparing biblically anchored messages, this resource is designed to keep on giving.” –Rev Dr Kate Coleman Founding Director of Next Leadership The NIV Study Bible, Fully Revised Edition is published by Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc., which is the parent company of Bible Gateway. Dr. Jeannine Brown: Drawing on my own study of Matthew, I was able to clarify the meaning of the Greek term teleios as used in Matthew 5:48. Jesus calls his disciples to “be perfect” like their “heavenly Father is perfect.” Because teleios doesn’t map exactly onto the English word “ perfect,” our note on this verse now provides the following clarification: Be perfect. Or “complete” and “whole” (cf. 19:20-21). Jesus sets up the high ideal of perfect or complete love—including both attitude and action (see vv. 43–47). This is God’s high standard for his people, empowered by the presence of Jesus in their midst ( 1:23; 18:20; 28:20). The desire to reflect the broad evangelical community can be seen in the notes on Revelation 20:2, where John describes Satan as being bound for a thousand years. The meaning of this millennial period is heavily debated by evangelicals, and to favor any one viewpoint would only serve to alienate part of the evangelical Christian community. As a result, the editors chose to describe the amillennial, premillennial and postmillenial views of the passage rather than focus on one particular interpretation.
