    Excellent study notes! Perfect for Bible studies. I would have liked to have this as a first Bible, because I had such a struggle with the KJV. Now, I try to look up verses I learned from the NIV and am totally lost. We are not a people of verses, but of books though. I think, this is really close to the original version and less wooden than the NASV.

  • I believe that all people need to read this version of the Bible. The notes are very well written. I recommend to all, not just those who are reformed.

During the Reformation, a renewed interest in Scripture brought great light to the church and the world. In The Reformation Study Bible, general editor R. C. Sproul aims to present the light of the Reformation anew by combining an accessible translation with study notes that stand firmly in the theological tradition of the Reformation.

No other study Bible gives the reader more assistance in understanding the great doctrines and themes of the Christian faith as found in the Scriptures. Extensive notes have been researched and written by a team of more than fifty scholars, including J. I. Packer, James Boice, and Wayne Grudem.

All Christians that want to dig deeper in their study of Scripture will appreciate the bible’s many features, including section introductions, book introductions and outlines, comments on the biblical text, theological notes, charts, in-text maps, and cross-references.

The first study bible based on the English Standard Version, The Reformation Study Bible is the perfect choice for men and women that want to study God’s word in a language they can understand.
