5.0 out of 5 stars To spare some confusion: MacArthur has 2 similar Large Print Editions, February 22, 2008

This review is from: The MacArthur Study Bible: Large Print Edition (Hardcover)

ISBN-10: 0718020332 is the NKJV Version of the Large Print and ISBN-10: 0718020359 is the NASB 1995 Updated Translation. The NASB is the one I own so will review that one.

Physically the book is large: it has the same height and width of my edition of Young's Analytical Concordance, or about 3" wider than Ryrie's Study Bible, only not as thick. It seems to weigh about the same as Ryrie too. It is indexed which is a plus. It does not appear to be a sewn binding.

The bible font is large (13 point) but not as large as a Lockman Foundation Side Column Reference NASB. The notes are probably about 11 point. It has center column references about 11 point font also. In other words, it's a readable bible but don't expect giant print.

Dr. MacArthur's book introductions and study notes are excellent: he clearly knows and loves the Word. This bible is absolutely jam-packed with information. In fact, sometimes the notes explaining the text tend to fill an entire page by themselves. The notes are comprised of primarily doctrinal and translational content rather than devotional meditations (I personally bought a Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Large Print for devotional reading ISBN-10: 0718014626, sold here at reasonable cost on Amazon.)

When I am seriously immersing myself in study, I like MacArthur along with me - no question about it. Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Study Bible, November 6, 2007

By 

Ralph's Gal "Lover of Life" (At the Beach, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The MacArthur Study Bible: Large Print Edition (Hardcover)

This bible was a gift for my husband. Previously we were using a Life Application Study Bible,(which is also a great study bible) but we joined a new church that reads out of the NAS bible. After a lot of comparison I decided on the MacArthur Study Bible, and what a terrific choice. The large print makes for easy reading. The format and notes by John MacArthur give a clear understanding of The Word, how to apply The Word to our daily lives, and how to share The Word with others.
If your church uses the NAS version, I highly recommend the MacArthur NAS study bible.

While a positive or glowing review of the MacArthur Study Bible will not be strange...the fact that there is large print version...is a blessing to those who have issues reading the oft small font on many other Bibles...

Highly recommended...and clear like an autumn sky!
