Henry Morris has never been one to shy away from controversial issues, and that is reflected in the footnotes he penned in this study Bible. He has comments on passages that others often totally ignore in their editions. He frequently challenges the conventional interpretation of difficult passages (for example, his identification of the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6:2 as Jesus Christ, rather than Anti-Christ.)

Morris' notes are clearly based on the literal hermeneutic: that is, dispensationalism. In addition, he is unabashedly baptistic when it comes to church polity. And of course, he is definitely a young-earth creationist. If you are unwilling to accept this sort of perspective on the Scripture, you should probably look at a different study Bible.

Morris gives a clear and concise defense of his choice of the Authorized Version as the text. His defense indicates that he is in the mainstream of the Majority Text/Textus Receptus camp. He is *not* KJV-only.

The text provided Word does have certain shortcomings. The italics for words which are implied but not stated in the original languages are missing from this text. In addition, the concordance is essentially worthless. If you are away from home and don't have access to your Strong's or Cruden's concordances, trying to use the concordance is very frustrating.

This Bible is now my primary study Bible. It doesn't replace my Scofields (original and new editions) nor my Thompson Chain Reference Bible, but I do find it refreshing to read and study from.

Henry M. Morris, a foremost Bible scholar, scientist, and scholar, has produced yet another great volume filled with Biblical truths that all Christians should read.

Dr. Morris's views on the validity of literal Bible interpretation and the infallibility of the Bible are represented eloquently throughout the more than 6000 annotations in the Defender's Study Bible. He strives to explain difficult passages in a clear and concise manner. He refuses to compromise in order to maintain the authority of true Biblical Christianity and doctrine. He applies what the Bible says to modern life, constantly comparing numerous things in the Bible to their contemporary equivalents.

One of the greatest aspects of this study Bible is its clear views on controversial matters. Where other study Bibles and other commentators will take a neutral stance, Morris presents what he believes to be the truth--what he feels the authors meant by what they said--and compassionately, lovingly, tactfully, and thoroughly defends his belief while presenting and disproving those of others.

Morris himself wrote in his introduction that the Defender's Study Bible follows a literal approach to the Bible. He says, "Based on this literal and contextual approach, the notes become what one might call Baptistic in ecclesiology, pre-millennial in eschatology, non-charismatic in pneumatology and moderately Calvinistic in soteriology." While no attempt is made in his notes to formulate formal doctrines, they do support the above-mentioned ones.

Also of interest is the eighteen appendices at the back of this Bible covering the scientific evidences proving the Bible and evolution vs. creation.

If you are interested in what the Word of God truly says, the Defender's Study Bible is for you. I highly recommend it.

This Bible is an amazing source of information about the Bible, science, and the creation that God made and said was good. I use this as a reference tool for almost all the books in the Bible. The commentary on Genesis and Revelation are worth the cost of the book alone. The rest of the New Testament commentary is truly edifying for the hungry believer. Buy it, use it, treasure it as a faithful commentary and presentation of God's Word to his church in these last days.

This Bible includes the study notes of Dr. Henry M. Morris, who is a foremost scholar in creation oriented studies. Dr. Morris thoroughly debunks the RELIGIOUS fallacy of Evolution (Evidence for which still not forthcoming!).If you don't like the RELIGION forced on your kids in school in the name of science, then this is for you.

This is the greatest study bible that I have seen. Mostly because it is the only bible that I have found that supports biblical creationism. Morris also gives great study helps for archaeology, reference, and life application. I do not see how one person who reviewed this bible said that Morris does not know his archaeology. He also fails to give an example, so don't even consider what he says because this is a great study bible.

This excellent study Bible displays the infallibility of God's word from Genesis to Revelation, with notes showing the scientific accuracy of the truths revealed in scripture.

The notes are clear and consise and help illistrate the beauty of God's written word. A must read for anyone who doubts the accuracy of the Bible.

If you are interested in creation science or just want a great study bible this one is great I have enjoyed it very much.

I am very happy with this study bible and I believe that many if not most people who read the Bible,would be too. One question I have for this order site is: Does it come in the Croation language? I would like to purchase it for some friends of mine who are from Bosnia. Thank you! David Kallio,P.O Box 1509, Brentwood, Ca. 94512-3509

The new edition is published by Nelson, and Nelson Bibles spell Saviour without the U. I prefer the World Published edition, and even though it is now harder to find, I feel it is well worth it to get it used.

The study notes are very well written and doctrinal. There is also a very useful set of appendices showing the harmony of the Bible with various scientific discoveries, as well as prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

This is an excellent Study Bible! It has plenty of notes dealing with Creation as well as a wide variety of other important topics. It supports literal Biblical Creationism and follows a literal approach to all of the Bible!
