 Conservative in the Extreme December 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, this is the most beautiful book I have ever seen. The style, layout, fonts are beautiful.
But consider:
There's no mention of JEDP in the OT Intro. Moses wrote the Pentateuch.
There's no mention of the four source theory in the gospel intros. Matthew wrote Matthew without redaction.
The ethics essays beginning on page 2535 are disasters. No matter the issue (abortion, homosexuality, war, capital punishment) there is one and only one conclusion given, not a survey of evangelical options.
I'm a conservative evangelical, but this Bible is off the charts.
The cults section beginning on page 2631 seems more polemical than irenic.
While this Bible might be OK for a morning devotional, I can't imagine it being taken seriously by any seminary or pastor.
deceptive marketing December 3, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I just received this book yesterday, the marketing is deceptive. They make it out to be a new translation but it is actually a revision of the Revised Standard Version (which it's self is a revision of the American Standard Version, the Revised Version, and the King James Version). I wanted something that was a true, fresh translation that wasn't tainted by others. This isn't it. They should be more TRUTHFUL about it and state rightly that it's a revision of a revision of a revision.
 OVER-HYPE December 3, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It just plain ok.....
You don't need to rush out and by it like I did.
With all the hype from Mark Driscoll and John Piper,
with big name editors like Packer and Grudem, I was expecting
something stunning....
Not just fancy paper and typefaces and illustrations, I was
expecting a theological hurricane and all I just was a light drizzle.
The notes are vague and vanilla. It is bigger than it needs to be.
I would get the Reformation study bible (ESV) or Spirit of the Reformation (NIV) to get some clear direction in the text from a historical point of view.
Best Study Bible, not the best book December 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The ESV Study Bible is probably the best study Bible that I've ever owned or used. The ongoing outlines, topical notes, and tables listing other relevant items on a particular topic are very helpful. For want of an easy way to describe it, the scholarship is conservative, orthodox, reformed, and evangelical. Great resource.
That being said, the physical form this book takes leaves a little to be desired. The book is the largest personal Bible I've ever seen. Thick and heavy, but I guess that's because of all the info. But the way it's bound, with narrow margins, and a binding that causes the pages to crinkle in the seam, makes it feel crowded and oversized. Larger margins and a good binding would have been nice.
 Best Study Bible yet! November 27, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have recently purchased this ESV study Bible and found it a very helpful and exciting guide in helping me dig deeper into Gods word. I love the readability of this version and how it is pointed out in notes on every page of different word or phrase interpretations that may be reasonable. I've found the study notes to be helpful and enlightening while doing my personal Bible Study time also. The easy references to scripture other supporting scriptures is also very handy. A very well done work~!
