Note: I try to read through various Bible versions for my annual "Bible-in-a-Year" reading. In 2020, I chose the NET Bible.

The translation is just OK. This is not a Bible translation I'd want to preach from or have in the pews. And it's not the first translation I'd hand a new believer. I prefer a more formal equivalence version. Seems crazy that I'd give it 5 stars, I suppose.

The rating is for the notes. The notes in this Bible are absolutely amazing. It is NOT a study Bible in the normal sense. The notes aren't generally 'commentary'. They are explanations of the underlying language and occasionally textual variants. They are immensely helpful to all church leaders and Bible teachers.

If you are a preacher or teacher in a local church, this is a must have for your library. It's like Strong's or Robertson's Word Pictures on steroids—and yet right there in the Bible itself.

For the record, I've found the OliveTree version to be the easiest to navigate, even though I also own a hard copy.

I have very much enjoyed the NET Bible since the first edition was published. Would that more publishers provided such an open copyright for ministry use.

In 2026, I read the NET 2ed for my annual Bible speed-read. It was very readable in large chunks, and yet was different enough than the basic translations I've memorized over the years (NIV, NASB, ESV) to draw my attention to a number of helpful details in the text that wouldn't have otherwise stood out.

the transators notes in this version are really good. It doesn't always translate things in the way you expect but there is always a not explaining the rationale. the first edition was better in my opinion because the hebrew font in the notes was traditional hebrew but the 2nd ed has replaced the teasingly biblical hebrew font with a modern sans serif font, though admittedly still use nikkud.

I try to read through the Bible twice each year and sometimes throw in new to me translations. This translation was ok, the ESV is still my favorite, but the translation notes were incredible. A good reference to have, if just for the notes alone.

Five stars for the notes alone! 🌟🤌 The extensive translation notes and textual variances were immensely helpful and brought an entirely new experience to reading the Bible.

This is a new translation for me and I really appreciate all of the translation notes.

I read this 90 days.. it wasn't bad, but I didn't like it for the psalms and some other places. The translations notes are interesting and informative.
