About the Binding & Cover
This edition is made from Premium Bonded Leather, with a Smythe sewn binding. The cover has detailed grain, rich color, and a nice leathery feel. Bonded leather is made from tiny bits of leather reformed together with latex binders to create one sold sheet of leather. Depending on the quality bonded leather is composed of 80% to 100% leather fibers. Bonded leather doesn't last as long as Genuine Leather, but does certainly out lasts other types of covers. The reinf...more

This version of the collection of books known as the "Bible" is a watered down version of the KJV. Here, Dr. Ryrie, seems to try to offer a version that is updated and revised to suit more modern tastes. It is a "study" bible for one thing because it offers references to other passages throughout, which is nice. It is also a red-letter edition, meaning that anything that Jesus "said", is pointed out by using a red font. I studied this bible extensively years ago...more

A version that thinks for you. Learn to think! Let me rephrase that. We need to be taught more about how to think instead of what to think. Ryrie (obviously in my opinion) doesn't have anything greatly troubling, but I grew up with Ryrie and found myself consuming more of what Ryrie's comments were than what the actual text says. I would suggest comparing translations instead of relying on commentaries. NKJV and a New Living side by side. Better, go to the original Texts. I've read New Living, ...more

I personally like NASB the best. I feel that it does the best job at sticking with the original Greek/Hebrew while still making it readable in "everyday" English. I also prefer Red Letter Bibles. Finally, I like Study Bibles (and Ryrie has always done a great job at these) for when you want to do an in-depth study of the Bible, because they give you background information and historical/cultural information to help explain some of the passages. Obviously I am not going to review th...more

This study Bible is the best Bible I've ever owned. It has excellent footnotes and cross-references. I usually don't even need a concordance! I got it for Christmas last year and it's been my devotional companion ever since!!

I love the KJV because it's the closest translation to the original Hebrew and Greek.

Things I've learned from this book? It's a life-changer, no doubt about that!! I learned to read when I was six using the Bible, and I've been reading God's letter ...more

Not much commentary compared to ESV Study Bible or MacArthur Study Bible. I bought it hoping to get a classic dispensationalist commentary on the Bible. Below my expectations.

This isn't the actual Bible I use. I like the Zondervan NAS Study Bible with the NIV notes. I like to mark-up my Bibles, so there are lots of underlining/highlighting, notes in the margins, and the endpages are covered with quotes from different speakers or pastors. The Bible is "living and active and sharper than a two-edged sword" so I will forever be reading and rereading it.

I love this version the best. I would love to have it in large print.

This is my BIBLE folks! Everyone has their own particular favorite I suppose this bible is that one for me. It's just the perfect bible in my opinion. Fantastic study bible. I've had mine for many..many years. It's nice and worn now. Very special. Ilove it..love it! Quite divine.

This was my first study bible back in the day when I thought the NASB would give me the most literal (i.e. dispensational) translation possible. Except for some of the commentary, it wasn't too bad. It was stolen from me in Hawaii, along with some other books in my bag.
Angie
A wise lady I know once suggested reading it through like a story. In the front of her Bible she wrote, "This is a true story." I have since done the same. It keeps things in perspective.
This is the one I use in church and for study purposes. Read cover to cover in 2002.
Karla
The New American Standard is an excellent translation for any serious student of the Scriptures. I like Ryrie's study notes, in this version, though I do not agree with every position he takes. His notes are concise and helpful, for the most part.
Matt Downs
The Ryrie brand of study Bible I have found to be the most informative, cleanly denoted, with well-placed and detailed subtexts. I've had a couple of Bibles out of this line and have always been impressed.
Jason Six
So-so translation. Footnotes are a hodge podge of varying views from a wide spectrum of denominations. Sadly, the "study" portion was designed for marketing and appeal moreso than exigesis and truth.

If you only ready 1 book in your life, make it this one. A God breathed guide for living. Reading it through once again.
Ann
My favorite translation by one of my favorite commentators/theologians. Love Ryrie. Love God. Love His Word.
Justin
This book is a good read if you want to have a relationship with Jesus and spend eternity with Him in Heaven.
