This review is from: International Inductive Study Bible: New American Standard Bible (Hardcover)

As far as study bibles go, this is the best that I've used, and I've used many over the years. As a theology student, this particular version of the Word is the best there is for inductive study... I've had my (first edition Multnomah) IISB since its first release and as far as study goes, it's my main bible. For those familiar with the inductive study method, you'll appreciate the layout of the text, the extra-wide margins for notes/insights, and the various tables and explanations that are found in the edition. As far as study goes, the NASB is one of the best translations to use as its transliteration stays true to the original languages. Kay Arthur and team have done an outstanding job at putting together a textual tool that, once in the hands of students, is the best there is for said same students to dig into the Word and "feed" themselves. If you're a serious student of the Bible then I cannot recommend highly enough that you get yourself a copy of this bible and learn the Inductive Study Method. You'll never look back and your spiritual life will forever be transformed. Be prepared to enter the Throne Room!

This review is from: International Inductive Study Bible: New American Standard Bible (Hardcover)

Kay Arthur has produced a study Bible that draws you directly into the Bible itself. Christians who use the method of study found in this Bible will find themselves growing in their walk with Christ as never before. If you use this Bible you will be freed from over-reliance on commentaries and what others have said about the Word. Highly recommended.

This review is from: International Inductive Study Bible: New American Standard Bible (Hardcover)

The most word-for-word, formal-equivalence Bible available today is the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Such scrupulousness to the original text lends itself very well for use as a study Bible. Originally, as a Bible for reading, the language was at times wooden and awkward. The updated version, however, is not quite as wooden-feeling as the 1966 version: its punctuation style is more current style and it uses fewer archaic words (for example, reckoned is now credited and beholds is sees). The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version (1901), but is even more literal than its predecessor. In the 1966 version, this literalness virtually applied throughout the NASB, except in the use of thou, thee, and thy when addressing God. Neither the Greek, Hebrew, nor Aramaic texts used special pronouns when referring to God. However, in the 1995 version, the NASB does not use thee or thou when referring to God.

Bible scholars recommend the NASB for its accuracy in translating various terms, synonyms and tenses, for its use of articles, and for the way it treats passages about Jesus. Nevertheless, this reviewer considers the NASB the best version for serious reading and Bible study.

In the NASB 1 John 3:17 reads:

But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? (NASB)

The NASB receives an A in accuracy but only a C in readability.
