Review: You will probably find, as I did, this bible so enlightening as it details the very important points to understand God's Word. As a pleasant addition, the Appendices are of great scope and depth. I recommend it for serious readers of the Word.
As an example of its scope and depth, just reading the starter:
"First Book of Moses... Genesis... Chapter 1, Verse 1",
brings you into several expansions in the marginal notes and appendices.
And that's just the title and the first verse!

I am a somewhat elderly son of a very elderly Baptist minister. For a great many years I have met "Christians" like him. These are those that are looking for the "only true religion/gospel", which the rest of the world knows doesn't exist. His fault finding with just about everyone he has come in contact with should be enough to warn anyone. The Jason Schaitels of this world spend enormous amounts of time "studying" the Bible and finding fault with everyone who doesn't interpret it their way. There is nothing wrong with this Bible. I have a vast library of Bibles, and scriptures of other kinds, from a wide variety of religions; religions that Jason would call "cults". I guess he doesn't know that most religions were once called cults, including my father's Baptist religion. The words "Cult" and "sect" are interchangeable. That's were we get the terms "sectarian" and "non-sectarian", words that Protestants use daily, but don't understand the meaning of. The scriptures I have are no different than the Bible reviewed here. They contain the author's results of their exercise in hermeneutics and exegesis. In other words, they have read the Bible, done their homework, and written their interpretations, which if you study various commentaries you will find very similar no matter what the Christian sect or "cult" is. The idea in studying religion is to study with an open heart, and a brain--something that is remiss with many religious critics. Pay no attention to those who decry another's religion. Read, study and understand for yourself.

Absolutely wonderful.Arnold Murray teaches the bible line by line.. he's outstanding. This is not a cult, which anyone can tell simply by studying with him. - Ever wonder where the dinosaurs came from? - UFO's? - The apple in the garden and why would God get so upset about eating an apple? - Why you are here? - Where you came from? - Who really is the Antichrist? :)
