As the leader of a Bible study, I have searched high and low for a solid NSRV study Bible. This is a really good one. It has a good introduction to each book and the subject index is very helpful. It also has recommendations for how to read each book in order to get the most out of it.

I have not been able to put this Bible down ever since I came across the paperback version a few weeks ago at a used book store! The introduction to each book of the Bible and the notes throughout help you gain a better understanding about what you are reading. I plan on ordering a hardback version for both my husband and I since we teach Sunday school. If I can find this version in large print, I will order one for my mother too. I would highly recommend this version not only to new readers of the Bible, but to anybody who is serious about learning the Bible.

This is a great student Bible. I'm a Sunday School teacher for middle- and high-school age youth, and the kids really enjoy using it. The Subject Guide in the back is comprehensive and usable. Within the texts are 'post-its' giving context to particular passages. There are Up Close discussions as well, that pose life questions that are great discussion starters. There is considerable material included to make the Bible relevant to today's student, and not just a collection of stories. How many Bibles have a reference to CS Lewis?

I found this study Bible after much searching and reviewing various study Bibles. I finally chose this Bible for my teenager and we have both been pleased. This Bible offers an overview of the history of various Bible translations, as well as an overview of Bible content and organization. Each book of the Bible begins with easy to read summaries, followed by the actual text of the Bible. In addition, there are annotations throughout the text to help today's current reader understand contextual information related to the history and culture in which the Bible was originally written. It appears to have an objective approach, which makes it of value to people with a range of personal beliefs. In addition, the summaries and annotations are visually appealing, set apart in blue boxes, and are written in an intelligent and informative manner that can be understood without a seminary degree. This Bible is apparently available in NRSV and NIV.

This bible has been used for confirmation class for several years. Very accessible. After having lost 2nd bible, bought used copy - good condition, a few highlights.

I bought this Bible because it was required for a class I took. I liked it a lot, and still use it. The 'helps' that set the scene for each book, the references...all are very good.

Have used this Bible for our adult Bible study class and found it to be an excellent read and resource. The side bar notes and commentaries are very helpful in understand context, place in time and other uinformation.
