TNIV Books of the Bible Classic Black

The Books of the Bible project encourages better Bible reading, particularly by emphasizing the reading of whole books. The result is an inviting and clean visual presentation of the Bible, in Today's New International Version (TNIV), that can be understood and enjoyed more easily. The Books of the Bible differs from the format of most current Bibles in significant ways:


- Chapter and verse numbers are removed from the text (A chapter and verse range is given at the bottom of each page). Each book's natural literary breaks are shown instead.

- There are no notes, cross references, or section headings in the text

- Text is presented in one column rather than two or more

- Books that have historically been divided into parts are restored

- Books are presented in an order that gives readers more help in understanding.

“At last a publisher has brought us back to the reality of the first fifteen hundred years of the church: a Bible without numbers. Although the numbers are a great convenience for ‘finding things,’ they in fact get in the way of good Bible reading. So in the language Augustine heard many centuries ago, ‘Take up and read; take up and read!’ with heavy emphasis on the ‘read.’ ”
