The hardcover, larger-print (not really large), NKJV MacArthur study bible is great on content and the type-size easier on the eyes, even if your vision is fine.

Unfortunately, it's printed on thin "see through" tissue-paper. The print on the other side is a distraction that has to be filtered out. For a study bible, thinness needn't be a driving factor compromising legibility.

The format could have been great, but slightly fell short of what the intended usage deserves.

I rate the quality of John MacArthur's commentary as a 5, whereas the PHYSICAL quality (printing/paper/binding) of this Bible is a weak 1. So I rate it overall in the mid-point *3*.

John MacArthur is a superb teacher - conservative, evangelical, down-to-earth. If you can deal with the faded print, overly small font, glued binding, and see-through paper, the commentary itself is one of the very best.

I purchased the MacAuthur Study Bible for myself about a year ago and I am still thoroughly satisfied with it. I am still studying and comparing it to the KJV in appreciation. I highly recommend the MacAuthur Study Bible to everyone. It gives a clear and accurate account/interpretation of the God's Word (KJV). Also, I recently gifted the large print version to my mother. She absolutely loves it!!!

Be Blessed,

Larger than the average carry Bible, but there are a lot of study notes in there. MacArthur is a great Bible scholar, not perfect but real good. He is able to give a good explanation without being to wordy. When I do a verse by verse study, I like to compare the comments of MacArthur, J. Vernon McGee and Dr.Henry Morris.

I originally ordered the "updated & revised" edition but did not like the thumb indexs. Had to order the earlier edition to get away from the thumb indexs and saved about $25. IHMO no differance except a few extra study aids at the rear of the Bible. The Scripture notes appear the same. I can recommend this one. Go for the large print, so much easier on the eyes.

This study Bible is an outstanding addition to the library of longstanding or new individuals interested in studying the Word of God.

The footnotes are very informative, complete, but occasionally too academic. Mac Arthur's insight is amazing - he is an incredibly bright teacher! This Bible is a great compliment to a Life Application Bible.
