Italian Duo-Tone™, Black Cherry/Dark Caramel

Using a journalist’s precision in gathering and presenting evidence, The Case for Christ Study Bible is an engaging, informative resource that motivates seekers and skeptics—as well as long-time Christians—to investigate for themselves the Bible’s most compelling claims: the existence of a compassionate God and the promise of eternal life through His Son, Jesus.

Drawn from Lee Strobel’s own experiences as a former atheist engaged in a thorough search for truth, the articles and notes throughout The Case for Christ Study Bible provide a solid explanation of where the historical and scientific evidence point—toward the existence of a compassionate Creator God and his Son, Jesus, the Savior.
 
The Case for Christ Study Bible features more than 500 notes and articles, including:
• The Case for a Creator: highlighting the wonders of creation and demonstrating how the scientific evidence supports belief in an all-powerful Creator.
 • The Case for the Bible: exploring the character of the Bible, the extra-biblical evidence that corroborates scripture, and apparent contradictions.
 • The Case for Christ: investigating Jesus’ claims, Messianic identity, deity, and resurrection.

With thoroughly revised study notes! In the years since the 1985 publication of the first Zondervan NIV Study Bible edition, ongoing discoveries in archaeology, linguistics, biblical history, and other disciplines have suggested the need to revise the notes. Drawing on the most current scholarship, the world-class team who first created the study notes now present comprehensive revisions and additions that bring the notes thoroughly up to date. With all the changes to the study notes, however, one thing has remained unchanged - the time-tested, trusted text of the NIV itself.

Unmatched in any other study Bible, these notes place at your fingertips a treasury of instant commentary from today's top evangelical scholars. Icons highlight notes of special interest in the areas of character study, archaeology, and personal application. Simply put, you won't find study notes as complete, up-to-date, helpful, and easy to use anywhere else. The New International Version (NIV) is today's most read and most trusted English Bible translation.

Since its release in 1973, the NIV has sold over 150 million copies. The goal of the NIV translation team was to produce an accurate translation and one that would have clarity and literary quality and so prove suitable for public and private reading, teaching, preaching, memorizing and liturgical use. Today the NIV is accepted by more denominations than any other translation and is supported by a library of reference resources that is unmatched by any other translation.

Special Features:

• NIV text remains unchanged, the most read, most trusted English-language translation.
• Over 20,000 study notes. NIV translators thoroughly revised and expanded the award-winning study notes, and added over 800 new notes.
