The color-coding instead provides you the reader with an easier way to delve into the Bible and to easier make correlations between different scriptures at a glance. This study bible is a great resource for beginners as it is for preachers and teachers as well. The Inductive Bible Study method is explained in detail in the front section. Each book of the Bible has an introduction and overview, but chapter headers and book outlines are left blank for you to fill in as you study. Other than minimal prompts on keywords to look for as you study, there is very little commentary. If you want to pull scriptural truths from the Bible for yourself, without getting too technical you will love this Bible. Personally, I believe the best study Bible will have study notes written by a variety of scholars. This allows you to get a variety of perspectives on a variety of texts. If all the notes are written by a single person, you’re only getting their interpretation of all the passages. This can get especially dicey if you’re getting into more difficult texts, like in the Book of Revelation.It is a good choice for beginners or believers who are not entirely adept at their biblical knowledge and how to apply it to their everyday lives. Even more seasoned readers of the Bible will find this Bible study guide useful. It will provide readers with an easy-to-read unit that will not be intimidating. This, of course, will simply just make it easy to enjoy reading the word.

What follows is an in-depth guide to choosing a study Bible. First, I’ll lay out some general guidelines when it comes to choosing one, then make some specific recommendations about various study Bibles.

There are Bibles for men, women, college students, high-school students, kids, military members, and on and on. It’s a flabbergasting, overwhelming blessing. There are certainly going to be elements of preference involved in making your choice. Maybe your church uses one particular translation. Maybe you grew up reading and memorizing the NASB. Maybe you just like the way a particular translation feels. The scripture and notes are both double-column. Notes are in a shaded area and a different font, so they are easy to distinguish. One tool that is notably missing is a cross-reference system for related verses. The four-color graphics used throughout definitely have a feminine flair, adding interest without distracting from the text. The scripture text is double-column with cross-references in between and notes in a single-column below. Book introductions are brief. Graphics are extremely minimal. This study Bible has zero fluff, and some serious study tools.This study bible is unique as it was put together not just by scholars and world-renowned authors but also because it was compiled through input from over 1,000 people. The information was crowdsourced with people being asked to read a passage of scripture and then indicate what questions came to mind when they read the scripture. Their responses were responsible for how the questions were placed and posed in the notes section of this study Bible. The Complete Jewish Study Bible is an invaluable tool for persons at all levels.

Generally speaking, study Bibles fall into one of two categories: Interpretation Centered Study Bibles Dynamic equivalence study Bible translations attempt to translate the Bible in a “thought-for-thought” manner. In other words, instead of translating each word individually, they attempt to translate the original thoughts behind each word and phrase.

The KJV Study Bible from Holman is a great choice. It is complete with good notes, better than most other study bibles. The full-color images and maps are beautiful and the study Bible is quite a feature-rich one. It is the only full-color KJV study bible available and that alone puts it in a class of its own.

The target audience is kids ages 8-12. Other than the simplified study notes, this Bible doesn’t include the basic study tools an adult would look for, such as cross-referencing and a concordance. If you use this as an adult it would be more of a colorful, easily accessible, reading Bible rather than a study Bible.

In other words, they want to help you get to the heart of the author’s original intent. With this study Bible, you can use it repeatedly and still learn something and still grow closer and closer to God and his truth for your life with each and every repeat read.
