Make Jesus Your Telos – Your Ultimate Object or Aim

Created to meet the spiritual needs of high school and college students, The NIV Telos Bible is designed to be contextually relevant and to challenge young adults to take a meaningful look at the Bible. It encourages this diverse generation to know and follow Jesus while discovering what the Bible says about the subjects that are most important to them. Acting as a student’s guide through Scripture, this Bible includes tools like book introductions, reading plans, core questions and answers, and journaling prompts to equip young adults to make sense of the Bible. Readers will learn that while discovering Jesus and living out his ways is the telos – a Greek word meaning "ultimate goal or objective" – it is only the beginning of the ripple effects that will shape their lives and their influence on the world for years to come.
