This is probably the most useful study Bible I have. Having the Greek and Hebrew numbers right by the words in the text and the concordance and dictionary in the back makes digging deeper into God's Word so much easier. The grammatical guide to the New Testament words are a wonderful help as well. It allows you to get the truest sense of what the author was trying to convey. The book introductions and 'keys' are informative. There are many cross-references included that are helpful, too.

The only reason I didn't give this Bible 5-stars is I am used to a Thompson and I think the paper quality, while not bad, is not equal to what I am used to. I've told several folks that if they every combined this Bible with the Thompson (and it was made like the Thompson) you would have pretty near the perfect Study Bible.

This Bible is everything I was expecting. I definitely recommend this Bible to anyone interested in studying God's Word in original text.

This Bible used to be published by Baker House but is now published by AMG. This has taken nothing away from the quality at all. Great binding, excellent quality and reliability. Highly recommended.

I am currently writing a book about the names of God and am daily consulting this text. My older version wore out, but this updated version is even better than the previous one. I highly commend this in-depth resource to anyone seriously studying the Bible -- Old Testament, New Testament or both. Within the scriptures, selected words are coded to the Hebrew and the Greek Lexicons. The Lexicons are included at the back of the volume. More additional helps are also available in this new version. So, if your previous copy has worn thin or you have never owned a Hebrew-Greek Study Bible, this updated version is a "must have" for all avid Bible students!

This text is a great gift for birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, Anniversary or "just because".

PS, you do not need to read Hebrew or Greek language symbols to gain the meanings of the Hebrew and Greek words.

If you are really serious about studying the Bible, I believe that this is a Bible that can help if you use it "religiously." As noted, it gives both Hebrew and Greek explanations and definitions. The key words in the text are numerically coded to James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible (noted in the introduction). It has a Concordance of its own to the Old and New Testaments. It even has a guide to transliteration from Greek to English with modern pronuciation guidelines.

I received this study Bible January 2011. So far, it has really helped me as I study God's Word. In fact, it is such a help that using it with The New Strong's Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible sometimes allows me to study only one verse during a study session because of the information, the underlined key words or phrases that may be studid further by looking up the corresponding numbers in the appropriate dictionary and or Concordance, the cross references, the italicized marginal notes, and much more. If you decide to buy it, use it. It can elevate your studying to a "higher" level.

Love this Bible. Have owned for a short time and the Lord has already given me a deeper revelation of His love by using it. Its amazing the understanding you receive by studying the Bible in the original language in which He inspired it to be written! This Bible allows easy access to that type of study and is still small enough to be mobile. Love being able to take it to church and take notes in it!

The actual edition I have is the 1992 printing. At the time I was looking for a better and different Bible than the Life Application Bible I owned. I stumbled on this Bible at the local Christian book store. I was new to Bible study but I had found out what a Strong's Concordance was and knew of the value. When I begin to look at this Bible I knew it was for me. I was thirsty for learning about God's Word and saw this type of Bible with a Strong's included would be great. I have used my bonded leather Bible until the cover was cracked and torn. A new puppy to the home decided to study it and tore a few pages and the cover. I was hurt and mad about this... I knew I must restore my Bible and I carefully repaired all of the pages. I had the same local store send my prize possession out to get a solid leather cover installed. It looked great but cost more that a brand new one but I could not give up years of notes and of it being my friend in my journey with the Lord.
As for the format of this Bible, I can see why some would not like it if they were not serious students of the Word. I think many would like the explanations just handed to them in short sentences and this Bible offers little commentary, which is okay. The fact is, real Bible study requires study time (reading the Word) and prayer; then do it some more. If you want to learn more that the average student then you will have to start looking up and studying words in the original Hebrew and Greek. This Bible along with a inexpensive computerized Bible (easy way to find each word keyed to Stong's numbers) and a Vine's Word Study would be a great way to study God's Word. Only after you have done this may you carefully review commentaries. Highly recommended to the serious student, teacher or preacher.

I was hoping that the print type might be a little darker. But most Bibles that I've seen lately don't have that crisp dark print anymore. That's my only complaint and if I compare that to what's going on in Japan and other parts of the country than my complaint is pretty pathetic.

I recieved this Bible quickly after ordering and love it. It's just about the perfect Bible, with great footnotes and a Strong's dictionarry. I would definitely recommend this Bible to anyone who wants to go deeper in their study of God's Word.

Thank you for selling me this book now I can work on my sermons better.
