Reviews

I believe

[Holly Macdonald]

How to rate:
How does one rate scripture?

Love, repentance, punishment, forgiveness. Repeat again and again and again.

Poetry and family sagas complete with the devout and the wicked.

History.

Metaphors for the ancient nature of man and God.

The Bible never gets old. No matter how many times you read it or in what version there's always something new to learn.

[AmericanArminian]

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. ESV and a NKJV side by side. Better, go to the original Texts. I've read New Living, Living, NAS, KJV, NKJV, ESV and several of the more "story" versions. There are significant differences. Best thing that ever happened was taking Hermeneutics, Apologetics, and Theology courses. Taught me so much about how to read these Texts instead of what they said.

OK, so specifically about this version. Very evangelical or Baptist type perspectives. Nothing wrong with that so long as you are aware of it as you read it. That being said, it is absolutely full of wonderful insights. Love it very much. it was the first 'big' Bible I ever had. Was suggested by a pastor that I wish would have told me it was a 'perspective'. You'll love this version. My choice AFTER a version like this is the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible: Key Insights Into God's Word -New American Standard Bible. Doesn't have a fraction of the insights, but that isn't it's purpose. The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible is for getting as close to the original meaning as possible. Second choice would be the ESV Study and then almost anything by Holman. Love Holman tools.

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.

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.

[Doug]

Whan can i say its the best! After all it was inspired by GOD!! Never had or never will read any thing that is nore truthful

[Pam]

If you only ready 1 book in your life, make it this one. A God breathed guide for living. Reading it through once again.

My first study Bible was a Ryrie NASB. It is the only Bible I use.
