Very trivial question....I am considering Bible purchase. I love NASB, does anyone have any opinion of the Inductive Study Bible? It is a study Bible put together by Precept Ministries. I would appreciate in-put from those who have examined this study Bible, have used it, or currently use it. I am looking for comments on durability of the body as well. I travel quite often and I am 'hard' on a Bible. We all know how expensive buying a new Bible can be so in a nut shell, do you like the NISB layout and is the structure sturdy? Thanks, Cuddle |

Cuddle, some years ago I shelled out the shekels for an Inductive Study Bible and frankly didn't like it very much, although I do have a certain respect for the idea of studying the Bible using the inductive approach championed by Kay Arthur. It was all those colored pencils and involved color codings of Scripture passages that drove me up the wall. I'm not the neatest craftsman on the block and it didn't take me long with all those brightly colored pencils to make an inglorious mess of what began as a well-printed and sensibly designed Bible. This idea of color coding reminds me too much of the Rainbow Bible, from which I stay away as far possible. I love the colors of the rainbow but feel they were meant for rainbows and not Bibles :-) ..... For what it's worth, I hit upon an alternative to the Inductive Study Bible that has served my purposes. I bought a copy of Kay Arthur's little book called, "How to Study Your Bible." She lays down her ideas of inductive study fairly well in this book, and the principles of inductive study can, of course, be applied to any edition of any translation. I don't clutter up any Bible that I own by writing in it -- no marginal notes and no highlighting or underlining. I do jot down notes with some frequency, but I do my jotting in a separate place, in a notebook/journal sort of thing. ..... Your concerns on the durability of Bibles being printed today are well taken. Unfortunately some publishers charge premium prices and deliver poor quality merchandise. I have a copy of the NASB single-column reference edition in large (11 point) print, bound in soft and supple calfskin leather, with Smythe-sewn spines instead of being slapped together with a glob of glue, that has proved durable, but it's a bit pricey. It's printed and bound by Foundation Publications, an arm of the Lockman Foundation. ..... I don't find your question trivial in the least, Cuddle. Believe me, I've seen scores of questions on SBF that were "farer trivialer than ewers"! --Hank | ||||||

Thank you ever so much Hank. I think the Bible I carry now is the NASB you have (calf skin) My husband bought it for me years ago. Its durabilty has amazed me. It is the pages I have worn. I am not as restrained as you I love the wide margins! I write thoughts and kinda my own commentary to the verses as I study. I love word studies and often write what I learn in those in the margin. I agree with you about coloring. I am some what familar with that part of Kay Arthur's approch. My plan was to apply the charts and maps I have seen in the NISB and the introduction to chapters and so forth. The method without the colors I guess. Thanks for the input. Cuddle |

Cuddle, I think perhaps you and I got off to a bad start when you first started posting to the Forum. The fault is mine. I frequently come across sounding harsher and more critical than I intend to. I apologize if I offended you in any way. I've been reading your posts with interest and hope that you will consider me your friend and ally. Grace and peace, John |
