Synopsis. Powered by Pradis™, The NIV Application Commentary of the New Testament on CD-ROM presents the complete content of the twenty-volume hardcover set and the full text of the NIV in a more powerful, intuitive, and easily accessible format.

Description. Original meaning to contemporary significance. Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the passage but don’t discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable—but the job is only half done!

The NIV Application Commentary series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our present-day context.
