The NIV Rainbow Study Bible. (NIV 1984) 1992. 1576 pages. [Source: Bought]
First sentence: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
I've read several Rainbow Study Bibles before. I have it in the King James Version, the NIV 2011, and the NIV 1984. (I also have it in the CSB. But I am not a fan of the CSB Rainbow Study Bible because they switched THE MEANINGS TO ALL THE COLOR CODES.)
This one is no longer in print. (Obviously). You can still find Rainbow Study Bibles. It's just that Zondervan has completely and totally discontinued the 1984 edition of the New International Version.
Each verse of the Bible is color coded. Colors represents topics, themes, concepts.
It is double-column.
The whole Bible is the Word of God--breathed out by God. But some verses are underlined indicating a direct quote. For example, Jesus in the gospels. But in the Old Testament there are underlined verses as well. (Thus saith the Lord, etc.)
I love the translation. This is not my favorite and best edition of that translation. I had high hopes, but, life is just hard when your vision is less than ideal, to say the least. I am glad I bought it. But this one won't be replacing my favorite NIV 1984.
