The NIV integrated study bible “written”/edited by John R.
Kohlenberger III, published by Zondervan is a chronologically ordered study
bible to help the reader understand where all the parts of the bible fall in a
timeline. The old testament is divided
into 5 sections; creation through the patriarchs, exodus to conquest, conquest
through united kingdom, divided kingdom to exile, and return to the land. The New Testament is divided into two
sections; the life of Jesus and the early church.
I really enjoy the setup of this study bible. The editor did an amazing job of easily
setting out the writings in order; showing parallel stories recorded in
multiple books, showing references in place of quoted scripture from Old
Testament in the New Testament, etc. One
of my favorite additions is the timeline on the bottom of each page showing the
historical section the passages are from overall timeline.
I am really looking forward to read more of this as a study
bible to better understand how the individual books of the bible fit together
in a cohesive timeline of God’s amazing story.
This book is a great addition to my devotional library.
Note: I was given a copy of this book for free to read and
review. The opinions above are my own
and I was not compensated for a positive review.
