5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!
Such a great resource! Sooo many footnotes, cross references, and explanations of Biblical context! This has helped me so much already, and makes me excited to understand more of the Bible 😁
5.0 out of 5 stars Useful study Bible to learn about the cultural history of the past.
Helpful to understand the context of the stories in the Bible. Has pictures and illustrations. It says large text, but the text isn't as large as you might hope for, so it may be difficult for those with poor eyesight. It is easier to read than some other Bibles that have smaller text. The pages are not see through so that also helps, as some Bibles have thin pages that the words on the back of the page show up on the front which makes reading difficult. This Bible has a ton of notes and that is why it's so big and heavy. I'm definitely going to use it as a study aide, but not as my primary Bible.I also recommend the NAB Revised Edition Bible as another excellent study Bible that has notes in it and citations of other scripture to cross reference. Comparing the two, the NAB has more books since it is a Catholic Bible, has smaller text, but has more concise notes as the notes were condensed and written with collaboration by dozens of Religious text experts. Contrasting to the the NIV Study Bible, which has only 2 editors, but has more notes, pictures in color, and notes that are written in an academic tone. It has more historical background notes and cultural commentary than the NAB Bible.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Bible and Reference.
It's big and a bit heavy to carry around, but at home, it is the best reference I've found.The NIV translation take up about the upper half of each page (sometimes less). The bottom half is footnotes. These footnotes provide context to the referenced passages.I was using the Oxford Companion to the Bible as my go-to reference when I had questions about what I was reading, but this has replaced it.
5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable masterpiece.
This Bible is like a miracle to me. Understanding context of the culture is very useful and inspirational. There is a very fine concordance included and maps. I am overjoyed it came timely and in good condition well packed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Editors' Vast Knowledge Is a Winner
A single-source treasure on understanding the cultural background of The Bible. One of the editors is a longtime professor of the Old Testament, and the other has filled the same role concerning the New Testament. The result is vast knowledge, instant credibility, and an inspiring collection of articles, illustrations, and maps apart from the Bible text itself. This book has outstanding value!
4.0 out of 5 stars Not An Abundance of Traditional or Cultural References
A study Bible for home or office. Not really for taking to Bible studies or meetings. Pretty thick. Commentary takes up about 30% of each page (the reason for its thickness). There is a bit of cultural references; however, I was hoping for background on the traditions of the times, like why it was so shocking that the Edomites encouraged the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem (they were blood relatives of the Israelites), why oil was given or poured on the head of your guests, etc. The commentary is very good, but not the book for which I was searching.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to my resource shelf
I love to use various translations and study bibles. I get a deeper understanding and this cultural bible in NIV translation is perfect. I already have NASB, NIV, CSB and ESV study bibles. The inserts and comments of historical artifacts and locations really helps bring the biblical world alive. I highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely detailed and well worth adding to your library
Quotations by the Saviour are in red, so you know immediately they are His. Each chapter and book has detailed information. It is wonderful to just browse through to absorp the culture of the time, even if you do not read the scriptures. A must for any basic library, and a delight for those who want researched background information and scripture lovers alike. I thank the contributors who have enriched this version without distorting the basic message and text.
Content is what matters but...
Arrived with tear on the sleeve
Great insight you don't get with other study bibles
Cultural bibles are fantastic and thinn everyone should have one. Also has archaeological aspects as well, and was considering buying one of those but would highly recommend.Great sections where it goes into detail on certain traditions etc. Well worth the money.
Love this Product!
Really interesting study Bible. I should have bought this Bible a long time ago to inform me of the cultural background of the Old Testament.
Great bible even just for historical purposes
This is a well thought out bible. The notes are not too small, and lots of context while respecting the other cultures of ancient mesopotamia. The pictures are great too. Jesus words in red.Only thing missing is no ribbons for bookmarks.
very good
The cultural backgrounds helps reading the stories of the Bible in their cultural setting and provides therefore a better understanding of Scripture.
