Summary: Truly Excellent
Comment: This Bible is excellent. It is practical in the commentary it offers you, expanding the true sense of a single word or phrase clearly so you can apply it to your daily life.
At the beginning of each book there is a section that details who wrote it, why, when, where, how it applies to us today, what we see of Jesus in the book and so on - these sections are excellent and give you just enough background to understand the text even more.
It is clear that that the authors of the commentaries are not just theologians - they are in love with Jesus, and this comes through in their writing. Its layout is easy to understand and full of references that can take you on your own study throught the bible.
The translation has meant that very little is lost, though sometimes I have find it hard to lay hold of all that is being said as the vocab has not been overly simplified. You could argue, however, that there nothing wrong with that!
I find it hard to find much to fault this Bible. The simplicity of the layout and the useful insertions and commentaries have made it so easy to read and ENJOY the Bible!
P.S.Used in conjunction with a New Living Translation (NLT) the text becomes even more clear and applicable to your life!

Summary: Commentaries often offer opinion as indisputable fact
Comment: The book itself is very handsome and well put together. However, this bible is chocked full of commentaries, including many right in the text, which make it very difficult to read. Also, unless you have a very strict fundamentalist background (Pat Robertson is one of the authors of the commentaries) you will quickly become annoyed with the substance of these commentaries, because they present sometimes contorted interpretations of the text as indisputable fact. Only buy this book if you want someone else to do the thinking for you, instead of trying to read and learn the Word for yourself (which is a big mistake, in my opinion).

Summary: My Favorite Bible!
Comment: When I shopped for a Bible with study helps to assist me in bridging the cultural, linguistic, and geographical gaps between now and then, I compared many texts. Most had theological opinions in them which are not in accordance with what the Scriptures speak! This study Bible I found to be objective and exegetical and truly helpful in nurturing a devotional life while not misleading the reader into dispensationalism like Scofield and all the rest. My favorite!!
