NKJV, MacArthur Study Bible, Blue Cloth over Board, Comfort Print: Unleashing God's Truth One Verse at a Time (Holy Bible, New King James Version)

great notes that include historical facts .. cross references to other verses that contain similar mesage .. reading the word is great but this version helps you understand the overall picture

The Bible is made of genuine leather. It's just as it's described. It's sturdy and will last for many years. I bought it for my son and he loved it. The study sections have good information. Love the MacArthur Study Bible.

great easy carry study bible. A lot of detail and study notation, recommend

Love this book. It’s truly amazing for reading and studying the bible. Use it as my go to when I want to gain more insight or context into certain biblical scriptures. Well worth the money spent to have something this nice that also helps in learning the word of God.

This is a beautiful bible. I am so happy with this purchase. The leather is smooth, the pages are top quality and slightly thicker than others. The readability is super easy on the eyes. The bible opens flat when reading and the binding is superior. Macarthur is so enjoyable to me, love his videos and has brought me closer to the word. See my other reviews for the leather cover I purchased to ensure this bible is kept safe when not reading. I truly believe a must have for someone who would like a bible that will certainly be a hand down in the family.

MacArthur study bibles are some of the best references out there for mere mortals (non-theologians) that desire to study the Word in a single volume. Study bibles provide a modicum of reader resources adjacent to the biblical text, providing assistance without you having to lug other books around with you in addition to the bible. MacArthur’s annotations are often characterized as a collection of his sermon notes (they largely are) more than they represent an exhaustive concordance (they are not), but for my purposes that’s fine. If I want to dive deeply or pursue chain references, I can always go to a separate concordance or other resource. This printing has a rich dark blue mock leather cover with a subtle scripted "M" on its face. That’s a huge improvement over the distracting "MacArthur" name emblazoned on a number of other MacArthur study bible printings. One of the best aspects of this particular printing is that it appears to be about half the price of nearly all the other MacArthur study bibles printings having identical features. I can’t tell why that is, but I’ll take it. Pick one of these up while they are still available at a bargain price. (NOTE: You will see a number of reviews for this item stating it is a women's study bible. Those reviews apply to the hardcover version that used to be listed on the same page. The blue softbound bible is no more oriented toward women than men.)

TEN OUT OF FIVE STARS! I absolutely love this Bible. My Husband gifted this to me for our anniversary and it has quickly taken over the use of my older Bibles. The goatskin leather is gorgeous and feels great to hold, the spine is flexible and allows it to lay flat on any page. The notes from John MacArthur are so helpful and replace the need for the commentary I was using. This is my go to Bible for my home studies. This is absolutely worth the money and I’d pay it again in a heartbeat if I had it. There is quite the noticeable difference in the covers between this and their genuine leather version. The print is dark on the pages making it easier to read so it doesn’t strain my eyes. The pages are a bit delicate but I don’t plan on using this as a note taking Bible so that doesn’t bother me. If you want thicker pages this might not be for you. If you’re on the fence, do it! You won’t regret it.

This is one of the top conservative Evangelical study bibles on the market. Although I use the ESV as much as the NKJV, and use the NASB 77 as well, the NKJV is my favorite contemporary Protestant bible translation. Personally, since I have the one volume MacArthur Bible Commentary, I actually prefer to use that and several Bible translations to using the MacArthur Study Bible. Other hold the opposite opinion. Either way is fine. John MacArthur calls himself a "leaky" Dispensationalist and a Calvinist Baptist. Many non-Calvinists have misconceptions about what standard Calvinism really is. The Five Points are only defined in opposition to the 5 points of the Dutch Arminian Remonstrance against Reformed doctrines, which was only called Calvinism because John Calvin became the foremost proponent of Reformed Protestantism. MacArthur's approach is to comment upon what the bible teaches as a whole. The classic teachings of Reformed theology are presented naturally, so the Five Points are taught among all the other Points of scriptural teaching as a logical whole. God's holiness and benevolence and goodness and righteousness and sovereignty and providence are all present in the comments. One section of the Study Bible presents doctrines topical by Scripture reference, so as to demonstrate that Reformed doctrines are just what is in the Bible when scripture is used to interpret scripture. Just look up the scriptures by topic to see what the Bible actually teaches. Lots of Christians who use the MacArthur Study Bible may not accept every single thing John MacArthur teaches, but he is such a good and effective teacher that it is still worthwhile to use this study bible.

The best Bible Study Bible for every Christian

Bijbel met veel extra informatie. Ik ben blij met mijn aankoop!

Sugiero no se subraye por respeto al contenido, todo es un deleite de lectura. ¿Cambiarán el máximo posible a adquirir por orden? Si es así se volverían ¡inigualables en el servicio!

Nice sized print. Lots of information.

Everything about this Bible, the version (NKJV), the layout, the scholarly (but entirely understandable) commentaries therein and the mammoth scope of this book will give you a huge understanding of God's Word. I did a 'Bible in one year' reading using this version and it lasted well over that year because of the in-depth comments on pretty much every verse and the 'extras' covering geography, history and introductions. I'm into my third reading and I'm always leaning new things - I would recommend this version to anyone.
