“Since 1985, this Bible has helped millions deepen their faith and understanding of God’s Word,” says Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Zondervan Bibles (@NIVBible). “In unique ways, both the revised and newly written notes as well as the implementation of our NIV Comfort Print typeface, make this edition the easiest to read and understand. Playing even the smallest part in this massive undertaking has been extremely rewarding.”
The new 2020 edition of the NIV Study Bible is the fifth and most comprehensive revision in the popular Bible’s history. A new editorial committee was assembled to accomplish the daunting task of revising the bestselling study Bible. Led by Dr. Kenneth Barker, who served as the general editor for the 1985 edition, the editorial team included respected biblical scholars Dr. Mark Strauss, Dr. Jeannine Brown, Dr. Craig Blomberg, and Dr. Michael Williams. The committee convened for seven week-long work sessions over the course of four years to painstakingly analyze, discuss, and improve every annotation, chart, article, and essay.
“My dreams and desires for this fully revised edition are that the Lord would use it to show how relevant, practical, and applicable his Word is to the lives of people today,” says Barker, general editor, NIV Study Bible.
