A new study Bible that emphasizes in its reference commentary notes the central themes of grace and truth throughout Scripture is now published by Zondervan. The NIV Grace and Truth Study Bible (Zondervan, 2021) is the first study Bible to be included in Zondervan’s Premier Collection Bibles, which feature the highest Bible craftmanship with hand-bound goatskin covers, elegant art-gilt page edges, premium European paper, and three double-sided satin ribbon markers. In addition to the NIV editions in English, Vida Publishing has simultaneously released this Bible in Spanish as the NBLA Biblia de Estudio Gracia y Verdad (Vida, 2021).
Bible Gateway interviewed Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr. (@albertmohler), the general editor of the NIV Grace and Truth Study Bible (website).
How did a study Bible help you early in your Christian faith?
Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr.: I was a teenager when I first received a study Bible, and it was like having the lights turned up in a room. All of a sudden, I wasn’t just sitting there trying to figure out what the tabernacle was, but I had a note in the Bible that explained the tabernacle to me. That study Bible helped me follow scriptural arguments and answer questions—all in such a way that I never confused the notes about the Word of God with the Word of God itself. It fueled my appetite for Scripture, because there was an even greater exhilaration of reading the Word of God. I’ve been a huge encourager about study Bibles ever since I first started the serious study of Scripture.
