A fresh and conservative approach to studying the Scriptures through the eyes of the Reformed Theological heritage, this Silver Medallion award winner is the first NIV study Bible incorporating a summary of Reformed theology.

Rooted in Scripture, the Reformed heritage is rich in truths that shape and define Protestantism. Justification by faith, salvation by grace, authority of Scripture ... the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible provides a more thorough understanding of the standards of the faith that lit the lamps of the Reformers and have been the assurance of Christians through the ages. Filled with over 20,000 study notes and 66 in-depth articles, this Bible clarifies the meaning and message of the Scriptures and sheds light on key doctrines and theological concepts from a Reformed perspective. Yet the thrust of the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible extends far beyond commitment to a tradition. With unswerving balance, it addresses the full sweep of God's Word, including numerous issues that do not directly involve Reformed distinctives. This Bible uses plain language to make scholarly concepts accessible. While some of the articles presume a familiarity with basic Reformed expressions, the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible is designed to speak to everyone who longs for a better grasp of God's Word and trusts in its sufficiency for every aspect of life.
