I love your videos. I can always count on you to be clear in all your explanations. I also appreciate what you choose to review. I always learn a lot, so I have been going back to your earlier videos. Thanks so much!
Great to see the comments open again :-) Thanks to you I have both the ESV Study Bible and the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible, so I'm somewhat set in the Study department... For now :-) SO for me, I think the Bible commentary would make the most sense. They are all lovely though. Loving you doing the video among all your other tools.
It was the best lighting I could find. I’m glad you found a couple of good Bible’s!!! I checked and the whole Bible commentary is only $22 on Christian books!! That is a great price.
Thank you guys for watching! If you haven't subscribed already please do. Subscribing, commenting and hitting that thumbs up really helps the channel...which means more people can be encouraged and equipped along the way! Thanks for your continued support!
Heyyy brother! I just purchased this Bible earlier this month and looking for reviews and found that you reviewed it as well. Awesome review man. I always enjoy your channel. God bless you man🙏🏾
Very helpful overview of Study tools. I use Study Bibles, Commentaries, Bible Dictionaries, Concordances, and Reference Bibles. Also, books on the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit are helpful. Enjoyed this! 🌺🌄
Thank you for the love amd support!! Soli Deo Gloria (I almost got the NKJV cause I don’t spend much time in the NASB but as it’s currently Johnny Macs preferred translation...I figured ...why not)
@@ClaimingChristianity I was looking for the NASB, but the NKJV was the only one I could find at the time. 😂. Worked out real good though. I'm very happy with it.😊
At the shop they only had NASB and NKJV. If there was an ESV I prob would have gotten that. But I’m happy. The commentary is the commentary. It’ll get used.
:( You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
Very good information. Just a couple of notes: 1. Most of the maps in both the ESV Study Bible and the MacArthur Study Bible are exactly the same. However, I think that the ESV Study Bible has more maps (although some of the maps are just shown multiple times). MacArthur has (I think) 2 maps which the ESV does not - one being a map of Ezekiel’s Vision of Israel’s New Boundaries during the millennium. 2. I am fairly sure that the comments in the MacArthur Study Bible and in the one-volume commentary were very similar, if not the exact thing. The commentary, however, is a much larger size - so it is easier on the eyes. 3. MacArthur also has a separate book which contains introductions of the 66 books of the Bible also found in the Study Bible.
Just picked up Macarthurs new testament commentaries on Romans (2 volumes) from a used bookstore in brand new condition! Excellent addition to my macarthur study bibles
:( You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
I use the study Bible when I want to look up something quickly . For more depth, I go to the Bible commentary. (If it is OT, I use the one volume. If it is NT, I go the the commentary set.) I started the Bible commentary set by buying one at a time (back in 1992) as suggested above and then when I got caught up to date, I bought each new one as they came out.
In terms of commentary, do you know if the Macarthur Bible Commentary (the thick book) have any EXTRA commentary that isn't in the study bible? Thank you
@@sesamesprinkles Yes, the commentary does have the same notes as the study Bible. Did you really think he would write a whole commentary otherwise? However, yes, the commentary DOES have extra notes and charts. The print in the commentary is larger than the study Bible, so if one has trouble reading the study Bible they can go to the commentary and read that. Also, in the commentary at the end of each book is a list of further recommended reading. To me, if MacArthur recommends a book I know it will be Biblically sound. Look below for other comments concerning your question.
Great in depth overview! Besides maps and charts, does the MacArthur study bible contain ALL the commentaries from The Macarthur Bible Commentary (the thick book). Wondering if the stand alone Macarthur Bible Commentary has any EXTRA commentary that is not included in the study bible. Thanks!
I have a couple of genres I watch on youtube... clips of shows I've enjoyed... a few cooking channels to get ideas, or new techniques... and of course Bible review/study/etc, which led me here. Another of my main passions is woodworking, so the backdrop of this video threw me off briefly, and I couldn't quite connect the title of the video to the wall of tools lol
At the time I was just looking for a better spot to film. Lol. And it happened to work in. I thought the lighting was better in there. So I filmed a few things there. I live my wall. lol. It makes me happy
Yeah...I listen to his sermons too. I’m never disappointed. Challenged and convicted for sure. I really like his commentaries and they way they’re written.
:( You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
It’s really a personal preference of both the buyer and the producer. No real reason some don’t like red cause it effects their eyes. Some don’t like it cause it feels like those words are more important when they’re not. Some like it cause they stand out. Humble lamb does them in Blue…which I personally love. But it’s all personal preference.
So I ordered the bible commentary to go with my esv study bible and then bibles went on sale and I bought the macarthur study bible. Is there much difference between the two sets of commentary? They both just showed up today and it appears they are the samething and I didn't technically need both :)
Would you recommend to have both study bible and bible commentary? I already have the study bible and I would like to know if it's useful tontake also the commentary
Would you recommend against getting both the Study Bible and the separate commentary? Or does the separate commentary have more information where it would be worth getting it as well? Because I already have his Study Bible, but was looking for supplemental study resources to use in conjunction to my normal reference Bible.
Hey I was wondering if you have ever had a study book from John MacArthur such as “Mathew study Book” i can’t find any reviews. I’m wondering how they are for my small Group
First...thanks for the support and encouragement! Soli Deo Gloria As far as the "Matthew Study Book" goes...I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are referring to. I do have the Matthew Commentaries Such as the ones shown. But I don't have a specific study book. Sorry
I don’t know if you’ve seen them, but Johnny Mac also has Bible study guides. They’re individual books of the Bible with notes and commentary in it. Are the the same notes as any of these?
I don't have them. My guess is that the info in them is similar just with "questions" to help you read. But again...I haven't really put my hands on one.
BIBLES: 1) King James Study Bible; 2) ESV Study Bible; 3)The MacArthur Study Bible; ONE-VOLUME COMMENTARIES 1) The MacArthur Bible Commentary; 2) The Moody Bible Commentary; COMMENTARY SETS 1) The Expositor's Bible Commentary; 2) The MacArthur New Testament Commentary; 3) Matthew Henry's Commentary These are my go-to study Bibles and Commentaries. No particular order. Currently I'm reading and re-reading, for the purposes of much needed self-examination, John MacArthur's 1 Corinthians commentary, Chapter 13. It has been a huge blessing, to say the least.
Here's a link for the large print. Although it's not the 2nd edition. I'm sure the 2nd edition and the LSB will have a large print. They're pretty standard these days. My guess would be about an 8-9 on the font for this one.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????????? :( You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
I have the MacArthur Study Bible really like the study notes-comments, ...does the MacArthur Bible Commentary has more study notes than my Study Bible? Im thinking if it has 50% or more comments-study notes could be worth it.... like how much more percentage of notes has the Commentary? do you think is worth getting both ??
I don't know if you need both. If it were me...I'd stick with the Study Bible and start collecting the individual commentaries. The all in one commentary does have a little more than the SB but the whole NT commentary set is what you want really.
As much as I would like the premium MacArthur ESV, 2nd Ed. - but I cannot afford one. So… my question is about the Hardcover as compared to the Brown Imitation binding. What are your thoughts? I mean… I saw the comment about your idea to use as reference and the Hardcover sits best on shelf for reference. For me, I would like to carry easily and also ensure it lays flat while studying. I thought I would add I also have a somewhat portable ESV Systematic Theology Bible I take to church and everywhere. Maybe I should consider the commentary but I think the 2nd Ed. Study Bible would be best. I would appreciate your thoughts. 🙏
To be honest. Most hard covers I have tent to “lay flat” right outta the box. Some prefer them for just that reason. That being said. The quality of imitation leather these days is really good in my opinion and if it’s going to be your every day carry….that’s not a bad option.
@@ClaimingChristianity thank you for your reply… and this is exactly what I am thinking… except that maybe I should get a zip cover because here in Michigan, the weather can be a factor
Zippered covers are great - not only for bad weather, but for at least one other reason. If you drop your Bible, the pages will not open up and tear from the fall. In a zippered cover, the pages are protected.
What do you think about John McArthur commentary vs William MacDonald, which one will you recommend if asked to choose one? I know it's a tough question, but just asking.
NOOOOOOOOOOOONE :( You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
Well if you have nothing at all start with the study Bible. But of you have a bible already and can afford it....I say get the whole set of commentaries. That’s years of study right there and tons of great information. Let us know what you get and how you like it!!
@@ClaimingChristianity thanks for your response. I do have a bible but it's on my phone and right now I'm planning to buy the 2nd edition of the JMac study bible. Do you think that would be a good start as a beginner or should I buy the JMac commentaries?
I was going to buy the MacArthur commentary bible, but went on Amazo and the reviews were terrible. Everyone kept saying there's about 50 pages that are the same, or upside down, or repeats, and its content is very inconsistent with scripture. I don't know anymore to get it or not.
I always take amazon reviews with a grain of salt. If you're looking for the information in the commentary...who really cares if the page happens to be printed upside down. ya know...lol. But I do understand... I believe there is a new edition of it now...heres a link. Maybe the problems have been solved. amzn.to/3CPRXfJ that's NKJV...but you can look for 2nd edition. Either way...It's solid info inside. Thanks for watching.
Please don't get it. He's a false teacher. You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
@@ClaimingChristianity I was having doubts for months if I should get the blue book cause I can't see its contents (very limited bookstores sell this in the Philippines), this video although as you say "not detailed" gave me the idea as to what their differences are. so yes, and thank you again. 🙇♂️❤️
Yeah...He did make and NIV. And hearing him mention why...(way back in the day) was kinda funny. But he did it because the NIV is the most widely distributed and used translation of the Bible in the world. So he wanted those folks to have solid commentary.
We’ll. My gut says reading the 33 books. Lol. But they’re not exactly built for reading straight through. So I’d say do both. Listen to the sermons and supplement your study with the books when you need um. 🤷🏻♂️ that’s what I do.
@@ClaimingChristianity I do have a question for you other than your pet minion what Bible would you suggest that is small and compact like that for an every day carry right now I am currently using a compact 316 publishers NASB Bible I like it but there are no references.
l just purchased a Macarthur bible, 2ed and l was very disappointed with it, to the point l am going to sell it, its that poor. Just the quality of the notes is very sub par.
Dr.John Macarthur is a great evangelist,preacber and arthur,I may not agree with everything he says and belives in I do have Nsab,NkJ study bibles and a couple of his daily study bible which I use along side of my King James and New King James.Thanks for sharing video.
Um NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I don't THINK so!!!! Anyone who tells the entire youtube world that you can take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven is NOT a great preacher (or even an OK one)
Not me. I wouldn’t touch anything John McArthur advises. His treatment of Mrs Gray was disgusting. His sermon on women twisted Scripture to fit his bias. No McArthur anything for me, thanks anyway.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Of every single comment on here, you're the ONLY one who knows what he's talking about! John McArthur told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven (and the last I heard, he STILL believes that), and I honestly feel REALLY bad for all those who are believing his crap. I just found THIS guy on here about a month ago. I've only seen a few of his videos and I've been liking them. I'm still gonna watch him because I like him (with the exception of this one; I'm not even gonna BOTHER watching this one). I'll still watch his videos but you have NO IDEA how disappointing it is to see that he and so many others put so much stock into this false teacher :(

It does have a little extra. But one or the other would really be enough. IMHO I’d do a study bible then start collecting book by book.

Can you please tell what is the size of john MacArthur commentary book
QUESTION ?? I would like to know why some bibles don’t have the words of Christ in red . specifically JMAC , R.C. Sproul , ESV Study Bible ? Thank you
It’s really a personal preference of both the buyer and the producer. No real reason some don’t like red cause it effects their eyes. Some don’t like it cause it feels like those words are more important when they’re not.
Some like it cause they stand out. Humble lamb does them in Blue…which I personally love.
But it’s all personal preference.
I’ve got the Bible commentary on my kindle. Is the study Bible worth adding?
So I ordered the bible commentary to go with my esv study bible and then bibles went on sale and I bought the macarthur study bible. Is there much difference between the two sets of commentary? They both just showed up today and it appears they are the samething and I didn't technically need both :)
The commentary really just has a little more. Between those two really you don’t need both.
Thank you, I'm sure I can find someone to gift one to! :)
Would you recommend to have both study bible and bible commentary? I already have the study bible and I would like to know if it's useful tontake also the commentary
If you have the SB the One volume Commentary really isn’t all that necessary. I’d start collecting single volume book commentaries.
Would you recommend against getting both the Study Bible and the separate commentary? Or does the separate commentary have more information where it would be worth getting it as well? Because I already have his Study Bible, but was looking for supplemental study resources to use in conjunction to my normal reference Bible.
I’d say if you already have the SB…start getting the full set one at a time. They’re pretty inexpensive.
Hey I was wondering if you have ever had a study book from John MacArthur such as “Mathew study Book” i can’t find any reviews. I’m wondering how they are for my small Group
Also thanks for the video I appreciate it as I was wondering about those books as well.
First...thanks for the support and encouragement! Soli Deo Gloria

BIBLES:
1) King James Study Bible;
2) ESV Study Bible;
3)The MacArthur Study Bible;
ONE-VOLUME COMMENTARIES
1) The MacArthur Bible Commentary;
2) The Moody Bible Commentary;
COMMENTARY SETS
1) The Expositor's Bible Commentary;
2) The MacArthur New Testament Commentary;
3) Matthew Henry's Commentary
These are my go-to study Bibles and Commentaries. No particular order. Currently I'm reading and re-reading, for the purposes of much needed self-examination, John MacArthur's 1 Corinthians commentary, Chapter 13. It has been a huge blessing, to say the least.
that's a good stack!
What is font size?
Does MacArthur have a large PRINT?
Will there be one for LSB?
Here's a link for the large print. Although it's not the 2nd edition. I'm sure the 2nd edition and the LSB will have a large print. They're pretty standard these days. My guess would be about an 8-9 on the font for this one.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????????????? :(
You DO know he told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven, right? (and yes, the last I heard, he STILL believes that)
Is the material in the MacArthur Bible Commentary duplicated in his individual book commentaries?
No...The individual book's are kinda like (because I believe they are) his sermons on each verse/package. So you get quite a bit more.
Is the whole bible commentary the exact same as what’s in the study bible notes? Or is it more extensive?
I’d say slightly more extensive. If o had to choose. I’d get the study bible and then start collecting the NT series
I have the MacArthur Study Bible really like the study notes-comments, ...does the MacArthur Bible Commentary has more study notes than my Study Bible? Im thinking if it has 50% or more comments-study notes could be worth it.... like how much more percentage of notes has the Commentary? do you think is worth getting both ??

You said JMAC study Bible available in NIV ?
Yeah...He did make and NIV. And hearing him mention why...(way back in the day) was kinda funny. But he did it because the NIV is the most widely distributed and used translation of the Bible in the world. So he wanted those folks to have solid commentary.
You should have said which one is suitable for what purpose.
Sorry. The information given was supposed to help others figure out what’s best for them. I did my best.
Would I be better off hearing his free sermons then reading 33 books?
We’ll. My gut says reading the 33 books. Lol. But they’re not exactly built for reading straight through. So I’d say do both. Listen to the sermons and supplement your study with the books when you need um. 🤷🏻♂️ that’s what I do.
I have the study Bible and love it.
It’s a GOOD one
@@ClaimingChristianity I like it so much I just ordered the top grain leather Study Bible about a week ago.

l just purchased a Macarthur bible, 2ed and l was very disappointed with it, to the point l am going to sell it, its that poor. Just the quality of the notes is very sub par.
Dr.John Macarthur is a great evangelist,preacber and arthur,I may not agree with everything he says and belives in I do have Nsab,NkJ study bibles and a couple of his daily study bible which I use along side of my King James and New King James.Thanks for sharing video.
Glad it was helpful! And I also don’t agree with everything He says.
Um NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I don't THINK so!!!! Anyone who tells the entire youtube world that you can take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven is NOT a great preacher (or even an OK one)
Answer: none of them.
Not me. I wouldn’t touch anything John McArthur advises. His treatment of Mrs Gray was disgusting. His sermon on women twisted Scripture to fit his bias. No McArthur anything for me, thanks anyway.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Of every single comment on here, you're the ONLY one who knows what he's talking about!
John McArthur told the whole youtube world that you could take the mark of the beast and still go to heaven (and the last I heard, he STILL believes that), and I honestly feel REALLY bad for all those who are believing his crap.
I just found THIS guy on here about a month ago. I've only seen a few of his videos and I've been liking them. I'm still gonna watch him because I like him (with the exception of this one; I'm not even gonna BOTHER watching this one). I'll still watch his videos but you have NO IDEA how disappointing it is to see that he and so many others put so much stock into this false teacher :(
