Abstract

" The New International Version Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible (NIVCBSB) continues this tradition, seeking to “increase [the] understanding of the cultural nuances behind the text of God’s Word” (p. iii). Like other study Bibles, the NIVCBSB includes an introductory section for each biblical book. Unlike other study Bibles, it focuses less on message or theology and more on historical and literary settings."
