The Reformation Study Bible NKJV

by Anonymous, R.C. Sproul (Editor), J.I. Packer (Editor)

The first Geneva Bible opened the pages of Scripture for all readers and provided helpful notes to assist in the understanding of its central message. The Reformation Study Bible, under the editorial leadership of reformed scholars such as R.C. Sproul and J.I. Packer, offers a modern restatement of Reformation truth for the broad evangelical community. A wonderful resource for anyone who desires to understand the impact the powerful truths of the Reformation have had on today's church. Available in the New King James Version.

My dad gave me my first Bible (this one) one Christmas because he said it was one of the best versions for studying the Word of God. I think it's awesome because of all it's notes, but I have hardly ever use it! I am currently using a ESV that is much easier to transport, but I still use this one to look stuff up!

[Jesse Kessler]

While the notes are primarily put together by a single author/editor, they are rich, balanced and do a great job of pointing out multiple popular viable perspectives.

This study Bible, however, stands out because it actually has a helpful collection of reformation creeds and essays that address important and popular topics and theology points head on. Where many study Bibles have articles that give broad reaching essays, or very specific topical essays that may or may not be relevant to your study, these articles clarify key issues efficiently.

This Bible is an essential library all on its own.

I got a copy for my 40th birthday. I was disappointed to find out that it wasn't *the* Geneva Bible, which is what I really wanted. Now this same bible has been re-released as the Reformation Study Bible.

[Jeremy]

I read 2 pages a day, and I got through it in about 3 years.

Notes here.

[Greg Judy]

Excellent notes. Good resource for anyone--layman or minister.

[Susan]

Life changing, by God's grace. Have read through the entirety many times over in my life, and find something impactful with each reading.

This study Bible is one of the best study Bibles you can buy. Chalk full of helpful theological notes, fairly in-depth book and section introductions, comprehensive references, well written scholarly articles, and a collection of exceedingly beneficial creeds and confessions in the back. If you're looking for reliable, biblical theology, this is for you.

[Matthew Gasperoni]

This Study Bible and the ESV Study Bible are my 2 go to resources during study. I think overall, if I had to pick one, I may pick the ESV SB due to actual textual commentary, especially in the OT. Not by content, but by volume - there have been times when the ESV SB just covered slightly more. However, the additional resources, confessions, theological topic summaries, and of course solid commentary in general make this something I will always have and go to ... truly a fantastic resource. I just reached for NKJV to have another translation handy, and aside from ESV and NASB, this translation (NKJV) is one of my 3 preferred translations.

This has been an (almost) daily Bible for personal devotions for 5+ years.
I can't really find much fault with it. The notes are sound and helpful. It's cumbersome so generally stays at home. Not sure how much longer my "leather-like" edition will last but it's held up for now.

[Lisa]

I own the ESV version. The notes are a help as well as the confessions included in the back.

I try to read through the Bible every other year, alternating with a plan of deeper study. An app like YouVersion can help keep me on track with completing enough each day.

I learn many things from God through this book every day. I am trying to read several chapters a day, but quite often I put it off. This has been a big problem for me for years... I've never been able to read it cover to cover, although it has been my goal for 6 years. Hopefully, with God's help, I'll be able to do it this year... and then I start to read it again, because each time a read it, I learn something new, exciting, and thought-provoking!

2016– M’Cheyne reading plan
2017– chronological reading plan
2021-- Used M’Cheyne reading plan
2022-- Used Five Day Bible Reading Program; didn’t keep me in a regular habit of Bible reading as I often went several days without reading
2023– used DesJardin’s thematic plan; was okay, but wouldn’t likely do it again as the order seemed too random
2024– M’Cheyne reading plan
2025- M’Cheyne reading plan

It's the Bible. Need I say more?

[Robert]

Truth based on the tradition passed down from our puritan Fathers who used the Geneva Bible when they, pilgrims and came to America

I wonder why people always talk about the geneva conventions?

[Douglas Wilson]

Scripture. Just New Testament NKJV, not this edition.

[Brian]

read through the bible once a year

[christy]

This is our go-to family Bible, our favourite.

[Randall O. Watkins]

It's God's plan of redemption for humanity! Read it!

Spoiler Alert: Jesus is Alive!!

[Daniel]

This is the best study Bible I have ever been exposed too. The NKJV is a direct equivalence translation from the recieved text. It is well paragraphed in a single column which make it easy to read. (Avoid the ESV edition which uses the annoying familiar doubke columns.) It is not a "nitch" study Bibke, but the notes are broadly and deeply Theological in scope from the Reformed perspective.
