Book Review
The NIV Zondervan Study Bible is a thick book. It has 2880 pages. When I received it in the mail I was actually overwhelmed for a moment because I was not expecting the large size. But as I opened The NIV Zondervan Study Bible and began to look at it I was very amazed with the content. The NIV Zondervan Study Bible is full of pictures, maps, illustrations and charts. Much more than I have seen in any other version. The study notes and cross reference system gives something to explore on every page. Each book begins with an extensive introduction and outline. It is very evident that there was much time spent in creating this study Bible. Even if the NIV isn’t your preferred version, you would benefit to have The NIV Zondervan Study Bible in your home library.
I like how they separated the articles from the main Cannon of the Bible. The free digital version is very handy to take to church because of the size of this book.
