Customer Reviews for Zondervan The Books of the Bible, NIV
Zondervan The Books of the Bible, NIV
Return to the Bible as it was before chapters and verses. The Books of the Bible, NIV is a revolutionary new presentation of Scripture that strips away centuries of artificial formatting, leaving behind nothing but pure Bible text. The result is a hardcover Bible unlike any other available today—and more like the original Scriptures.
The Bible isn't a single book. It's a collection of many books that were written, preserved and gathered together so that they could be shared with new generations of readers. The Bible is an invitation to you to first view the world in a new way, and then to become an agent of the world's renewal. The Books of the Bible, NIV helps you have a more meaningful encounter with the sacred writings and to read with more understanding, without centuries of added formatting, so that you can take your place more readily within this story of new creation.
Features
- Chapter and verse numbers have been removed from the text
- The books are presented according to the internal divisions that we believe their authors have indicated
- A single-column setting is used to present the text more clearly and naturally, and to avoid disrupting the intended line breaks in poetry
- Footnotes, section headings and any other additional materials have been removed from the pages of the sacred text
- Individual books that later tradition divided into two or more parts are put back together again.
- The books are arranged in an order that helps you understand the Bible more completely

I love the TBOTB project, the book ordering and the uncluttering of the text. What pleasantly surprised me about this new Zondervan edition is just how nicely they've executed this. Compared to the original Biblica's paperbacks, this is superior in every way. The font is more classic and readable. The single column is great, with not too many words per line which is a problem in many single-column bibles. These are well sewn, and open very nicely. But best of all, the paper is top-notch. Wonderful feel and quite opaque for as super-thin as it is...1000 sheets (2000 pages) in just 1-1/8 inch thick text block. I'm not crazy about TruTone and would prefer a leather or even bonded leather option, but it's what's inside that counts and Zondervan's hit a home run with this Bible.

I knew this edition of the Bible was in the works and I awaited its publication eagerly. It is a pleasure to hear/read the word of God anew through this edition without chapter and verse. The text makes more sense as the divisions reveal the authors' intention. It also helps the reader see repeated words and phrases the author used, and the movement to new ideas or subjects. The brief introductions to the individual books are excellent. Sometimes it takes a little effort not to "see" the chapters and verses in your mind, especially for well known passages. But you will quicky get passed this and enjoy this new (and old!) way of reading scripture.
