NIV Study Bible

I have a lot of different study Bibles and love them all, but if I could only take one to a deserted island for the rest of my life, it would be this one. A broad-purpose study Bible (that is, notes include issues of theology, history, archaeology, translation, textual criticism and more), it usually covers all relevant perspectives of significant debates (e.g. women preaching) even-handedly, allowing the reader to come to their own conclusions while still being recognisably Evangelical and subtly hinting at a preference for conservative perspectives. Book introductions are set out well, being detailed without clutter. The photos, charts and maps in this Bible are next level. The NIV translation is gorgeous, showing both clarity and an appreciation for the beauty and rhythm of language.
