Zondervan NIV Mapping Bible(Cloth over Board, Gray Comfort Print): Find Connections in Scripture Using a Unique 5-Step Process

Go beyond just reading the Bible.

Compare Bible translations, pick out meaningful words, and delve into the true meaning of each Scripture line. The NIV Mapping Bible features everything you need to get started, including detailed instructions, starter maps, and prompts. Once you’ve begun your mapping journey, you can use the blank templates to branch out on your own. More than simply reading a line or Scripture passage, mapping means using Bible study tools to research what you've just read—to learn more about what God is saying to you and how you can apply His Word to your life today.

In the NIV Mapping Bible, author Kristy Cambron shows you the basics and helps you discover the joy of mapping Scripture, allowing you to make this five-step process part of your daily Bible study. This unique study technique helps you uncover the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of each section you study. It includes exploring Hebrew and Greek word studies, finding connections in Scripture, comparing translations, and learning as much as you can from your time in God’s Word.

Mapping Scripture involves five steps:

1. Choose: Select a line from the Bible and write it out.
2. Compare: Record this line in two or three other translations and underline key words that are the same or different.
3. Research: Look up the Hebrew or Greek meaning for the underlined words and record it
4. Consider: Ask questions about the section. Imagine what it would be like to experience what’s happening. Read the surrounding passages and use other study tools to dig deeper if you prefer.
5. Apply: What is God saying to you? How does this Scripture line relate to your life today?
