Overview

The New Interpreter’s Bible presents leading biblical scholarship through an in-depth commentary on the complete Bible, including the Apocrypha. The contributors are leading biblical scholars who bring a wealth of fresh perspectives to biblical interpretation. The contributors are also theologically diverse, reflecting a wide range of denominational backgrounds: Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, Jewish, and evangelical. The NIB offers detailed commentary on coherent manageable portions of text, maps, and excursuses. The Reflections sections are a crucial component of the NIB that provide thoughtful, and thought-provoking, insights on the contemporary application of the biblical text for preaching, teaching, and daily living.

Guided by scholars, pastors, and laity representing diverse traditions, academic experience, and involvement in the Church, this entirely new collection of writings is specifically prepared to meet the needs of preachers, teachers, and all students of the Bible.

In the Logos edition, you can read The New Interpreter's Bible alongside your favorite Bible translations. The easy-to-use digital format of these twelve volumes includes the following:

  • Full texts and critical notes
  • A detailed, critical Commentary providing an exegetical "close-reading" of the biblical text
  • Reflections that present a detailed exposition of issues raised in the discussion and dealt with in the Commentary
  • Lightning-fast search capabilities
  • Scripture references available with a mouse-over
The New Interpreter's Bible commentators are consistently aware that they are in conversation with preachers and teachers in the church. The New Interpreter's Bible is the commentary preachers and teachers need for the years ahead.

—Patrick J. Wilson, The Christian Century

These set of handsome, user-friendly reference books fully accomplishes what it sets out to do, and should prove to be a valuable addition to any Bible student's resource library.

—Harry Conay, "The Book Shelf," Religious Broadcasting

The insights of each of the authors are informative and the Reflections, which follow the literary divisions of each book, are stimulating. Student and teacher alike will find this a very helpful resource.

—Bible Today Volume 35

The entire set should be among the few sets of commentaries on the bookshelves of the serious student of the Scriptures.

—James W. Cox, Review and Expositor

The quality of both the commentary and the Reflections sections is consistently high. The New Interpreter's Bible is an invaluable addition to the library of both academician and pastor.

—Victor P. Hamilton, Asbury College

The New Interpreter's Bible provides a much richer perspective on the text than in any other commentary series currently available.

—Lawrence Boadt, CSP Washington Theological Union, Silver Spring, MD

For this magnificent achievement, Abingdon Press deserves praise from clergy, academics, and anyone interested in the Bible.

—Amy-Jill Levine, Vanderbilt Divinity School, Nashville, TN

The strength of this work lies in its explicit attempt to bring the depth of biblical scholarship into conversion with the preaching and teaching ministry of the church.

—David Mesner, Christ Lutheran Church, Slayton, MN
