Favorite Study Bibles.
 

Most bible readers and bible students have a bible that they use for devotional and casual reading and then they have one they cherish for study.

What is your favorite study bible,and why ? I have a small bible collection and I enjoy hearing what bibles other use and favor ?

Re: Favorite Study Bibles.
 

King James because basically that what I grew up with, memorized as a child; so it's easier to find my scriptures from words that are in my head from the KJV.

I love The Holman bibles. I read different translations.I use The Holman Bibles for study because they have center column references.
BeenThinking do you have a preference like Thompson Chain Nelson,Ryrie Scofield or one like that ?

Re: Favorite Study Bibles.
 

King James only.

Re: Favorite Study Bibles.
 

Thompson Chain, for all of it's references and helps. May not agree with all of the helps, but what's new! Also like Scofield.

I used the Oxford Wide Margin Study Bible for many years when I was preaching and teaching every week. The column references were good - but pretty standard. That's where the wide margins came in. Over time I transposed much of RA Torry's Treasure of Scriptural Knowledge cross references along with my Greek word studies and a great deal of OP doctrinal material.

pelathais...You had to put the OP doctrinal material in the Bible because it wasn't there?? Is that what you were sayin'! :heeheehee :girlytantrum Just kidding!

I own a Thompson Chain,and it's great but I love The Center Column reference bibles the most.It's just personal preference but the way the Thompson Chain is laid out is not my cup of tea.I love comparing the scripture with scripture.

Currently I am reading the bible all the way through using The Holman Christian Standard version,I'm certainly not KJV only.I do own quite a few KJV bibles though.

Re: Favorite Study Bibles.
 

I have a study Bible that has a page for personal notes for every page of text. It's my absolute favorite, and I've never been able to find another quite like it. For reference I use Biblios (http://bible.cc)

The Southern Baptist convention owns the Holman publishing house,but you can buy a good genuine leather bound bible that's doesn't have commentary in it and they are very resonably priced . I have several Holman KJVS I think about 3 of those,I have. I own a Holman bible in NIV,and NASB as well.

I like The Nelson open bibles too. I have KJV and NKJV open bible. I own several Cambridge KJVS.

Re: Favorite Study Bibles.
 

I love The Holman Christian Standard Bible.

I like to mark, underline, and write in my Bibles. This is Scriptural. Reference Jeremiah 23:18 which says:
For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?


Scofield is good. (It is dispensationalist and cessationist which would be a turn off for some.) At one time I had a loose leaf Scofield and really liked it. I don't think they have been available for many years. Mine became so worn out it is unusable as a Bible. I have most of it still available in a desk drawer and every once in a while I'll get out some of the pages (the binder has not worked in years. the pages are just sorta heaped together) and check out some stuff.

The copyright on the Scofield Bible has expired and it is accessible online at

I had to buy a new Bible a little over a year ago and considered Scofield again but bought a Thompson because they give you some space in their margins to write notes and cross references. Years ago I had a pastor named F.E. Curts. He used to be a distributor for Thompson Bibles so lots of the men in that church had that one. One time he suggested to the people that published the Thompson Bible to publish a version without their notes and cross references in the margins so people could write in their own. Now, I would like that.

The Pentecostal Publishing House offers a Thompson Bible with a 32 page insert of doctrinal teaching.

My wife has a study Bible called Life In the Spirit Study Bible. It is available in KJV or NIV. I would recommend it and I've given away some of them to people.

I have a copy of The Spirit Filled Life Bible. I used to keep it at work (General Electric) and used there in Bible Study classes and just for reading. I would recommend it also. I've also given away some copies of it. Mine was NKLV. I don't know if it is available in other versions or not. I notice that there is a new edition out with the term "New" in the title
