NIV, Holy Bible, Larger Print, Paperback Paperback – Large Print, January 6, 2015

Larger print is definitely larger print but make no mistake it's not large print, for this I was slightly disappointed. I'm a grandma and grandma needs large print. And the quality of paper is very low, I was afraid it would tear easy, but so far not a single tear, I even installed book tabs and they have not torn either. If I were younger and wanted to use this as my primary study Bible or as a gift I would not buy this again. But just to hang out in the bathroom or near my chair it's ok, just fine. But would I have rather spent a few dollars more for large print and better quality paper, most certainly. I will eventually take this to the MILITARY VETERANS medical appointment for my hubby and leave a sign on it free to anyone. I've had a lot of success with vet's picking up books I no longer need or have room for. I still have the desire for a LARGE PRINT NIV STUDY BIBLE for my bathroom bible or to carry to my chair. Grandma spends a lot of time going back and forth to the bathroom so I thought it would benefit my day by having a LARGE PRINT BIBLE I COULD READ. it's not my study Bible, but a Bible to divert my mind while spending so much time in the bathroom. Something positive and uplifting. Would I buy this again? Probably NOT, would I buy it to give away as gift bible? Definitely not! Am I going to keep it and use it, for the time being yes, but I do want and need a LARGE PRINT GRANNY BIBLE. IS ANYTHING REALLY WRONG WITH THIS BIBLE, ABSOLUTELY NOT! BUT I JUST DONT LOVE IT FOR ALL THE REASONS MENTIONED ABOVE. I LOVE READING THE BIBLE AND I LOVE COLLECTING BIBLES BUT I WILL EVENTUALLY GIVE THIS TO THE VA MEDICAL CLINIC. SOMEONE WILL APPRECIATE THIS BIBLE.

Bought these Bibles to donate to church - price is great and they are large print!

Great NIV Bible, easy to read print, nicely done book! Great price too.I've had KJV all my reading life, I have now bought this NIV, and a NewKJV (NKJV), also paperback, so I can use them for study. I was recently looking for a Bible without the "ye", "thee" and "thou's", etc. BUT I realize those ye, thee and thou's help you understand context, they are not obsolete, just Old English. I only have KJV, NIV, and NKJV Bibles.Something I learned by having this NIV, is that KJV has a lot of references, noted within it's scriptures, to definitions/translations (and other Bible verses and chapters). For the most part, if you read those KJV listed references into the KJV passages it's like you are reading the NIV... NIV mostly uses the words/meanings KJV version references refer to (I have not read my new NIV cover to cover yet), prettymuch.Why are Bibles versions different?KJV was written in 1611, the Old Testament translated from Hebrew, the New Testament from Greek (Textus Receptus).NIV is not a KJV rewrite. NIV was written from scratch from Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic translations in 1979, in modern English.NKJV was written in 1980-1982, to sort of modernize the KJV language, while keeping the accuracy of it... reads differently than both KJV and NIV Bibles.In all three of these, the writers wanted to be as accurate to the original scriptures as possible. Hebrew word meanings will vary based on the context of the passage. The context indicates what the word should mean.Sometimes, as happens, there was no translation word to match an original word so writers tried to relay the meaning instead.Sometimes old Hebrew words were translated differently by different biblical translators. Easy example, did Jesus die on the "cross" or a "stake"? Dont let these things divide us. We know that He died for our sins nailed to wood.Or how about "God created the heaven and the..." vs. "God created the heavens and the..." ..well which is it? Is there more than one Pearly Gate Heaven? Was "heavens" referring to earth's atmospheres or "heaven" the whole atmosphere as a single unit (Heaven is not literally floating around in our galaxy)? Dont get hung up on one letter.Interpretational variances, or even obvious copy errors by humans (the number "22" written as "42" in some ancient texts, but not all of them - the person in context being actually 22 when became a king), dont change the inerrancy of Gods word.Likewise, Matthew, Mark, and Luke are not three different stories that sound similar. Once you understand why they seem different you realize they aren't. Like, who "begat" Joseph, husband of Mary? Joseph's biological father, or Mary's? Joseph's, of course. He was last male of his family line so he ends up taking Mary's maiden name, as was tradition. There is no conflict when you know what blood line each gospel's author is referring to. If you need more help, there are books that explain "all" the "conflicts" in Bible scripture.
