cindysbookcorner's review against another edition
5.0
I think it is weird to rate a Bible, yet I am doing it anyway. I had never read the Bible in Chronological order and I am glad I took the time to do so. There is so much to learn, and by reading it chronologically, you get a better idea of when events actually occurred. It is a very cohesive way of reading the Bible. I enjoyed the additional insights and pictures that were included in this version of the Bible. I recommend reading the Bible chronologically at least once in a lifetime.

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

So I got an email a few weeks ago saying that a new NIV Chronological Study Bible was coming out soon and they needed reviews for it. I may or may not have stayed up until midnight on the review-release date JUST so I could be 10,000% sure I got a copy to review.
I wasn't really sure what to expect, honestly. I've never seen a Chronological Bible before, though I am a total geek about the timeline of Biblical events.
Got the Book.
I AM FANGIRLING OVER THIS BIBLE LIKE A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL OVER JUSTIN BIEBER.
OK so firstly.
This Bible has a timeline running along the bottom of each page through the entire book. Coolest. thing. ever.
The Bible also has a chronological chart in the beginning that tells you which dynasties, periods, and kingdoms were at which point in Biblical history (insert more fangirling here).
This is quite possibly the coolest Bible I've ever had (and I am a Bible-collecting enthusiast) (no. really. I am). I wouldn't recommend using it in church during sermons. Mostly because it's all out of traditional order. You'll be flipping forever to find where everyone's at. I do strongly recommend it for personal study though. (seriously, COOLEST BIBLE EVER).
It's easy to use and it has a chart in the back to tell you which books and chapters are on what page (because you will get lost). And there is this awesome little arrow that runs along the timeline on the bottom of the pages to show you where you are in time at every book of the Bible (more fangirl squeals from me).
The parts of the Bible that overlap are laid out in side-by-side columns on each page. There are also charts spread through the pages.
The Bible is hardback so it's extremely durable. It's kinda heavy because of the whole hardback thing, but that doesn't bother me at all. The font is the standard print size for Bibles so it's completely readable.
All in all this is an incredible study tool for teachers, ministers, or seminary students. Or if you are just an enthusiastic admirer of Chronology (which is super important when studying, but that's a story for another time).
I give it two thumbs way up and a 5 out of 5 stars.
