I have a study Bible other than this one .. But this one is by far the best and most complete study Bible I have come in contact with .. I am over 65 yrs old and have studied the Bible for years. I am very pleased with this selection. If you are looking for a Study Bible .. I highly recommend the Nelson's NKV Study Bible. Amazon is the place to get a great price.

First of all, please let me say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" to Thomas Nelson Publishers for giving me the opportunity to review this wonderful Bible!

Something you should know about me is that I have two Life Application Study Bibles, one in the New International Version (NIV) that I have had over 20 years and my newest that I received this past Christmas is a New Living Translation (NLT).

Study Bibles add so much to the study of scripture vs. just the reading of it, and the Modern Life Study Bible certainly will be a resource I continue to use during my study time.

Some things I love about this Bible:

*  NKJV.  I have never read the NKJV and was a little wary!  I grew up reading the traditional KJV and was very challenged by the style of writing.  Although the NLT version is my current favorite, and how easily understandable it is has really created a love of reading the Word, I was so pleasantly surprised by the NKJV.  It, too, is easy to understand but with the traditional weights, measures, etc.
*  "Focus" sections.  Whereas the Life Application Bibles will normally "dissect" a single verse, the Modern Life Study Bible focuses on a section of scripture.
*  Maps.  They are everywhere in this Bible!  They give a greater perspective on the events taking place.  (For instance, in studying Esther, I had no idea that Susa was so close (150 miles?) to Ur, the hometown of Abraham.  Sometimes I forget how small the Middle East is!)
*  "Insight" sections.  These sections include maps, charts, diagrams and extra bits of information.  What an incredible resource!
*  Character profiles.  Those profiles are a brief synopsis of main character's background and gives some extra understanding of that person.  In addition, "modern" believers like Corrie Ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Charles Spurgeon, and many others are profiled as examples of faith in action.
 *  Color. Color. Color!  I love the use of color!  It is everywhere in this Bible, from the Chapter title pages, maps, character profiles, timelines, etc.

So in short, I highly recommend this Bible and am thrilled to now have a copy of my own.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I was provided a free copy of this book by Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my honest opinion.

I've been pretty happy with it so far.  It was one of only two highly recommended Interlinear Bibles according to consumer reviews and the other one in NKJ version was out of print and getting very expensive if you wanted it in new condition hardbound.  The used one of that edition was in not advertised condition, so I sent it back, and I bought this one instead.  I have to say, I like it, the dictionary at the back is very useful as is having both translations of NASB, NIV, and the current Interlinear version.  Its also nicely bound and will give you many years of service, so I highly recommend it, especially for the money.

I have always liked NKJV best, so when looking for this kind of ''color' study Bible it's between this and Thomas Nelson. From the sample pages, i thought this one would be best. But drawbacks are the baby blue verse numbers and footnote references. The lower case italic baby blue a, b, c's are so faint i need to shine a bright light on it and squint to find cross references in the center columns. Seems they could have done better. The footnotes themselves are usually adequate to add historical comments or comparisons to other scriptures. Sometimes silent on controversial or disputed points that may be found in other translations. Charts, photos and tables of infirmation are good and helpful. Book introductions are filled with information I hadnot read before. It's a heavy book to hold, but I use it everyday. So I must like it overall, but only 3 stars due to the lthography issues mentioned. Too bad, because it is a good Bible otherwise,

Very easy to understand the scripture by reading the thoughts of the author. Can then make own decisions,
agreeing or not. It is my favorite study bible, and I have many. I use only those using the King James Version.
Highly recommended for those that need a little help in understanding the KJV bible. I am very happy with mine.

I am very pleased with the Jewish study Bible. It is a great resource for personal study or for teaching.

I just received my copy of Thomas Nelson's new single-column NKJV Bible in genuine leather. I own a fair number of Bibles, but this is now my favorite. Reading the Bible with this edition is, simply, a pleasure.

Outside: This Bible is lovely. The genuine leather cover is remarkably supple and soft. After a little breaking in, the Bible opens flat and stays open. My only complaint is that I wish the spine said something like "HOLY BIBLE" instead of what it actually says: "NKJV SINGLE COLUMN BIBLE." But I can live with that.

Inside: The New King James Version, a fairly literal, conservative translation, in contemporary English, set in a very readable modern typeface, with minimal footnotes and no references. The text is, as the spine says, in a single column, with each paragraph set apart as a paragraph, and poetry set out as poetry (imagine!) Each chapter is given a helpful, descriptive title. In other words, everything has been done to make this edition a reading pleasure, with distracting notes kept to a minimum.

All in all, a joy to read. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson for finally getting it right.

As a casual reading Bible, this Bible is very good.  As a basic study Bible, I would not recommend it.  I am glad I purcahsed it.  It makes some of the old tried and true scriptural passages come to life in an exciting and interesting way without corrupting the text.  I like it.  It will not replace the NKJV for me, but it is worth the $9.99 to load to your electronic reader.  Grow in Christ!

The Nelson's Pocket Reference is very helpful in finding Bible verses in New King James Version. The book material is of very good quality. Print size is smaller than standard but still very clear.

The NSAB Visual Reference Bible is a very nice Bible. The text size is very readable, yet the Bible itself is compact enough to carry with you at all times. I find the quality to be very good as with most Thomas Nelson products. The (updated) NASB translation is one of my favorite translations and this Bible actually exceeded my expectations. Be aware that this is not a "Study Bible", rather it is a Bible with reference notes rather than study notes.
It is too bad these NASB "Visual Reference" Bibles are getting hard to find.

The NIV Life Application Study Bible is great BUT I've definitely appreciated upgrading to get the BEST one, which is the exact same on the inside as this product but has a genuine leather cover (rather than bonded leather) AND indexed thumb tabs to make finding the books of the Bible easier. This 'best' one is available here on Amazon for just a few dollars more -- find it, and my full review, at:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/NIV-Life-Application-Study-Bible-New-International-Version/dp/0310934028/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">NIV Life Application Study Bible (New International Version)</a>.

This is a handy bible to toss in my bag that I carry to work, the library, etc. Being in the Army National Guard, I appreciate the rugged, durable cover and the look of it. It's a decent translation, basically a conservative evangelical modernization of the revised standard version. I would recommend this bible to friends.

I have always enjoyed the NIV Study Bible.  I like the NIV version, and the study notes are helpful.  Some of the study notes are slanted toward certain denomination views, but knowing that, you can pick and choose what is helpful.  Overall, the study notes are great.  Since my recent cataract surgery, I have been wanting a Bible with larger print.  I was concerned about a rating below saying that the print bleeds through the paper and that the red print is really pink, etc.  I did not find that to be true at all with the one I received.  The paper is not so thin that you see the print from the opposite page.  The red print is definitely red, and the black print definitely black.  Very easy to read -- even the study notes.  I did not have the option of selecting the leather color.  I received a Navy leather Bible and was very glad.  Had I been offered the opportunity, I would have wanted Navy or Burgundy over Black.  Hope this recommendation is helpful to you.

I really love my ESV STUDY BIBLE. Now that I'm old with arthritis I was not able to use study bibles anymore. This is such a good translation of the Bible, and with it on my Kindle Fire I can still read and study the Word every day. I feel the study notes are very good and helps me to see things I did not know before. I give this Book five stars. Yes, I would highly recommend it.

The New King James Foundation Study Bible published by Thomas Nelson, is a valuable addition to anyones library or desk.  I opened to the book of Genesis and was impressed to see the clear type and frequent headings which make the text easy to read. It was easy to locate specific verses.  At the bottom of each page, study notes give explanations of the various topics on that page.  In my reading in Genesis, for example, Genesis 3:22 speaks of the tree of life in a perfect Eden. The reference at page bottom defines the tree of life, and sends you to Revelation 22:2 where we learn that this same tree that sustained Adam and Eve will be planted anew with its leaves used for the healing of nations. From Genesis to Revelation, Gods word is presented in an accessible format.  In addition, this Bible has many features to facilitate an efficient Bible study session. The words of Jesus are identified in red type.  A Theological Notes Index is a guide to particular topics such as Knowing the will of God or Kindness.  A Concordance directs you to germane verses, and Bible maps are also available.  Therefore, this KKJV Foundation Study Bible is ideal for individual devotions, but is also useful for in-depth study as one prepares for Bible teaching. I highly recommend this Bible.  It should become a valued addition to your reference bookshelf, and youll take it off that shelf frequently to nourish yourself with Gods holy word.  I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the words here are my own.

This is a fantastic Bible. It has wonderful footnotes it as well as introductory pages for each book in the Bible.  I highly recommend Dr. Jeremiah's Bible. I bought the NKJV as it is easy to read and understand.  I do avoid NIV Bibles as they have too many errors in them.
