NIV INtegrated Study Bible and chronlogical by Thomas Nelson Publishers



I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for writing a review. I enjoyed the chronological approach as it makes it easier to understand what is going on when the books are written. I got a more life like feeling; as if I were there watching the events happen first hand, like I was remembering something that I had seen happen, not like I was reading a book. The NIV language is easier to understand than the older King James editions. This book brings the Bible to life. It gives it a more complete picture of what was happening in the towns and villages and big cities when the events unfolded and came to life. I enjoyed reading Daniel and feel like I BETER CAN SEE HOW DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS LIVED. I got the feeling like I was there and the book of Daniel made more sense to me. It will open you eyes because it is easier to understand what was going on when the books were written.  Passages of Scripture arranged in their sequential order, but so also are individual events, and includes multiple interpretations. This edition shows the Bible unfolding in a new way as the landmark events are set in parallel. It’s more than just a chronological Bible—not only are passages of Scripture arranged in their sequential order, but so also are individual events. And multiple interpretations allow for deeper revelations. For instance, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John’s telling of Jesus feeding the 5,000—presented in four columns right next to each other—take on a new life. David’s story about hiding from Saul in the wilderness is paired with the relevant psalms. Features include: •The entire text of the NIV translation with the order of events arranged chronologically •General and sectional (e.g., Pentateuch, History, Prophets, Gospels) introductions on chronology and dating, including comparative charts of major systems and schemes •Brief commentary in the form of transitions to help navigate the chronology
