Zondervan to release NIV Grace and Truth Study Bible from General Editor Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

(Grand Rapids, MI, Jan. 2021) – Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, is proud to announce the upcoming release of the NIV Grace and Truth Study Bible with General Editor Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Dr. Mohler is one of the foremost voices for evangelicals worldwide. He is the president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary – the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention. He is also the current president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and is to be nominated for president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

“Book by book through the Bible, 42 wonderful teachers of God’s Word contributed to this project,” remarks Dr. Mohler. “Each of them took time from other pursuits to join in this effort, bringing their pastoral, biblical, and theological skills to this study Bible. Without them, this study Bible would not exist. With them, we shared the joy of helping God’s people to understand the Bible more deeply. I am thankful for every one of them. A project like this is a labor of love and devotion that finds its fulfillment only when it is used. May God bless this study Bible so that it serves his people, not only in this generation, but for generations to come.”

The Zondervan Bible team shepherded this project over a number of years and is thrilled to announce it to the world. “We are honored to be publishing this landmark study Bible,” says Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan. “The editorial committee can be proud of their accomplishment, having achieved their goal that readers of the Bible will learn to see grace and truth revealed on every page of God’s Word. This Bible will be a significant offering, impacting readers upon release and for many years to come.”

This flagship study Bible releases in the bestselling, widely used and trusted New International Version (NIV) translation. Dr. Mohler notes, “We need to be thankful that we have so many good, faithful, accurate, and trustworthy English translations of the Scriptures. The NIV stands out because of its readability and accessibility. Its very origins were that ordinary evangelical Christians would have a good, common translation of Scripture—one that is trustworthy. And for these reasons, the committee and I are pleased to launch this Bible to a broad group of evangelical Christians through pairing our study notes with the NIV text.”

In addition to the NIV editions in English, Vida Publishing will simultaneously release this Bible in Spanish as the NBLA Biblia de Estudio Gracia y Verdad. “Creating a Bible of this magnitude is a testament to the editorial committee’s commitment to the whole counsel of God. Doing so

simultaneously across two leading world-languages is a testament to their commitment to all nations,” says Cris Garrido, vice president and publisher for Vida Publishers. “This has been a massive undertaking, but one that has the potential to shape a generation of churchgoers globally. The world is hungry for both God’s grace and his truth; this Bible will bring readers closer to both.”

The NIV Grace and Truth Study Bible and NBLA Biblia de Estudio Gracia y Verdad will be available in August 2021 in a wide variety of binding types. For more information, visit www.graceandtruthbible.com.

100 million pages saved with NIV Comfort Print®

Grand Rapids, Mich., April 22, 2020- Zondervan Bibles, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, today announced a reduction in 100 million printed pages since the exclusive release of the NIV Comfort Print typeface in 2017.

As part of the company’s Beautiful Bibles initiative launched in 2015, Zondervan partnered with 2K/DENMARK, the foremost Bible type foundry, to create a typeface that uniquely complements the world’s bestselling modern-English Bible translation—the New International Version (NIV). NIV Comfort Print is a highly readable typeface that uses a unique mix of open and closed letters, making it easier to read for long periods of time. It is also spatially efficient, directly contributing to the company’s initiative to reduce its carbon footprint and reduce unnecessary paper usage.

“Increasing readability for the NIV while efficiently reducing paper is a breakthrough and could only be achieved through the collaboration of our partners in every area of the organization,” said Melinda Bouma, vice president and publisher of Zondervan Bible Group. “We are so proud of this accomplishment and the ability to be good stewards of God’s Word as well as our natural resources.”

What does 100 million pages look like?

  • Stacked up, the pages would be more than one mile high, or roughly four Empire State Buildings.
  • Placed next to each other, they would cover 730 football fields.
  • If the pages were laid end-to-end, they would stretch further than the distance between the North and South Pole.

The impact of the Comfort Print typeface has been felt by readers in every category of Zondervan Bibles. But it is the everyday reading Bibles, the editions that readers carry with them daily, that have seen the largest total number of saved pages. The single largest page savings across any line belonged to the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible, saving over 350 pages after being typeset in NIV Comfort Print.

Bestselling The Jesus Bible to reach more readers in new editions— exclusive NIV Comfort Print® typeface, and NVI and ESV translations

Grand Rapids, Mich., June 21, 2018 — After a phenomenal first year, placing high both in Amazon and ECPA rankings, Zondervan is delighted to announce that The Jesus Bible will be available in new editions in late 2018 and early 2019.

In 2017, The Jesus Bible was Zondervan’s bestselling NIV study Bible and was one of the Evangelical Christian Publisher Association’s (ECPA) bestselling study Bibles, as well as #11 overall for ECPA Bibles. More than 140,000 copies of The Jesus Bible have entered circulation since its launch at Passion Conference in January 2017.

Over the following year, the ministry of The Jesus Bible will be extended in three ways. First, in October 2018, The Jesus Bible will be released with new covers and in Zondervan’s exclusive NIV Comfort Print® typeface, making it more readable than ever. It will also be available for the first time in indexed editions.

In February 2019, The Jesus Bible will be published by Editorial Vida, Zondervan’s Spanish division, in the Nueva Versión Internacional, reaching Spanish readers in the United States, Latin America, and Spain.

Finally, just in time for Easter, The Jesus Bible will be published by Zondervan in March 2019 in the English Standard Version (ESV). “In its first eighteen months of publication, The Jesus Bible, NIV Edition has been a massive success, reaching readers of all ages, including those in the increasingly influential 18 to 36-year-old market,” says Kevin Marks, managing director, Passion Publishing. “We are grateful to HarperCollins Christian Publishing for everything they are doing to lift this incredible resource—the launch in November of The Jesus Bible in their exclusive Zondervan NIV Comfort Print® is a significant investment in the future success of the NIV edition. And we believe that expanding the impact by offering The Jesus Bible in both Spanish language editions and the ESV is a powerful step towards making The Jesus Bible accessible to the fullness of the Church and the global Passion Movement.”

The Jesus Bible, which features essays from general editor Louie Giglio as well as Max Lucado, John Piper, Ravi Zacharias, and Randy Alcorn, helps readers follow the thread of Jesus from cover to cover. The Jesus Bible features 66 book introductions and over 1,000 articles, which help readers discover a new depth to the Bible’s meaning as they see Jesus in every chapter of the story.
