5.0 out of 5 stars This Study Bible Contains a Small Reference Library!, March 11, 2011

This review is from: NASB MacArthur Study Bible (Hardcover)

I was looking for a New American Standard Bible translation to use for my writing which would complement my other translations at home. This hardcover edition of The MacArthur Study Bible (Updated Edition) definitely provided me so much more than just the basic, inexpensive, hardbound NASB translation that I was looking for.

The text is easy to read, printed on (thin) quality paper and is loaded with study features. Each page of my Large Print Edition is nicely arranged for study with a double-column format and relevant study notes at the bottom of each page. The notes are in a different font style so they are distinct from the biblical text. A center column on each page contains additional verse references and literal word renderings.

Some of the features include a pretty traditional set of maps, an excellent concordance and an exceptional series of charts spread throughout the Old and New Testaments, providing a tremendous amount of relevant study information. The placement of the charts and study notes on the applicable page make referencing the material much simpler than other Study Bibles, like the Thompson Chain Reference Bible and the Scofield Study Bible. A general Introduction to the Bible is also included, along with information on How We Got The Bible, How To Study The Bible and a nice explanation on how to best use the general format of this Bible. The OT and NT have an additional introduction, as well as information on the Pentateuch (First five books of the OT) and an introduction to the OT Prophets. Each book of the OT and NT also have its own individual introduction.

As you can see, this isn't your grandfather's Bible. It's a fully-equipped Study Bible with enough helpful reference material to keep you busy for quite some time! The notes and other material are written with the general reader in mind; that is, they are very helpful and you don't have to be a biblical scholar to understand it. That in itself is a big plus.

The hardcover I purchased comes with a dust jacket and because I chose the Large Print Edition, it is a rather thick, heavy book (2 1/2 inches thick). Thankfully, I don't plan on carrying it around with me, and it will stay on my computer desk at home. With such a large volume, I am concerned how well the binding will hold up over time, since it is not a stitched binding? Whether it does or not, I will add an addendum to this review later on and let you know.

I got a deal on my copy from a seller on Amazon.com (60% off -- Like New), so with the NASB translation I was looking for, all of the study notes and a bushel of reference material, it will probably come as no surprise to hear I am very pleased with The MacArthur Study Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars NASB MacArthur Study Bible, March 28, 2011

By 

Toby "R. Anderson" (Mat-Su Valley, Alaska) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NASB MacArthur Study Bible (Hardcover)

This is one of the best study Bibles that i have used and I have used many. Even if you are not a fan of MacArthur. The NASB MacArthur S B is comparable to the New ESV Study Bible. Both give you a verse by verse commentary. I like the cover better than leather. It is soft and durable. For a man the Brown and tan is not bad looking.This is a large Bible. You may not want to pack it around with you, but it is great for Bible studying. (Get a NASB Pitt Minion Reference Bible Black Goatskin NS446XR to carry to church. (sweet) Real nice and a handy size a for man or woman.)

I enjoy studying from the John McArthur Study Bible and Commentary, And I love the fact that they have printed in large print. The Theology Section and the Inroductory's are very vivid and explanatory.
