5.0 out of 5 stars A solid, quality Bible, May 30, 2006

This review is from: NASB Giant Print Reference, Personal Size (Leather Bound)

First of all, the New American Standard Bible is a wonderful translation; the updated version made it even better. Zondervan puts their NASB text in paragraph form, unlike the Foundation's editions. This does add to the ease of reading and comprehension.

The print in this edition is large, not giant, but comfortable to read. What stands out most is the darkness of the print, both black and red, that also contributes to ease of reading.

The center column references are quite thorough with many optional readings of words and passages in the text. Therefore, this is an excellent study Bible. The concordance, too, is better than most.

Foundation Publications and Zondervan both publish giant or large print editions of the NASB. I find this edition to be the most practical of them all, having purchased all four. Its size is the most convenient, fitting well in the hand. The center column references and translation notes are very helpful, and again it it very comfortable to read.

Zondervan has published a good quality Bible. The bonded leather is quite nice and the Bible is sturdily bound. I really enjoy mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reaching Biblical Proportions, December 18, 2006

By

This review is from: NASB Giant Print Reference, Personal Size (Leather Bound)

This edition reaches "Biblical Proportions" or more appropriately the printed text is proportionally sized for comfortable reading! The "Large Print" is large but not overbearing and thus makes reading more palatable on the eyes and reduces fatigue and strain allowing longer intervals of reading time without becoming tired. The binding and quality of materials used in this edition is top notch. They did not skimp and publish a flimsy book but rather published a sturdy book. I like the translation and the layout of the printed words. This is a good edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value!, October 24, 2008

This review is from: NASB Giant Print Reference, Personal Size (Leather Bound)

The NASB is a highly accurate translation, and the cross-references and translators' notes in this edition make it a great choice for solid Bible study. For a relatively small-sized Bible the large print (which is also dark and bold) is amazing. The words of Christ in red are aesthetically pleasing, and a helpful tool in locating certain passages. This Bible is sewn (not glued) so lays flat on the table. For the price it is amazing value. I've got the burgundy bonded-leather edition. If you already know your way around the Bible DON'T get the indexed edition, as it will just slow you down and get in the way!!! Yes, the wording of the NASB is a little awkward at times as it tries to render the Hebrew and Greek as literally as possible. Try using it along with the New Living Translation (2nd Edition) which is fresh and dynamic, and will provide added clarity to certain passages of Scripture. God bless!
