Aching huh? I think I can help with that. The reason they are so different is that we (IBS) produced them. Z produces the NIV/TNIV Study Bible notes. They were written by Christoper R. Smith, with whom I'd be happy to put you in touch. Drop me an email and I'll get you two connected.

Bizarre but fascinating. Can't wait to hear stories of their theological pranksterism as it all progresses. :)

Hi Paul, I'm aching to know, who wrote the book intros in TBoTB... they're great! Reading James in the 'wisdom' genre, combined with the formatting to support that assertion, has been such a surprisingly obvious option for understanding an otherwise scattered epistle. And the intro to Revelation is just spiffin'. This edit of the TNIV is quite different from the old NIV Study Bible's mellow dispensationalism. Hallelujah.

"You've come a long way, baby." as they say. :)

Hey Brandon, thanks for the mention of The Books of The Bible. But for the record, it's an IBS product. Glad you're enjoying it.
And after reading your review, I'm looking forward to reading Rob's new book even more!

[Good] grief! I don't think I've ever been so excited reading a book review. Granted Bell and Golden's book sounds awesome, and I can't wait to read it, but I really appreciate your word choices. Keep preaching the gospel (of the kingdom)! It's amazing how resilient empire is, but thank God it has been defeated.
