Bible Question:
Oxford Study Bible (RSV) vs. New Oxford Annotated Bible (NRSV)--which one is the better choice and why? I am more interested in the notes than the actual text, I already have NRSV. I would like to know if anyone has both of these, if the notes are significantly different, and if I should get one, the other, or both? I am also planning on purchasing the Harper-Collins Study Bible. Thanks in advance. |
Bible Answer: Dear Elaine :: You asked whether you should get the Oxford Study Bible (RSV) or the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NSRV), or both. How about neither? ..... There are better and more conservative study Bibles and truer translations available than either of these. Here are some recommendations for your consideration. ..... The MacArthur Study Bible, available in either the NASB or NKJV ..... The Reformation Study Bible, in the English Standard Version (ESV), edited by R. C. Sproul .... The King James Study Bible, published by Nelson ..... Ryrie Study Bible, in the King James or the New American Standard (NASB) ..... The Believer's Study Bible, edited by W. A. Criswell, (NKJV), published by Thomas Nelson. ....... I recommend any of these Study Bibles over either of the Oxfords and the Harper-Collins; and any of the translations over the RSV and NRSV. --Hank |
