Loving going through the NET Bible with Full Notes while preaching Jonah. I’ve found the word choices and study notes very helpful to uncover what some translations inadvertently obscure. (For example, words/phrases repeated and Hebrew words that have more than a single meaning.)
I really enjoyed this review, thank you SO MUCH for pointing out all of those examples to check the notes. The full notes edition is an amazing resource. The prophetic guild song=priceless!
"We represent the prophetic guild" 🤣 you got me chuckling pretty good with that Wizard of Oz reference Tim! I don't own a paper copy yet, but the free digital versions of the Full Notes is a very useful study aid. I've been on the hunt for a good public domain translation (for recording whole books of the bible as free audiobooks) and so far the NET and WEB are candidates. I find it a little difficult, neither or these two "open source" translations is quite what I'm looking for, especially when it comes to say the poetry of Psalms and Proverbs. It doesn't read quite as smoothly as say the NKJV or ESV, but it's a very interesting translation!
I’ve heard about the NET Bible for the last couple months or so, but until today I had no idea about the full notes edition, so I just ordered one from Amazon. I’m super excited to dive into it, I had no idea that a Bible existed with that thorough of a note system regarding textual criticism. It’s definitely right up my alley. Can’t wait to check it out! Thanks brother!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on NET Bible. I can see how some translations makes our life easier in some aspects, but in others is a bit confuse. Yes, the Gentiles vs unconverted is easier to understand the whole point. Simple word that with context we know what it means but using the right word could help to open our heart. Thank you again.
Having thought on it some more I think my ideal format for this translation would be a two volume set with a thin line bible with just the text and a matching volume that has just the translation notes
I have both the leather soft and the notes. Love it! I’m a huge NASB fan and thought nothing could take it’s place but the NET has. I especially love the passages where the translation is much truer to the original text. We know that for whatever reason the translators shied from what the original text (ie the original does not read “filthy rags”) and I enjoy that the NET is trying to correct this.
The notes from this Bible are some of my favorites of any study Bible. (Commentary-wise though, I really like the IVP Bible Background set. The Craig Keener notes on the New Testament are especially awesome.)
I absolutely love the NET's New Testament, but in the Old Testament (the major prophets and a few Psalms specifically) there are some really wonky translations. The revision from NET1 to NET2 fixed the worst ones in the Psalms, but there's still a bit of weirdness in places like Jeremiah. No truly problematic choices, just some bizzare ones
Thank you Pastor Tim. I’ve always loved the NET since before it was in print and only available on the actual internet. I’ve always loved it. To me it is what the NIV should be. And I wish someone would do a Premier version of it. But one of the translation points that really grabbed me and I loved it is Philippians 3:7-8. I love the use of the word “liabilities”. Check it out - I think it’s sensational. “Philippians 7But these assets I have come to regard as liabilities because of Christ. 8More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things - indeed, I regard them as dung! - that I may gain Christ, 9and be found in him …”. What do you think? Thanks again and if you’ve got any influence over these bible publishers, can we please have a NET Premier (or whatever they name it) edition. 😊🙏🙏🙏
Great review as always. Do you know if they will be releasing a Large Print version of the NET full study notes? I've got the full notes edition, but I have to use a magnifier for the notes. Thank you for all your hard work and thorough research. This is probably the most awesome bible especially the Study notes. Your views are very similar to Dan Wallace re the NET bible. I hold him in very high esteem.
Perfect timing! I'm almost done with the bible in the ESV and I was debating which translation to read next. I was primarily debating between NRSV, NET, CSB, and NASB2020. I think they're all decently different from the ESV and you've read all and have done reviews of at least three of them. Which would you say is a good follow-up to the ESV? Thanks for the review!
Based off the weight of Goliath's gear and his height relative to Saul (Saul was also very tall. Probably around 6'2"ish. If Goliath were only 7" taller the fear a seasoned warrior like Saul has is too much. I had a roommate who was a whole foot taller than me, he was 7', and if i had to fight him in combat i wouldn't be so scared it wouldn’t be possible, but someone who is well over 9' tall would be) I don't see how Goliath could not be over 9' tall. The size of his weapons would be so impractical for anyone smaller.
I have the hardcover version, but man are the notes small. It's actually easier to read it in the Bible app IMO. (The note links are included near the text, which is nice.)
You should have included Ruth 4:1. My NET Bible has “John Doe” which they changed to “what’s your name”. And in Isaiah 9:6 my NET says “Extraordinary Strategist” which is now “Wonderful Adviser”. Either way the NET is super different. That’s what I dig about this Bible. There’s no such thing as a casual read. It’s not disrespectful but it is - how to put it - out there? Good video.
Which edition do you have? I have a second edition and the most recent and they both say “what’s your name.” But the app says “John Doe.” Wow. I want a John Doe edition!
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews I loaned out my first NET with notes and never got it back. At the time I didn’t have the dough to replace it so this is from version 9r.0701. I exclusively use the NET on my iPad but would dearly love to get another physical Bible which is why this video was so interesting. A buddy of mine from DTS got me onto the NET Bible before they were finished working on it so I got to start reading it when it was still in beta mode. Needless to say it’s come a long way since then. I tried to copy and paste a pic of Ruth 4 but for some reason it doesn’t work.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews it's cool But what first for you really thinking about when you said that were you referring to something within the story of Elijah and Elisha?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been waiting a long time for this comment. Sometimes I even make myself cringe. I’ve since learned to edit better. It can be really hard to catch yourself saying the same thing many times. But I’m improving. Thanks for the laugh.
How interesting that you found so many wordings "interesting"- sadly, you didn't spend any energy in explaining the "interest." Curiously uninformative (and interesting).
Because Soul means a living being. False christianity has read into it as a some disembodied Spirit that leaves the body at death. But this is not Biblical.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews @A Nickels Worth Bible Reviews My comment was in reference to when you read "Love God with all your soul.." and how they translated it to "with your whole being ..". 3:05

Thanks Tim for giving me insight into this translation and most importantly for loving God and His Word.

Glad I found this video; helped me decide whether or not to pick this version up.
Amazing amount of notes compared to text at least on the page you showed. Great stuff. Thanks for the review Tim.
Yeah I show it a little better in the video in the description. The notes are intense.

@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thanks for trying to help.

I think they're all decently different from the ESV and you've read all and have done reviews of at least three of them. Which would you say is a good follow-up to the ESV? Thanks for the review!
Anything but the NRSV. My personal favorite of those listed for reading is the CSB. But I enjoyed both the NET and the 2020.
I think the NASB95 is better than 20.

Still have my beta version NET Bible
looks great!
could you show (maybe on FB?) what Psalm 119 looks like?
2 Samuel 20:35? Does that chapter not only go to verse 26?
Must have mistyped my verse reference. It’s actually first 1 Kings 20:35.
Is the net bible available in the Google play store with the translation notes
I don’t use Google Play so I can’t say for certain.

Comparing the CSB sb and NIV sb, which is the best read and made?
Both quite different styles, hard to say which one is better. NIV study bible is a bit more thorough. Nothing beats the ESV Study bible.
First I hear of this translation of the Bible
Begging your pardon but there is no verse 35 and 2nd Samuel chapter 20
It was likely a misspeak.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews it's cool
But what first for you really thinking about when you said that were you referring to something within the story of Elijah and Elisha?

I don't think I really like that translation of Genesis 4:1
Have you ever read the note to that one? It’s very interesting stuff.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews No but I'm sure it's compelling. I'll have to look into it.
@caseybyrd7671 right!!!
How interesting that you found so many wordings "interesting"- sadly, you didn't spend any energy in explaining the "interest." Curiously uninformative (and interesting).
That’s not the goal of my channel. If you are “interested” in more detail perhaps you could private message my channel page on Facebook. Shalom.
Because Soul means a living being. False christianity has read into it as a some disembodied Spirit that leaves the body at death. But this is not Biblical.
You are correct. The Hebrew word soul (nephesh) is living being, but I said Sheol not soul.
