Solid Study Bibleby TedMichaelMorgan
Reader Rating:
July 19, 2009: This is a solid study Bible. The editors are top-notch students of the Bible, well known for their creative biblical criticism. Excellence and importance marks their individual scholarly work. Some of this scholarship emerged in innovative streams of modern scholarship such as gender studies and scripture.
The contributors include a large assemblage of distinguished scholars. I find this study Bible more theological driven than other ecumenical study Bibles that use the New Revised Standard Version text. Nevertheless, the varied academic backgrounds and diverse traditions of contributors impress me. A study Bible is always somewhat limited simply because there is much to explore in study of scripture. However, the notes are extensive for a study Bible. The excursuses summarize important themes. The aim behind this study Bible differs from that of the famous Oxford Study Bibles that use either the Revised Standard Version or the New Revised Standard texts or either edition of the Harper Collins Study Bible. I think it applies directly to Christian study of scripture. I do not use this study Bible as often as I use some of the other study Bibles I own. I think that is simply because I think less about scripture from doctrinal points-of-view than I once did. I think this is a good study Bible for pastors to use in church Bible studies they conduct. In addition, I think Sunday school teachers would find it helpful. I fault Abingdon for an unusually unattractive cover behind the dust jacket. However, the layout of the book is attractive and helpful.I Also Recommend: Heart of Christianity, Misquoting Jesus, Jesus, Interrupted, Lost Christianities, Jewish Study Bible.

June 24, 2009: To begin: the NRSV is more readable than many versions, but I attend Bible study classes because context is a major clue to understanding the nuances. This Bible contains extensive notes, and provides that context and views I would not have thought of on my own. Bible study classes at my church are not always as in-depth as my curiosity is--this Bible fills that gap.
