 Great resource to your biblical library September 17, 2007
" Anti Microchip " (Desolation America)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Keep in mind that this review is written by a man who doesn't care for the NIV translation. However, I found that: the history, archaeological facts, maps, archaeological photographs (almost 500), NIV translation, and cultural background make this a logical addition to my resource library. The book I have comes with a CD that includes the NIV translation, photographs and maps (I haven't looked at it yet). But even if this bible didn't come with a CD it would be well worth the money I paid for it. I wouldn't say it's as comprehensive as: a bible handbook, manners and customs reference, bible atlas, or concordance. However, it does have aspects of those resources in one volume. I feel this is a solid reference text that should be supported with other reference materials. And if your partial to the NIV translation this is solid choice for a study bible in my humble opinion. God Bless You.
Notes on the translation October 9, 2006

I have a little insight on the translation picked. the NIV really wasn't the first choice, but was rather a compromise between the editors and the major donors for the project. NIV was a happy medium for those involved, and is generally more accessible to the mainstream biblical reader, but I know the editors wanted a "better" translation.
An enjoyable and useful Bible June 25, 2006

I wanted this Bible from the moment I first saw it and I finally bought it. I really enjoy the archaeological insights and the illustrations that help me to get a picture of the area at the time, or what it might have looked like. I don't know if I'll ever get to the Holy Land, but the pictures included help me feel closer. This Bible has been very well researched and I am only begining to discover everything in it. What's more, it's made me more eager to read the Bible!
I don't mind the small text. If a larger font was used, the Bible would be much larger! I also haven't really noticed an odour. To me, it just smells like a new book.
"No-Doze" for Bible Study! July 13, 2006
Mariah Giles (Central Virginia)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful Bible version! Every page has a truly fascinating and enlightening article or reference to what modern archeology and anthropology can tell us about the history being made by the characters and events in the Bible.
The independent confirmation of Biblical events is a treat and very useful for discussion with non-Believers.
You not only won't be bored or doze off during your Bible Study time - you won't be able to put it down!
Great Historical Culture Book February 19, 2007
K. Wagner (Copperas Cove, TX USA)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
A wonderful edition to add to one's Biblical Library. It gives not only the Culture of the ancient Hebrews but also the culture of those around them. The print is very small for the notes and articles, Many people will need something like a magnifying bookmark to keep from getting headaches. It does have the look of a history textbook and could be used for a survey of the Bible class. I do wish it had been published in the King James Version, then it could also be used for a Bible as Lit class.
