Bible Question (short): Study Bible |
Question (full): I would like to know your thoughts on study bibles with commentaries in terms of do you feel that they should be avoided to prevent any bias influence of the commentators and rely on none other than the Holy Spirit for the understanding of scripture, or otherwise? I have ran into some concerns with my own study bible, such as commentators using non biblical documents, although similar to events in the bible, some historical fact and otherwise to shed light on biblical truth which concerns me. Also, I feel that you run the risk of someonse elses interpretation that may not be completely accurate. I've been encouraged to only study from a bible that only uses cross references so that you are able to use scripture to interpret scripture in parallel. |
