Bible Question: Can someone please tell me what the Pros and Cons are the the "Life Application Study Bible". Is there any thing I should know, good or bad before I buy one. |
Bible Answer: Hello, The Life Application Study Bible is a really good study Bible to own. Some of the pros are that it has some good, detailed notes, maps, and charts. It has some good scholorship behind it. I would recommend getting it in the NIV, NKJV, or NASB. I would recommend that you stear clear of the NLT. The NLT is mistranslated in some critical areas. Also, The NLT is designed to be a dynamic equivolance or thought for thought translation. These type of translations don't make good study translations and Bibles. As for the cons for the Life Application Bible, the only one I can think of is at times you have an inch of scriptural text, and the rest of the page is taken up in notes. After a while, it gets tedious. Jesusman |
