5.0 out of 5 stars Scofield III NASB Will Last You a Lifetime of Use!!!!, September 21, 2007

This review is from: The Scofield® Study Bible III, NASB: New American Standard Bible (Leather Bound)

In a world flooded with cheap, poorly constructed Bibles from Thomas Nelson and Zondervan - this Oxford Scofield III NASB is a wonderful example of what Bible Printing should be.

1) The Pages are actually folded in sections and sewn into the binding. This process is often referred to as "smyth-sewn" and ensures that this Bible will stand up to years of use and study. (Thomas Nelson and Zondervan cheaply glue single pages onto a flimsy cardboard backing. This ensures that your Bible pages will fall out after even moderate use of your scriptures.)

2) The quality of paper is also excellent and will stand up to prolonged use. The paper is a pleasing white and is supple and flexible to the touch. (The inferior paper used by most American Bible publishers is prone to tearing and discoloration).

3) The quality of the Leather cover is also good and is sturdy while still being flexible (Genuine Leather). It should break in nicely over the years. The information that came with my Bible said they use either pigskin or cow hide.

4) The Scofield study notes consist of book outlines, chapter headings, in-text maps, verse explanations, and verse chain references. The balance between text and commentary is about 60/40. Those of you used to the Macarthur Study Bible may be a bit disappointed.

I also recommend: Scofield III ESV (English Standard Version)
Scofield III NKJV
Scofield III KJV

I do not recommend the Scofield III HCSB (Holman Christian Standard Bible) The translation is too watered down like the NIV. Sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING VALUE, September 15, 2008

This review is from: The Scofield® Study Bible III, NASB: New American Standard Bible (Leather Bound)

Wow! I just recieved my long awaited bible, I couldnt wait to get it! The value for this bible is unbeliavable. The leather is very nice, soft but smooth,and yes, this bible although it doesnt state it, has tabs too!
Its beautiful, the inside presentation pages are even nice. The pages are threaded together so its durable. I am very pleased. I have several translations of the bible, because I teach bible study. All my bibles are leather... I prefer leather because they lay open nice and last longer. This is by far the nicest leather of all of them, and cost the least of all my bibles. I am not very fond of study bibles, sometimes the extra stuff in it is not useful and is just opinions. I wanted a NASB since it is one of the most literal translations, so I researched which would have what I needed in a study bible. This one was perfect. Next to my open study bible, which I love except the fact that its NKJ, this is my new favorite study bible. I recommend you buy it!

This review is from: The Scofield Study Bible III, NASB: New American Standard Bible (Imitation Leather)

This is exactly what I wanted when I ordered a study Bible. The pages are not too thin and the cover is a nice imitation leather with a zipper. There is a ribbon to mark your page and the text is readable. It is well worth the money.
