A Study Bible that Weaves God’s Story Together for an Unraveling World
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 2019– Zondervan is pleased to announce the release of the NIV Storyline Bible.
“We’re thrilled to be extending the impact of the original Biblemesh course (The Biblical Story Project), developed in partnership with Tim Keller and other notable theologians, through the publication of this unique new Bible,” says Melinda Bouma, Publisher, Zondervan Bible Group.
Journey through the interwoven story of the gospel from Genesis to Revelation. The NIV Storyline Bible features over 380 articles paired with book introductions that illuminate the interconnected nature of God’s inspired Word.
“The Biblical Story Course is rooted in the joyful conviction that there is one God, one book, and one story. It is thrilling to see material from the Biblical Story course incorporated in this Study Bible,” says Emmanuel Kampouris, Publisher of BibleMesh and retired Chairman and CEO of American Standard.“May it introduce new believers, as well as seasoned Christians, to the profound riches of the events, doctrine, and promises of the Word of God.”
“It is ideal for anyone who wants to understand how the Bible’s individual stories connect to its bigger story and to each other, as it is arranged via a cross-referencing system of articles throughout. This reveals the connections between one biblical story and a host of others, equipping the diligent student to discover infinite connections between one storyline and the rest of the Bible,” added Bouma.
The content explores major events, key characters, and the theology of the Bible over seven historical eras: Creation/Patriarchs/Moses/Israel/After Exile/Jesus/The Church.
