I must admit my biases up front. I lean towards a presuppositional apologetic. Seemingly, I would take issue with many of the articles, but I really don't. The editors sought those who are recognized in the evangelical world for the skill in both philosophical theology and applying the bible to tough questions. They did not let us down.
Pros of the Study Bible:
1. Some of the articles are simply outstanding. I can't say more. The ones by Frame, Russell Moore, Copan, and Walt Kaiser are quite good. More...

*Today an angel from B&H sent me a copy of the version of this Bible I have been dreaming of. Pure bliss! Thank you for this blessing!!!*

Their juniors had just started an Apologetics class and I did not know what it was. I was in for quite a surprise and I was astonished that I had never been exposed to apologetics before, especially since it seems to be an essential part of living in faith and participating in evangelism. Now that I have

A really fantastic bible with great articles and notes/footnotes that go fairly deep into a defense of the bible and Christian theology against all others. The translation even comes with a good deal of detail even offering possible difference on debated translations of certain words/phrases. I recommend it for a Christian looking to strengthen their faith against attacks.

Both the Bible and the Translation are 5-stars worthy. The articles are mostly correct and conformed to Scriptures, which means I give them 4-stars. However, most articles are only beginners' apologetics, yet the articles are a starting place for understanding God's word and for finding more advanced apologetics sources.
I clearly have used this well.

This Study Bible while filled with a lot of amazing facts is a very biased book, it promotes a very specific strain of theology and therefore, in my opinion is a poor study bible for the serious bible student or scholar.

I love this Bible. I do, however, wish some of the footnotes and articles were more in depth. But overall, I suggest this study Bible to any Christian.

I love it! I love the articles that it has, however I was expecting for there to be much more articles for study and referencing.

This apologetics study bible gives you a deeper understanding of God's word so that you can better defend the faith that you believe in.

Currently reading this version in an effort to read it again this year. Last year I read it front to back (different version). This year I am doing it chronologically. The Apologetics Study Bible offers some nice insight into the history of different interpretations, scholarly explanations and arguments, and a straight-forward style of writing that allows the message to be easily conveyed. This version is now my choice for daily reading. It helps fill in the gaps on everything from historic

This is something that is always in progress. The Bible is something that is never done.

One of the best (top three) Bibles I've ever read. And I have read many.

One never truly "finishes" reading the bible. I just decided it was time to remove this one from the "stack o' stuff"...

Some of the good stuff is in the margins and special articles. If someone has abused Scripture in the past, when one comes to it here it is highlighted. It gives the offense (according to whomever) and replies with Scripture to show the opposing view in error.

This is a fantastic version. It brakes every section down and is a complete learning tool as well as a valid Bible.

Excellent study Bible / reference Bible for those that love apologetics (everyone should), and for those that get confused with peachers that take Scripture out of context, or those that love the "fine art" of Scripture twisting (such as the JW's, Mormons, etc...). Another person I got this Bible for uses it regularly as his study Bible.
