NIV Zondervan Study Bible

Let me start by saying that the NIV Zondervan Study Bible is not a bible that you will want to haul back and forth to church with you. Nearly 300 pages and close to 5 pounds it will be better used at you desk at home. That being said I absolutely love this study bible. I have reviewed and used several study bibles over the years and this one has really set a new standard. The commentary is probably the most exhaustive of any I have seen and the typeface is beautiful and very easy to read. This bible is full of maps, timelines and other useful tools that are all presented in full color. Several people have commented on the actual commentary contained in the book, I found it to be fair to the text I did not agree with everything I read but that is to be expected. The book introductions are the best I’ve read of any study bible, also the theological articles are concise and well written. I have and will continue to use this bible for my study bible at home simply, again because the size does not lend itself to be carried easily.
