NIV
Bible is the work of a transdenominational team of Biblical scholars
[more about the NIV Bible]. All confess the authority of the Bible as
God’s infallible word to humanity. They have sought to clarify
understanding of, develop appreciation for, and provide insight into
that word. This website provides the “Introductions to the Books of the
Bible” that are found in the NIV Study Bible.
Each
introduction to each book of the Bible is different. Introductions vary
in length and reflect both the nature of the material itself and the
strengths and interests of contributing editors.
An
introduction frequently reports on the book’s title, author, and date
of writing. It details the books background and purpose, explores themes
and theological significance, and points out special problems and
distinctive literary features. Where appropriate, such as in Paul’s
letters to the churches, it describes the original recipients of a book
and the city in which they lived.
