Amazon.com Review
Enhance the experience of Bible study with your computer and the Zondervan International Bible CD-ROM package. Along with an actual paper-and-ink New International Version of the New Testament (how retro!), you get Compton's Interactive Bible and The Complete Multimedia Bible, each on its own disc. The set provides a quick introduction, then dives quickly into the text of the widely accepted NIV. Compare the NIV with the King James Version contained in The Complete Multimedia Bible and learn what those Brits were up to several hundred years ago when they translated Greek and Hebrew holy texts into the most printed book in history. Narrated by James Earl Jones, whose voice is perfect for reading the heavy-yet-transcendent text, the disc also includes full-color maps, photos, and videos of the Holy Land as well as explanations of significant events and passages. Of course, it's fully searchable, and you're sure to find yourself spending more time than you had intended on your lessons as you follow up new leads day by day. The Compton's disc covers the NIV in greater depth, including the ever-useful concordance and further search features that will enrich your New Testament study far beyond the text itself. The interfaces are lovely and easy to grasp--you can reach almost any feature in one click, and there's excellent online help if you get stuck. The package as a whole is a great boon to the serious modern Bible student; you'll be amazed at the new depths you find. --Rob Lightner

This CD has filled my exact needs. It was shipped very promptly, I received it in about 4 days after I placed my order. I am well satified in the seller RainbowDreams4us.
Excellent Bible CDrom! December 3, 2002

I don not understand the negative reviews on this product. As a multimedia Bible, Compton's (now Zondervan) is probably the best moderate priced computer Bible on the market. Superlative and intuitive multimedia presentation combined with the very readable and accurate NIV Bible text plus commentary gives the average reader and excellent online Bible (sure is more fun than the standard book form)! From papyrus to codex to computer, the Bible can never die as the Word of God. Compton's Interactive NIV is proof of it - enjoy this Bible for the tech age!

This program would not work with my high-speed computer. It needs a serious updating. I am disappointed.

The above title is not a humourous reference to all the sex, violence, genocide, etc. contained in the Bible (although it could be), but to the fact that some of the commentary in one of the two cds (the Complete Multimedia Bible) is extremely unscholarly and manages to preach some of the intolerance found in more conservative churches. In contrast, the Compton's Bible cd goes for a more positive, inspirational angle. The Compton's is superior in numerous other facets. It has better design, better art/music/etc, a better translation (sure, the King James version is nice and flowery but that gets in the way of reading and understanding it), and contains all the good multimedia of the other cd, pretty much rendering the other cd redundant and useless, and I believe it can be bought on its own. Therefore, imagine you are just buying one Bible cd when you try to decide if the price is worthwhile or look for the Compton's on its own.The Compton's cd does have some interesting historical insight, but it is also designed with Christians in mind, so it doesn't go into controversial history. If you really want to study the Bible (as it now exists--it does not contain any of the deletions that resulted from the Council of Nicea), you should therefore also still try to obtain a more unbiased book from someone not just trying to support or debunk the book (Asimov's guide is a good choice), but even if the Compton's isn't the best at outlining the Bible's history, you still need a copy of the actual text, and this cd with its search engines, pleasant music (classical/middle eastern), beautiful artwork, timelines, maps, etc., make this a nice form in which to own a Bible.
Good Study Guide April 9, 2001

I've found that the software proves as a good study tool. It comes in two disks. "Comton's Interactive Bible (NIV) and "The Complete Multimedia Bible (KJV) In the first, the Text is great (NIV) and the commentarries are what I would expect from Zondervan. The program is very easy to use. And comes with a guided tour to help out. I've never been able to get the On-Line feature to work (it looks like they are trying to push AOL), but, I've got enough material to sift through on the CD's alone. I did find that the "Complete Multimedia Bibe" (KJV) is really dated. The interface seems "DOSish" compaired to "Compton's Interactive Bible (NIV)" I find that I don't use the "Complete Multimedia Bible" as much as the other. I have found that Amazon sells "Compton's Interactive Bible (NIV)" seperatly.
