5.0 out of 5 stars A Bible that magnifies the sovereignty and worth of God..., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

Out of the three study Bibles I have at home, I'd say that I trust most what I read and learn from the New Geneva Study Bible because of its trueness to the original texts of many centuries ago as well as its God-centered study notes. The more you dig into all of the great things that this Bible offers, the more you will gain an accurate view of God's awesomeness and His sovereignty over creation, redemption, missions, and much more. If you're serious about learning more about the one true God beyond a superficial level, I highly recommend this Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong on Doctrine and the Reformed Position, January 7, 2001

By	K.H. - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

In rating a Study Bible it becomes a difficult task. To try and put away one's personal taste and write an unbiased rendering can be difficult. In this case, I may have made this very mistake.

This is my personal favorate because it seems to be the strongets in doctrinal issues. Edited by renowned reformed theologian-philosopher R.C. Sproul, the logical sequence and short, but informative essays on doctrines are a plus.

The running commentary is quite good and except for a couple of "spots" like Genesis 6, quite scholarly. The running commentaries strengths are when it deals with eschatology, because the emphasis is where it should be: non-sensational and balanced.

The added essays by J.I. Packard, Bruce Waltke, and James Boice are exceptional. This study bible may present problems for a Christian culture not well grounded in reformation views or biblical doctrine in general; However, these are probably the people who need it most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, August 16, 2000

By	secondadd "secondadd" (Dublin, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This is a very good study Bible, with solid and accessible commentary from respected Reformed theologians like RC Sproul and JI Packer (better than Ryrie to be sure). Like the previous reviewer, I too strongly prefer the paragraph format and the New King James Version as the best translation out there (fwiw, it was done by translators who believed in the inerrancy of Scripture). The books are opened with a good discussion of background and context. Most comments are brief but illuminating, and there is the occasional one-page forays into more substantive issues (e.g. Angels, The Sacraments, Christian Liberty). I have the leather version, which I like but I did have to get the binding repaired rather quickly- hopefully they've improved the quality control.
