THE NEW INTERPRETER'S STUDY Bible builds upon the enormous popularity of The NEW INTERPRETER'S Bible commentary series. The commentary series offers in-depth biblical interpretation in a twelve-volume set for preachers, teachers, and students of the Bible. Scholarly insights are applied in a similar way in The NEW INTERPRETER'S STUDY Bible, to make the text accessible and useful to individuals and groups.

In the tradition of THE NEW INTERPRETER'S BIBLE, which offers in-depth biblical interpretation in a twelve-volume commentary series, THE NEW INTERPRETER'S STUDY BIBE (NISB) presents concise, scholarly comment and reflection on the meaning of Scripture for faith and life. Developed for use by preachers, teachers, and all other students of Scripture, the NISB helps make the biblical text accessible to contemporary readers, both individuals and groups.

All who read the Bible realize that it is a unique collection of writings, one that has served over the centuries to bring people to knowledge of God and of the divine will for human beings and for all creation. But it is also a somewhat foreign text for readers today, relating stories, insights, and revelation from a remote time and place, in ancient languages, written by people with customs and beliefs quite different from those of modern societies.

The NISB offers outstanding biblical scholarship in a concise and accessible format to help contemporary readers better understand Scripture. A distinguished editorial board brought together over sixty biblical scholars to create a unique Study Bible, one grounded in scholarship and intended for use in communities of faith.
