Moo While I disagree with minor points in some of these articles, I find myself agreeing with a much higher percentage of what is said here than with what is said in most systematic theologies.

That is the benefit of staying closer to the language of Scripture itself. I have a niggling question about the place of such essays in a study Bible how many readers will really find and benefit from this content in their specific moments of exegetical need? I think it lives up to this title. On the central matters of the gospel, this study Bible is solid. And, though it is generally Calvinistic throughout, it does not emphasize this interpretive lens in a way that overshadows the biblical message itself.

These study Bibles hold similar positions here: Both suggest this is a general term that so they imply leaves the door open for theistic evolution. Both study Bibles underscore at Matthew 5: Both study Bibles state clearly that homosexual relations are sinful.

In all the gender texts I survey, the NIVZSB and ESVSB adopt nearly the same position—gender role difference in marriage and church are timeless principles, men are called to authoritative and loving leadership in home and church while women are called to submit, and women may not be overseers but may perhaps be non-teaching deacons. The NIVZSB does apparently leave the door open for women to teach men in non-authoritative positions in the church, but otherwise the differences between the study Bibles are differences of tone more than position, with the ESVSB giving a more rigorous defense of the position shared by both.

Nonresistance and Relationship to Government: This brief interpretation leaves the door open for Christians to use deadly force in other circumstances, though the NIVZSB does not explicitly state this. At Romans 9 comments are similar. At Ephesians 1 both are strongly Calvinistic. At 1 Timothy 2: At 1 John 2: These study Bibles take a similar stance on this topic.

However, it seems a little more open to seeing Sunday worship as being normative see description of the practice of the early church at 1 Cor. Israel and the Church: Both are inconsistent on this topic. Both agree that at 1 Peter 1: However, both Bibles perhaps especially the ESVSB also suggest multiple times that seeing a future role for an ethnic Israel is a legitimate interpretative approach. My general sense is that the NIVZSB is slightly more careful than the ESVSB to avoid offending its readers—or, to state things more positively, that it is aiming to please a slightly larger readership.

On the one hand it is equally careful to adhere to the basic evangelical commitments things such as traditional authorship and the historical reliability of Scripture , while also feeling equally free to adopt recent approaches to synthesizing the Bible and science no firm stance on the days of Genesis or the question of evolution. On the other hand, it seems slower to affirm some of the more fundamentalist ideas of evangelicalism things such as capital punishment or a special plan for the future of ethnic Israel , it feels slightly more cautious as it affirms some points of evangelical doctrinal dispute inability of true believers to fall from the faith, distinct gender roles in the church , and it is sometimes slower to pick sides at all regarding what the text means for today the Christian and the military.

But such differences are comparatively minor when set within the widely diverse translations and study Bibles currently on the market. I am very happy to recommend both for your judicious use.

This did not affect my opinion. Morledge on March 13, Unfortunately, the eBook version of the study Bible for Kindle missed a great opportunity. At least when using the Kindle Cloud Reader, the navigation is great where things are hyperlinked, such as with the study notes, but when it comes to the cross references, not all of the cross references are bi-directional.

So you can follow a cross reference, but then you can not easily get back to where you started from. This is frustrating, and it takes away from an otherwise valuable resource. Also, a number of the maps are either displayed sideways, or in unhelpful chunks split across several pages. This is really annoying.

By Kerry Lee on October 8, With contributions from some of the most important conservative biblical scholars in the English-speaking world, an enormous number of annotations, well written articles and book introductions, and a clean, classic design, this study Bible is one of the best on the market.

Books by Jerome Goodwin (Author of 00 - Master Index - Digital Concordance - Book 00)

For the present let us just say that biblical theology is the discovery of inherent theological themes in the Bible — rather than the imposition of a foreign theological framework on the Bible — and the analysis of the way the Bible develops those themes from start to finish. This focus can be clearly seen in the introductions to the sections and individual books of the Bible. Though these themes derive from the text of the book or section under consideration, what you see as you read through the introductions is that these themes are not unique to a single section but recur over and over.

This shift in authorship reveals the more marked pastoral intent for these articles as well as the editorial conviction that biblical theology is not something of relevance purely or even primarily for the academy. Rather, biblical theology in general — and this study Bible in particular — is really all about how the tremendous variety of theological voices within the Bible remain coherent and dynamically relevant for every age. Yet it is not really modernist. Rather, it strikes me as classic, calm, and conservative. The choice of single-column format for the biblical text has a kind of domino effect.

Single-column format, while trendy and useful in allowing especially poetic sections to have meaningful line breaks, takes up a great deal more space than the more traditional two-column format, especially in those poetic sections. What this does is inflate the size of the Bible. Having worked for years in Christian retail, I can tell you that without exception a single-column Bible uses more pages than a two-column Bible. This results in bigger, bulkier Bibles that are more expensive to produce and harder for people to carry around, especially elderly women.

To accommodate this to a degree, the size of the type in the NIV Zondervan Study Bible has been reduced to what feels like an unusually small size. The smaller type makes this Bible a lot less appealing to elderly people again who more and more are opting for large print Bibles when there is an option.

There is a large print version of this Bible, but to be honest its large print is not large enough to really consider it a large print Bible. Despite some questionable type-setting decisions that limit the usefulness of this Bible for an aging Christian population, the NIV Zondervan Study Bible is one of the best and most comprehensive study Bibles currently on the market. Its focus on biblical theology pays off in a big way. I highly recommend it.

    You can navigate directly to any chapter of any book. The navigation is standard, and similar to other Kindle study bibles that I use. Also, it is easy to switch back and forth between bible verses and the commentary for each particular bible verse. By Scott Shields on March 11, After reading multiple bad reviews on E book version, I have come to the conclusion that either Zondervan did an overhaul of the e book or the bad reviews are people who don't know how to navigate through it.

    It is just fine, but you just simply read the instructions that are basic to the e book and understand how your device works, mine is the Amazon kindle fire tablet, and it works fine. I already have the hardcover book and the e book version is great, because of no bulky book to carry around. By Ely Kid on May 14, First, a few thoughts on how I begin my mornings. I read several spiritual reflections, I have several things I pray for, and I read several section of scripture.

    I absolutely love the Amazon Kindle App. Before I added all these spiritual works to my Tablet, I would have six or seven books piled around me. Now, I can do a reading, close the book, open up another one, and so on. Also when traveling and I have a few hours to kill in the airport, it is handy to have everything on my Tablet.

    How many books can you travel with--one carry on, and one in the suitcase? With my Tablet, I can carry 50 or so books in a 10 inch, quarter inch thick square. My study bible was the last book I recently added to my Kindle library. This review focuses on the e edition of my study bible. The NIV is my prefered bible translation.

    For those of you who use a print version of a study bible, please note that the e editions are more clunky to use. With a print version, the footnotes, maps, bible references are normally on the same or next page. It is fairly easy to move throughout the pages following additional footnotes and bible references. Not so with e editions of these study bibles. I found the e edition of the Life Application Study Bible to be so clunky as to be too frustrating to bother using.

    It still is not as functional to use as the print version. However, it is functional enough to be usable. That is why I gave my review four stars and not five. Let me drill down with a few more specifics. When I use a study bible, 95 percent of how I use one is to read the text, check out a map, or a shot of commentary, or a footnote. It opens it up as an insert on the page. The princes of the tribes. The number of every tribe. The Levites are exempted for the service of Yahweh.
