Study Note Contributors

The following people were responsible for writing the NIV Zondervan Study Bible notes for the corresponding books of the Bible. In some cases specific books had more than one writer; in every case the notes for each of the books involved several review and editorial stages. The notes that appear in the NIV Zondervan Study Bible are therefore the result of a collaborative editorial process, and may occasionally include content that differs from those of the primary contributors.
