I have been through just about every study Bible out there, but this is the last I'll ever bother with. Letting scripture interpet scripture is the best study method and the Thompson method is great for following scriptural ideas throughout the Bible. There are also ample other study aids and resources but the indexing system is the crown jewel. If I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one Bible this is the one I would want, without a doubt. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is there wasn't a calfskin NASB or ESV version, especially in the handy size. I love limp calfskin covers, just the way they feel in my hand when I read them. Maybe the Thompson people will read this (hint, hint) and start publishing one.

I own a Thompson Chain-Reference Bible and the biggest draw for me is that this Bible allows Scripture to interpret Scripture. Most study Bibles have the notes, thoughts and all too often the opinions of the people authoring the study Bible. Where the Thompson has chain-references on the side margin that pertain to what is in the text itself not what someone else's study-notes may imply. A very safe and fulfilling way to study God's word. I love it.

What an awesome study Bible! It combines the accuracy of the New American Standard Translation with the great study helps of the Thompson Chain Reference system.I love it!!

I love the content of this Bible. I had one before that fell apart though. I loved the Bible so much that I took a chance on buying a new one. It seems to be made better and somehow it is a little thinner. It has definitely been improved in my opinion. The chains links are the best. You can pick a subject and trace it all the way through the bible. If you want more, they give you related chains. I also love that it is not filled with opinionated commentary. Great Bible.

More expensive but worth it with the workmanship quality. The 'CoreStudy' part of this bible isn't a commentary like the others. I would suggest getting the non-tab version (ISBN 0887075169 black; 0887075185 burgundy) if you are buying at Amazon. They have more in stock and it is discounted from retail more

According to the publisher's web site

B.B. Kirkbride Bible Company

they do not publish the updated NASB '95 version,

only the original '77 version.

Since that is not mentioned anywhere here,

I thought folks might like to know.

The Thompson chain reference Bible in Black genuine leather with thumb index is the most beautiful book I have ever owned. The quality of this Bible is evident in every little detail. Thompson has a unique reference system that I really like and it doesn't add someones perspective in commentary. I wanted a good study Bible in the NASB version for home and church and this is a great one.

The Thompson Chain Reference Bible NASB is an excellant tool for study of the Bible.

The Bible is the correct version; however, it is not the color of leather that I thought I ordered.
