This version is by far the best of the NIV study Bibles, especially its notes on OT prophets and narrative with dates of kings and other significant events. ( )
This was my bible through most of my teen years an into my twenties. It is so heavily used that it is falling apart. Though I'm not too fond of the NIV, it does provide a balance between the strict interpretation of the NASB and the eloquence of the KJV. I would say this was the Bible that helped me love the book.

The earlier NIV Study Bible is SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT IN DOCTRINAL CONTENT (and the notes make up much of this Bible, it is a *study* Bible) than the later ones, please do not combine if you do not know which ones are similar. For example, right from the begining the earlier edition was different, teaching in Genesis 1 the "Gap Theory" that allows for an old universe of millions of years and so from the beginning introducing a fundamentally different way of viewing the Bible and Bible interpretation. The later editions are much more faithful to the literal-grammatical-historical hermeneutic.
