The NIV Study Bible includes study notes on 21,381 verses—that's over two-thirds of the verses in the Bible. These study notes, recently updated and expanded to reflect the most current conservative Bible scholarship, give you:

• Explanations of important words and concepts (i.e. note on Lev. 11:44 about "holiness")
• Interpretation of "difficult verses" (i.e. notes on Mal. 1:3 and Luke 14:26 explain concept of "hating" your parents)
• Insight on parallels between specific people and events (i.e. note on Ex. 32:30 shows parallel between Moses and Christ as mediators)
• Historical and textual context for passages (i.e. note on 1 Cor. 8:1 explains practice of eating meat sacrificed to idols)
• Information on how one passage sheds light on another (i.e. note on Psalms 26:8 elaborates on how the presence of God's glory marked his presence in the tabernacle, in the temple and finally in Jesus Christ himself).

The NIV Study Bible notes are the handiwork of the same translation team that produced the NIV Bible text. Doctrinally, they reflect traditional evangelical theology. However, where editors were aware of significant differences of opinion on key passages or doctrines, they tried to follow an evenhanded approach by indicating these differences. For example, Revelation 20:2 reveals that the devil will be bound for a thousand years. The study note for this verse explains the three basic approaches to this thousand years or millennium: Amillennialism, Premillennialism and Postmillennialism.

The NIV Study Bible is the work of a transdenominational team of biblical scholars. All confess the authority of the Bible as God's infallible word to humanity. They have sought to clarify understanding of, develop appreciation for and provide insight into God's word.
