The Bible was originally penned for an ancient people far removed from us by thousands of years and countless miles. The Scriptures contain subtle, culturally-based nuances, undertones, and references to ancient events, literature, and customs that were intuitively grasped by those who first heard the texts read aloud. To fully comprehend the Scriptures as they did, we need a glimpse into their world and language.

The NRSV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, featuring notes from Dr. John H. Walton (Wheaton College) in the Old Testament and Dr. Craig S. Keener (Asbury Theological Seminary) in the New Testament, brings the ancient world of Scripture to life for modern readers. Expertly designed for the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) text, Zondervan's exclusive Comfort Print® provides a seamless reading experience that complements the foremost Bible translation vetted by Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical, and Jewish scholars. Renowned for its exquisite balance of scholarship and readability, the NRSV faithfully serves the church in personal spiritual formation, liturgy, and academia.
