For excellent guidelines to consider when choosing a study Bible, see: "How to Choose a Study Bible," www.equip.org/free/DB135.htm You ask: "What is the very best Reference Bible?" (Short answer:) In my opinion, the very best Reference Bible is The Zondervan NASB Study Bible. (Also available in the NIV translation.) (Full answer:) Actually it's a toss-up between the Zondervan NASB Study Bible and the Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition. For this reason, I would like to point out the features of both. 1) The Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition. ISBN 0-8024-3870-9 Published by Moody Press. Available in hardcover, bonded leather, and genuine leather. I started using the original edition Ryrie in 1978. It is my personal favorite all-around use Bible, used daily to research my Questions, Answers and Notes for the Forum, and the one I use when I prepare to teach Bible classes at my church. The Ryrie is considered a subjectively oriented study Bible, conservative, dispensational. "The Ryrie Study Bible can be characterized as the Scofield Reference Bible for the end of the twentieth century . . . [it] has a strong following among evangelicals." (John R. Kohlenberger III, "How to Choose a Study Bible," www.equip.org/free/DB135.htm) 2) The Zondervan NASB Study Bible. ISBN 0-310-91092-7 Published by Zondervan. Hardcover MSRP 39.99 (but you can get it for less than that). Probably available also in bonded and genuine leather. It is a top recommendation and favorite of mine because it is very, very thorough, denominationally neutral, and packed with useful, easy-to-use information, including: translator's notes (not included in the Ryrie); over 20,000 in-text study notes, adapted from the best-selling NIV Study Bible (NIVSB is considered a subjectively oriented study Bible, conservative, evangelical); a center-column reference system with over 100,000 references; an extensive NASB concordance, and more. According to the advertising copy: "The Zondervan NASB Study Bible is hands-down the most comprehensive, up-to-date study Bible available." I feel this claim is not exaggerated. To purchase either of these NASB95 study Bibles online, see: http://www.gospelcom.net/abs/ www.christianbook.com Hope this helps. |

Greetings Kalos! I have a Ryrie SB (77 NASB). I agree the Ryrie is an excellent study bible. I have a Scofield (KJV) and like very much also. I know both come from a reform prespective on scripture, all tho probally not as strong as the McAthur Study Bible (from what I have looked at anyway as I don't have a McSB). I have a Nelson Study Bible and I would say it was neutral on most reform/free-will scripture. I am not familiar with the Zondervan NASB Study Bible. My question is, how does it compare to the other Study Bibles I have mentioned here, as far as interpretation of reform/free-will scripture. Also, how does it address modern day spritural gifts when compared to the others. Thanks bro!, retxar |
