NIV, Integrated Study Bible, Hardcover: A New Chronological Approach for Exploring Scripture

Chronological integrated with an illuminating harmony of the scripture. Read the Bible in real time with this Bible set in an innovative new chronological and harmony based format. Explore Scripture through this integrated approach and see the Bible unfold in a new way as the events of the Bible are set in parallel. Its more than just a chronological Bible its also a harmony of the Bible. Passages of Scripture and individual events are arranged in their sequential order. And when there are multiple versions of an event these stories are told side-by-side connecting the dots to open up deeper understanding as you read the different accounts together. This Bible allows you to see the beautiful and intricate interconnectedness of the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation in pure harmony. Set in a chronologically-based format this Bible will open your eyes to the way that the Bible reflects upon itself throughout its pages. For instance you can read Matthew Mark Luke and Johns telling of Jesus feeding the 5 000---presented in four columns right next to each other. When you read Davids story about hiding from Saul in the wilderness on the same page youll read the psalm he wrote as he lay waiting wondering when God would deliver him. Features include: The entire text of the NIV translation with the order of events arranged chronologically Parallel passages (or passages that are related) are arranged side-by-side in columns. Sectional introductions on chronology and dating (e.g. Creation Through the Patriarchs Exodus to Conquest) Some examples: 2-column: David in the cave (1 Samuel 22:15 Psalm 142 ) 3-column: Peters confession (Mt 16:1323 Mk 8:2733 Lk 9:1822) 4-column: Feeding 5 000 (Mt 14:1321 Mk 6:3244 Lk 9:1017 Jn 6:113) General Editor:JOHN R.
