This is the King James Version of the NIV Study Bible--the notes are basically identical, just adapted to the KJV wording. The notes and references are plentiful--some may say there are too many! Nearly every verse of the Bible is covered with a comment or outline of some type. While this is a conservative study bible, sometimes other more liberal interpretations are listed along with the conservative position. Besides the copious and helpful notes, there is a subject index, concordance, and colored maps and a historical timeline. Interspersed throughout the entire Bible are pertinent maps, charts, outlines, etc. The KJV Study Bible also has brief word definitions or substitutions for outdated words listed in the center column, which is helpful if you prefer the KJV but stumble on some of the wording.

The binding and pages are typical Zondervan---cheap and not likely to hold up long. I have the large print edition; the print is wonderful to read, but of course makes this book HUGE and heavy--not a Bible to carry around.

All in all, this study bible will give you hours and hours of reading and study pleasure.

First of all, I love to study the Word of God. It is practically all I do in my free time as of late. To do that, I need a Study Bible that gives me extensive notes, maps, charts, tables, etc. that let me know just about everything I really need to know all in one book.

There is only one book that has stood up to my expectations and has given me all that I have wanted for the most part. It is the Zondervan KJV Study Bible. Not only is it the classic King James Version (in my opinion, the most accurate) but I get all that I want. The notes are rich in content and will satisfy anyone who likes to delve into Scripture. The tables and charts help explain major aspects of Scripture that are in best expressed in that format. At the beginning of the book, they even include a time line that presents the major Biblical events from Abraham to Christ.

This has got to be the ultimate of ultimate Study Bibles!! (For those of you who enjoy the NIV, there is also a Study Bible by Zondervan that gives you the exact same content that this Study Bible does.)

The Thompson Chain Reference KJV has been my primary Bible since 1984. Based on a desire to dig deeper and get more perspective, I started to look for an additional Bible.

The Zondervan KJV Study Bible has been a great choice. I went with the same translation to keep a continuity when cross-referencing.

The Study Bible has great resources, specifically book introductons, center column reference, and study notes at the bottom of the page.

In the near future, I am hoping to add a NASB (Life Application or possible Classic Reference) and an Amlified Bible to the library. This is not out of inadequacies with this Study Bible - just as glimpses into additional resources.

Bottom-line: I would encourage looking into any Zondervan Study Bible, regardless of translation. The Zondervan site ( http://www.zondervan.com ) has also been a great tool when looking for a good fit for my Bible needs.

Nearly every verse has detail comments and they are very teachable useful tools.

So much information given and very available. So many illustrations, maps of journeys, temple constructions etc. Plenty of subjects and color maps at the end of the bible.

Will presented, very thought through and highly recommend this KJV self study bible

I am a fairly new Believer, and in the past have study with the NIV version of the bible. I have thorougly enjoyed the KJV because I feel as though the essence of what GOD was ( and is ) speaking has been preserved. Even in the language, the bible is very easy to follow, and the footnotes help if you feel you don't quite understand. The layout is very concise, yet easy to adapt to. I love this Bible.

I Was looking for a King James study Bible and purchased this one and was I surprised. The notes are in the correct locations. I bought a large print and it was large and dark. The paper is thin but it posses not problem. The binding was fantastic I was just so impressed with content etc., I know when I wear this out if I ever do I will buy another one.

Trying to find a good bible is like trying to find a good mattress. Some feel better than others and other people prefer other brands. This bible is very nice and now that I've owned it a few years I can say it was well worth the price.

The Zondervan KJV Study Bible I ordered was the exact bible I was looking for. It has the study notes, maps, ect I needed. Thank you for the quick service.

This book helps me to see a clear picture of I read about in the Bible. This book is very helpful to me. Of what I read so far, it has opened my understanding.

I recently purchased this Bible to enhance my studies. I prefer the Old Scofield for the subject chains that it has but am pleasantly satisfied with the commentary provided by Zondervan.
