Dr. Jeannine Brown: Drawing on my own study of Matthew, I was able to clarify the meaning of the Greek term teleios as used in Matthew 5:48. Jesus calls his disciples to “be perfect” like their “heavenly Father is perfect.” Because teleios doesn’t map exactly onto the English word “ perfect,” our note on this verse now provides the following clarification: Since this is a revision to the 2011 NIV Study Bible, can you think of a specific study note or feature that you personally helped refine on account of better cultural or thematic understanding of a passage? Yet the Study Bible wasn’t just for pastors and professors. It was for any Christian who wanted to develop a deeper understanding of the Bible. Since its release, The NIV Study Bible has sold more than 10 million copies. Dr. Jeannine Brown: It was helpful in a number of ways. First, as part of the NIV translation team, I know how difficult the work of translation can be and how often there are legitimate alternates for translating a particular text. So I wasn’t prone to use the notes of the study Bible to dispute the NIV translation. While it’s legitimate sometimes to provide translation alternatives (as the footnotes of the NIV itself often does), I found myself being sure in the notes to communicate the viability of the various translation choices of the NIV at places where real disagreement about translation occurs.
