The NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible provides a theological conservative, balanced system of notes and articles that trace the Reformed Christian heritage back to its roots in the Reformation. Appropriate for both an academic and an informed lay audience, this Bible incorporates extensive study notes, as well as articles, charts, and graphs, that comment on Scripture from a distinctly Reformed perspective. Included is the complete text of each of the six major Reformed doctrinal standards, keyed in the study notes to relevant Scripture passages. Special features: · In-text theological articles focusing on topics relevant to Reformed believers. · Extensive theological and study notes. · Side-column reference system. · Section and book introductions and outlines. · Doctrinal standards of the Reformed Faith: Heidelberg Catechism, Westminster Confession, Westminster Shorter Catechism, Belgic Confession, Canons of Dort, Westminster Larger Catechism. · In-text maps, charts, and graphs. · Concordance.

The NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible is based on the New Geneva Study Bible, which was later renamed the Reformation Study Bible. It was originally published in the NKJV in the mid 1990's and is now available in the ESV.
The translation issue aside, the advantages it has over the NKJV/ESV Reformation Study Bible (RSB) include more extensive study notes and the inclusion of the Reformed confessions. While many of the notes are the same as the RSB's, others are different or more detailed. Due to the inclusion of the confessions, some of J.I. Packer's original articles were deleted in favor of new ones. (Those articles by Packer can also be found in his "Concise Theology.") Unfortunately, when the ESV version of the Reformation Study Bible was issued a couple of years after the NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible, the study notes and articles do not appear to have been changed or enhanced from the original NKJV version and no additional material was included.
Even if you don't like the 1984 NIV, if you are primarily looking for a reference work instead of a Bible for general use, this is the Reformed Study Bible to get if you have a choice. For those who do not adhere to Reformed theology, this is still an excellent resource if you're interested in learning about Reformed theology.
Unfortunately this Study Bible appears to be out of print and is now difficult to find at a reasonable price. Hopefully it will be reprinted at some point, but that would be somewhat unlikely in the near future given the current hegemony of the ESV and the ESV Reformation Study Bible. Since Zondervan is a publisher for the NASB, it's theoretically possible (albeit unlikely) that it could be issued in that translation. Perhaps an electronic version could be made available for the Kindle, Logos or some other platform. (
