5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the serious Bible Scholar, July 1, 1999

This review is from: Dake Annotated Reference Bible : Large Note Size (Genuine Leather, Black) [LN56RS] (Paperback)

I've owned this Bible for several years and have found a wealth of information. I caution anyone, though, it is one man's opinion after years, and years of study. It isn't God's commentary. There are many helps to work from and, again, like any other commentary, they are all a human's opinion. No one, I repeat, no one has all the answers but Finis Dake was one well read scholar. Read the word and form your own opinions but study, study, study, to show yourself approved - rightly dividing the truth! Thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dake's Study Bible, April 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dake Annotated Reference Bible : Large Note Size (Genuine Leather, Black) [LN56RS] (Paperback)

A very good study Bible BUT.... you should know what you are getting into. Mr. Dake is a charasmatic and many of his doctrinal views reflect this stand.

The Dake Study Bible ennumerates EVERYTHING! While very enlightening at times, it can also be distracting and trivial at others. Overall, his commentary, historical analysis and observations are VERY GOOD. Be aware, however, that, in his numerous marginal notes, Mr. Dake has MORE TO SAY THAN GOD DOES!

Also, Mr. Dake is DEATH on God's Sabath, Holy Days, Laws, and the Identity of modern-day Israel.

The bottom line is that the Dake Study Bible is a fine-print Bible immersed in an ocean of even finer-print commentary. Due to his copious marginal notes and semingly endless subheads, when Mr. Dake is right, he is REALLY right! and when he is wrong, he is REALLY wrong!

With these cautions in mind, I would hartily recomend the Dake Study for intermediate to advanced Bible students.

1.0 out of 5 stars A highly influential source of heterodoxy, August 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dake Annotated Reference Bible : Large Note Size (Genuine Leather, Black) [LN56RS] (Paperback)

I spent years as a Pentecostal and Dake's work was a major source of doctrine for me. I had to eventually come to reject it due to its historical errors (e.g. misquoting early Church fathers), and heretical views on important things such as the nature of the Holy Trinity. He teaches that the three persons of the Trinty each have a body, soul, and spirit like men. This is tri-theism and not traditional Trinitarian theology believed by the faithful for two-thousand years. It is interesting that Dake was a major influence on charlatans such as Jimmy Swaggart, Benny Hinn, and Roberts Liardon.
