I had gotten to the point that I was getting tired of seeing the same study Bibles appear again and again as markdowns. Maybe you had, too. It was exciting to see this new NIV study Bible in my looking around the Internet today (Tuesday). It appears that it has not been published for very long. The reason that I'm posting it is that it is marked down, by 69%, to only $3.99.

This study Bible uses the 2011 edition NIV text, according to the copyright information given in the beginning part of the book. I believe that I am correct (I haven't personally checked yet) in saying that this edition drops the "gender-neutral" language that was adopted in the previous edition, known as Today's New International Version (complete Bible published in 2005). I don't know what other changes that there might be in the 2011 text.

I can't speak for the newness and quality of the maps and other such helps/aids, as they were not included in Amazon's preview that I perused, but the comments and practical helps/aids looked new and seemed to be pretty good.
