The New International Version of the bible is not my first Bible of choice, though I do have a few copies. But, I love the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION HALLEY’S STUDY BIBLE.
As a #BibleGatewayPartner, I received a complimentary copy of the New International HALLEY’S STUDY BIBLE in exchange for an honest review but when I started going through the Bible I forgot to write my review! I also forgot that I was not a fan of the NIV Bible translation. (SMH)
I have owned a Halley’s Bible Dictionary for years. Unfortunately someone has borrowed it indefinitely, this Bible makes up for the loss.
I love the charts, the pictures, and the words of Yeshua marked in red. I also appreciate the ribbon that helps me mark a page, though I wish there were at least two. The font is perfect, easy on the eyes, something exclusive to Zondervan. But what I really love is the comments, notes- whatever you want to call them.
HALLEY’S STUDY BIBLE, N.I.V., is what a study Bible should be: a combination of factual data and commentary brought together to help the reader learn.
When HALLEY’S STUDY BIBLE arrived in the mail I was meditating on 1 JOHN 5:14-15
1 John 5:14-15 New International Version (NIV)
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
The comment for these particular verses read as follows:
5:14-15 according to his will. The key to knowing that God hears is to pray this way.
This is what I believe and I was glad to see that my understanding was correct.
After that I began using the HALLEY’S STUDY BIBLE for more studies, which is why I forgot to post a review.
There are informational nuggets throughout this Bible which makes it well worth owning. For example: In relation to Psalm 84 there is a nugget entitled: God’s House” I loved the picture of the “Interior of houses with painted walls in Ephesus.” (page 1614 2 John of my Bible) In the book of Revelation you will find a discussion on THE FIRST BEAST- Revelation 13:1-10.
If you are looking for a study Bible for a gift or for yourself this is a good one.
From time to time I give away the Bibles I obtain for review but this one is a keeper!
If you like this post and think others should know about this Bible please share. Thank you
