First off, I would just like to say that there is NOT a such thing as a PERFECT study Bible.

Through my much gained experience of owning and using several different study bibles, I will have to come to this sincere conclusion.

However, I must say that the standard edition of the Old Scofield Study Bible meets my expectation of one that is light-weight, concise, mostly sound, and non-practical.

If you are willing to buy a few extra studying books such as the following: Strong's Exaustive Concordance, Halley's Bible Handbook, and Smith's Bible Dictionary (ALL in opinion.), than I believe you are off to a great start.

I have never actually owned a Scofield in my entire life, although after several glances of my dear friend's, I do believe that this Bible is worth the price--especially for a thumb-indexed.

Scofield's deep, in-depth, and somewhat convicting footnotes are excellent for study. Although, he does lean toward the Gap Theory, which is the idea that the seven days of creation weren't actual 24-hour days, but consisted of several different geological time frames. This idea is not evidently false, but serves a great deal of contradiction.

My major concern, however, is if this Bible is for YOU. Take the time to visit the some websites which offer some excerpts of this Bible, browse your local book store(s) and search through it yourself, but most importantly PRAY.

God Bless.

You can't go wrong with a Scofield Bible. My previous Bible was also a Scofield, and I had so many notes written in the margins, I was forced to buy to new Bible in order to write down more. As you might expect with this Bible, the references and indexes are a wonderful study help. The thumb index allows for quick movement through the pages, the red-letter edition displays Christ's words, and I love the proper name's index in the back. The only drawback was the size of the typeface. I'm getting older, and this print was slightly smaller than my other Bible (probably a 10 or 12).

Excellent, just what I expected. It makes my bible study much more effective. This is probably the third Scofield Study Bible that I have owned in the past 18 years. I can not imagine doing bible study without my Scofield.

I bought the blue (with silver-edged pages) Scofield Bible. I take it with me to church all the time now. I like to read the commentaries and cross reference notes when I follow what the pastor is preaching/teaching. It's a well-made and beautiful Bible. I like the thumbed indexes also. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

This is an excellent Bible. However, the print is just a little bit too small for me. Otherwise it's a very good study Bible.

Just wanted to give a heads up that our Bible did NOT come with a Cd. The print is rather small but not itty bitty like a lot of the compact type Bibles are. The extra Maps & information in the Bible is wonderful & I do agree that this makes a Perfect Study Bible or just your every DAY Bible!!

Perfect. This is the way it is meant to read. My all the time bible...

A bought this for my wife who really likes the Old Scofield Study Bible. Her old one lasted 26 years. This one has the thumb index which she is pleased with, the navy color is different and she like that, and it arrived much sooner than expected or even promised.

I have gone through bibles and not really found one I love. This one is just perfect. I should have bought this one originally. My mom had an older version of this one while I was growing up.

In my opinion, this is the best study Bible available, especially for the money. Scofield is legendary in his notes, and anyone serious about studying the scriptures will need at least one Scofield within their reach.
