Synopsis
Discover new dimensions of insight with a behind-the-scenes tour of the ancient world You've heard many Bible stories hundreds of times, but how many details are you missing? Sometimes a little context is all you need to discover the rich meaning behind even the most familiar stories of Scripture. That's what the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible provides. Every page of this NIV Bible is packed with expert insight into the customs, culture, and literature of biblical times. These fascinating explanations will serve to clarify your study of the Scriptures, reinforcing your confidence and bringing difficult passages of Scripture into sharp focus. The Bible was originally written to an ancient people removed from us by thousands of years and thousands of miles. The Scriptures include subtle culturally based nuances, undertones, and references to ancient events, literature and customs that were intuitively understood by those who first heard the texts read. For us to truly understand the Scriptures as they did, we need a window into their world and language. The NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, with notes from Dr. John H. Walton (Wheaton College) in the Old Testament and Dr. Craig S. Keener (Asbury Theological Seminary) in the New Testament, brings the ancient world of Scripture to life for modern readers. Features: Complete text of the accurate, readable, and clear New International Version (NIV) 2017 ECPA Bible of the Year Recipient Targeted book introductions explain the context in which each book of the Bible was written Insightful and informative verse-by-verse study notes reveal new dimensions of insight to even the most familiar passages Key Old Testament (Hebrew) and New Testament terms are explained and expanded upon in two helpful reference features Over 300 in-depth articles on key contextual topics 375 full-color photos, illustrations, and images from around the world Dozens of charts, maps, and diagrams in vivid color Words of Jesus in red Cross references, a concordance, indexes and other helps for Bible study 8.9-point type size, "How I wish someone had put a book like this into my hands 50 years ago." - N.T.

  • Top favorable review

    Filled with great in-depth footnote material that is very education and appreciated

    The only thing I wish this BIble had were tabs for each of the books of the Bible as well as ribbon page holders. Other than those items, which I prefer in every Bible I have but can be difficult to come by, I love this heavily foot-noted and educational Bible.

  • Great contextual resource

    The Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible was recommended by a friend. I got it for my husband as a gift, thinking that if he didn't like it, I probably would, so it was a safe bet. My husband won't put it down! He loves how it provides information on all the details that give significance to the scripture based on the context of the culture. He says, "It's an awesome resource to immerse yourself in 1st century culture and is very helpful to see the world that the Bible was written in." I can't wait to read it too!

  • Filled with fun facts

    Love sharing pertinent facts with people when discussing scriptures. What an age we live in when we can seriously dwell into the history and archeological finds of the bible while gaining ground in our understanding. The more we learn, the more grounded we become.
