Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unequalled for the English reader.
Review: I recommend the Genuine Leather cover for durability. Once you delve into the deeper meanings you will open Gods door many many many times. Be sure to view the appendices for a richer understanding of The Word. All other bible versions pale in comparison to The Companion Bible (KJV).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The only study bible worth reading.
Review: The Companion Bible is the only study bible to give God's true meanings behind the scripture. All other study bible commentaries are worthless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most complete and accurate study I have ever read.
Review: Never have I seen such and intense study of the whole bible in one volume. It is a absoute must for the library of anyone who wants an accurate and intense study without having to refer to five or six different books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Some useful stuff, but I'd take Scofield over it any day
Review: _

Strengths: Dispensational/Pre-millenial in Theology, has a Biblical chronology, special type for O.T. quotations in the N.T., the 198 appendices contain plenty of useful information (pretty good overall), nice book/passage structures which are handy, some fairly good notes on verses here and there. Some of the nice things about the genuine leather edition I have is the sewn binding and two ribbon markers which are nice to have-- never seen any other study Bible like it. The margins are not exactly "wide" but they do leave enough space to write in your own cross references.

Weaknesses: Hyper-dispensational-- Bullinger eliminates water baptism and the Lord's supper as proper church age practice, and considers only the prison epistles to be church age doctrine-- (this is not strongly emphasized by Bullinger however), and sometimes has the habit of splitting splits till there's only splinters (some "wrongly dividing the word of truth")! The critical notes are a waste of paper-- subjective and basically garbage, many of the marginal notes get in the way more than help (usually being information that is either obvious or not true). A better way to fill the space taken up by the critical notes would have been a nice set of cross references, which this study Bible lacks. Hyper-dispensational theology makes Bullinger absolutely incapable of making practical application from a passage (also reeks of dead-orthodoxy here and there due to Bullinger's hyper-Calvinism).

Comments: This is a study Bible I'd get if I already had something really good (like an old Scofield Reference Bible), and wanted some extra notes as a supplement. I would not recommend investing in the Companion Bible as your only study Bible. Some people wouldnt have anything to do with it, period, but I have the policy of not limiting my sources when it comes to study. You could get stuff a lot worse than the Companion Bible, but I wouldnt say this is exactly the best. My description may have sounded a bit negative, but I give it 3 stars-- better than "fair" but not "great."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Bible is a must.
Review: This Bible is a must for anyone who wants to know what God truely said and what He meant by it. Unlike the majority of study Bibles available today, the information it contains consists of facts and phenomena and not a human's comentary (although the appendixes in the back of the Bible are studies done by Mr. Bullinger and do contain some commentary.) The parrallel column in the Old Testament contain notes taken from the Massorah (compiled by Ginsburg, but written during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah) that are pertinent to the understanding of the Scripture. At this time the Companion Bible is the only source for the English reader of the Massoretic text. This work will help you to discover what, "Thus saith the Lord" and why.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great study Bible for people who seek the truth.
Review: I study from many Bibles but I find myself continualy reaching for the Companion Bible. I thank the Lord for Mr.Bullinger's acomplishment in a work truly inspired by God himself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE most complete one source reference bible I have seen.
Review: The late E. W. Bullinger has summed up his life long devotion to scriptural authority by his comments and cross references incorporated in one volume. Even using all of the lexicons and commentaries in my library, I rely on this one source for 90% of all my studies. A must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Study Bible
Review: This Bible is unsurpassed as a tool for serious Bible students. The information on the languages and figures of speach in this Bible makes it a must have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this Bible!
Review: This is the second Bible I buy this year. I love this version. Very informative commentaries. The layout and binding is superb!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant notes with a vast knowledge of history & language
Review: Few resources can compare in brilliance to Bullinger's study Bible. His approach illustrates why so many people believe in the divine inspiration of the Bible. An authority on the biblical languages and an expert on ancient history, his chronologies and background materials alone are worth the price. The Companion Bible has provided me with hundreds of hours of enjoyment and edification.
