Hey Terry
Nothing wrong with the NIV.

Regarding the "Spirit of the Reformation
Study Bible":
1. It's heavily Covenant Theology - not good
2. It's NIV - not good
3. It's essentially the Word of God - real good :)
I am often impressed by the MacArthur Study
Bible. Every study Bible is influenced by biases,
but the MSB is Reformed in it's soteriology,
and "feels" Progressive Dispensational in an
almost NCT way.

Harry,
I would recommend the ESV for a new Christian. I almost always avoid using
runing commentaries such as the Message and I just don't care for the NIV.
My own favorite is the NASB but for pulpit or teaching I prefer the ESV. I'm
no original language scholar so I have to employ all of the helps I can get
my hands on. If I need a language scholar I call 1-555-nogreek. If that
doen't help I call JGR.
Grace!
