The concept of the Archaeological Study Bible is a unique one. Our understanding of Biblical times, places, and customs have been greatly advanced (especially in the last century) by the work of archaeologists. It seems natural to have a study Bible that provides the reader insight into the archaeological discoveries that directly relate to Biblical accounts. While the concept is good, and while this study Bible has many solid and interesting insights, the product is not yet refined.The Bible is the account of God's activity in the world from its creation through its redemption, through its end, to the establishment of the New Heavens and the New Earth. The text of the various Biblical books finds their center of gravity in the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth. Indeed every book of the Bible is about Jesus. The NIV is translation that has enjoyed widespread use over the past several decades...even if its popularity is waning. The NIV translation strives to strike a balance between faithfulness to the original language of the text and readability; but if a difficult reading occurs and the translators have to make a choice between a wooden-yet-accurate translation or a readable-yet-paraphrased translation, they go with the latter. The NIV is easy to read "in your head," but doesn't sound very majestic when read out loud (e.g. in a worship service).The footnotes and articles provided by the editors of the Archaeological Study Bible provide insights into the culture, customs, geography, and other idiosyncrasies of the period covered by the Biblical text.
