The Nelson Study Bible

Rating:
Summary: Clear, Comprehensive and Concise
Review: After carefully shopping and reviewing an exhaustive list of Bibles and translations, in my humble opinion, Nelson's NKJV Study Bible sets the standard by which all other Study Bibles should be measured. This is the best gift you could ever buy yourself or others... which in reality is God's best gift to us.

CLEAR - Clear, plain language explains all Christian doctrines and theologies. Verses having more than one opinion or translation are comparably presented without bias. Many pages have more study material, helps and commentary than Scripture, although, all Scripture is covered.

COMPREHENSIVE - This wonderful collection of study materials will help all readers understand the life-changing principles and teachings of God's Word. So well organized and comprehensive, you would have to take a special course to misunderstand it. The verse-by-verse descriptions, cross-references, Word Studies, In-Depth Articles, Subject Index and Concordance all work together in perfect harmony.

CONCISE - Straight and to the point. This will help anyone with an open heart and the right spirit gain an illuminating, life-changing perspective of God's Word.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only...

Summary: Clear, Consistent,and Confident
Review: I was given this BIble as a gift 5 years ago and I still read from it daily. ITs streghts lie in the fact that it is firmly evangelical and believes in the inspiration of Scripture. In the opening pages one will see that hundredrs of renown scholars have contributed to the articles and annotations. What I particularly liked about it was that it examined 'hard passages' in thier biblical context, offered the opposing views, and then gently espoused thier view based on solid exegesis. Also pf note are the word studies, in depth articles, and special excerpts that focus on a hot doctrine of SCriptre. Evem more amazing is the factt htat the scholars who contributed did not hammer their opinions down your throat, sometimes never voicing them at all! For example, many of the contributors came from Dallas Theological Seminary, yet you wil not find them throwing dispensationalism down your throat. However, the main editors, Dr. Earl Radmacher and others come from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary. Other institutions represented range from New Orleans Baptist to Princeton.
Bottom line:
I have over 20 refernece and study bibles and this one I will recommend over any, including Ryrie. This book changed my devotions and bible studies.

Review: This is the one study Bible that I have given away to young men entering the ministry. The word studies, charts, articles, and the running commentary at the bottom of every page are excellent. Cross references are consistent with the NKJ translation and are always helpful. This study Bible is not for the lazy scholar, but for serious Christians.
