The NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible

A review of the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible (ISBN 9780310450504). This Bible features the text of the 2011 revision of the New International Version (NIV) arranged in a single text column, formatted into paragraphs, for the 66 books of the Protestant canon. The font in the text is 9.1 points. It includes 20,000 study notes printed in ~7.5 point font. The paper is reasonably opaque and show-through (ghosting) is a minor issue. The volume is bound in tan and caramel imitation leather. The binding is sewn and the Bible lies open in both Genesis and Exodus. The wide inner margin generally keeps the text out of the gutter and on the flat portion of the page. The words of Christ are in black ink.
