To the people at Baker Publishing or whoever has the print rights/permission please Strongly consider a reprint of this Bible! At 100K plus views of this Bible there are many interested in getting a print copy! I feel Disciple Dojo would deserve a small percentage of the sales for putting this Bible on a lot of wishlists😊 and hopefully he gets to do a remake of this review for the reprint version❤
@@shonteehargett6932 there are two copies on Ebay, for extremely high prices. Some are really taking advantage of the situation. There one bid for 510 dollars
@@wereldatlasyes, just saw another copy in hardback on ebay go for upwards of $400, the leatherlike version of it seems to be going higher than $450 on ebay and hoping Baker announces the reprint date so us Bible Nerds can finally wait it out and breathe😅
Is there anyway they are going to reprint this because there are a lot of people that would like to get a copy of this and we can’t find it nowhere online🙌🏽🙋🏾♀️💯
I am so glad to see your Review of this AWESOME Study Bible! This is definitely one of my favorite Study Bibles. I fell in love with this Bible immediately. I purchased this Study Bible in 2022. You've pointed out some things that are very important for my studies. Looking forward to more of your Reviews.
@michelemoneywell8765 The other one he recommends is also out of print: The Archeological Study Bible from Zondervan. Since the ASB is out of print, he recommends The Cultural Background Study Bible as a consolation prize. Note that the NRSV version of this last one also appears to be out of print.
@@daveonezero6258 electronic versions are readily available and used ones can be found. This channel seems to often recommend study bibles no longer in print though.
I got this channel recommended just in time for Christmas. I'm definitively checking this Bible and also some of the ones mentioned in the comment section.
I really like it. It's in the CSB translation, which is also a very good translation. Personally speaking, I wouldn't say it's the best study Bible or my favorite study Bible, but it is a very good study Bible that's better than many other study Bibles. Definitely one of the better study Bibles. 😊
@@jamesbarksdale978 I just purchased the Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary on ebay, ill get it in a week. It seems that it has all the study notes of the SB and a bit more! . P.S. The Baker Illustrated *Background* Commentary seems to have fewer and very shallow comments-notes.
I am so surprised this was "new" to you?! I have had it for a few years + love it!!! Absolutely wonderful review and video...tyvm for sharing your thoughts, great job!👍
Guys, HERE is The True Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Egyptian Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Egyptian Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Filled with lots of excellent facts and quality info. Just remember Baker Books is basically a Reformed publishing house. In other words they are calvinistic, amillennial and reformed.
Not sure why Baker seems to stop printing so many of their biblical reference books. Nearly all of the “Baker Illustrated” volumes on my shelf had to be purchased used.
I bought this on a few months ago not knowing anything about the CSB or the Baker Study Bible. I find I am starting to use it lot and loving it and the CSB translation!
I also wanted to say this is my favorite Study Bible on my Kindle app compared to my Zondervan Archaeological SB & Cultural Backgrounds SB. The study notes format on the Baker one is the best, IMO. So easy to navigate.
@@LocaChoca I purchased it on my Kindle for $9.99 but I can see why people want their SB’s on their Logos or Olive Tree. I have both of them. I just don’t use my Bible software much because of the cost of adding Bibles/books. They both have some good sales at times & I need to pay more attention to the sales.
@@katielouise3924 I agree. The cost of bibles not on sale are astronomical. The Baker one is 40 bucks, which is too steep for an ebook. I'm just worried the ebook will go out of circulation too.
I’m still surprised that this was discontinued. Even as a Catholic, I found that this study Bible has a significant number of decent helps for scripture study. So when the local Christian bookstore was selling these for A$20 a copy new, I picked one up quick smart.
It is a strange irony that Christians strive to study the Bible diligently, but miss the part where Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for studying the Bible diligently.
It wasn’t the studying of the Bible that he rebuked. It was the harshness of the Rabbis on people who didn’t follow the law perfectly. They did pretty bad things to people in the name of God, and that is what Jesus rebuked.
@@dylancaldwell8337 Thank you for proving the irony. He did rebuke their harshness. You are right about that. But he also rebuked them for their diligent study of the scriptures. After all, that's where their harshness came from. And it was their diligent study that prevented them from hearing the father's voice and knowing that Christ was who he said he was. That's what John chapter 5 means. John 5:37-40 "And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life." Nor does his word dwell in you... Jesus said that to the guys who had the first 5 books of the Torah memorized by the time they had hair on their balls. And who went on to train as specialists in the meaning of those writings. Fishermen and drunks and prostitutes and tax collectors could hear the voice of the Father tell them that Jesus was the Christ, but not those who loved scripture. That's a highly inconvenient truth for Christians. Don't you think? You should... study the Bible more diligently. Then you would know it better and know that God actually hates the diligent study of the words of dead men. The Bible is a beautiful and poetic book. Perhaps the most significant book ever written by the hands of man. And it also happens to be a graven image of the Logos. Believing it is God's word to you and studying it diligently ensures only that for you, the Logos remains silent. You can either regard the living word as God's word, or you can regard the ancient writings of dead men as God's word. You cannot do both for you cannot serve 2 masters.
I have several study Bibles. It is very useful to look at them all when reading some of the more “difficult” passages of Scripture. As a Catholic, the Bishops Conference of England and Wales does have only one officially approved translation for use for teaching and study purposes. Currently, this is the Second Edition of the Revised Standard Version (1971/72) which is, in fact, very close to the original RSV (1946/1952) and just removes some of the more archaic language. This is soon to be replaced by the Anglicised version of the English Standard Bible, the most recent revision of the Authorised Version (the “King James Bible”). However, most versions of the Authorised Version are very similar. I happen to use a study Bible based on the New Revised Standard Version, simply because there are plenty available in this translation, which is the version adopted by the Church of England and, in fact, used by the Catholic Church in Canada. The Catholic Church requires any translation to be a direct, literal, translation from the best manuscripts in the original language. As a result, “interpretative” translations, or those using the “dynamic equivalent” approach are not permitted. Similarly, a “translation from a translation” is not permitted, so English translations from the Latin Vulgate are not now permitted (the Douay-Rheims or Knox translations, for example). This may seem very restrictive, however, once you permit a translator to impose his own “interpretation” when translating from the original language, there is always the risk that he will introduce his own personal bias into the process. The Catholic Church teaches that the Sacred Scriptures have God as their author and that he used the authors as His instruments. As a result, the most authentic versions of the original manuscripts in the original language must be taken as having been written by Almighty God himself. Therefore, a translator must translate directly and literally from the original language - he cannot interpose his own personal interpretation along the way, to make what he might consider “better sense” of what Almighty God has written.
Thank you for your thorough review. That looks like a great Study Bible. I have a lot of different Study Bibles & I just love them. My bookshelves are too full, so now it’s get them on my Kindle Fire. I do wish some like my Chronological Life Appl. one were offered in more translations (chose KJV over NLT).
Thanks and a great review. I bought one about a year ago but need to use it more often. It was not easy to find in the UK but managed it. Thanks again.
*Baker Illustrated Bible COMMENTARY vs Baker Illustrated SB* , hey people!, since its out of print the SB, the Baker Illustrated Bible Commentary its an excellent option, since it has exactly the same study notes as the SB,...thats for sure, also it seems that instead of the scriptures it has more pics and essays...
Great video review! However there’s another Baker book that dives much deeper into Bible study with “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙮¨ book, by Gary Burge. It’s a verse by verse study book. There’s a ton of contributors in that book as well. I use it in conjunction with my 1984-NIV, 1995-NASB and/or NKJV bibles. It’s a much more in depth book than the Baker study Bible.
Yes, commentaries are almost always more in-depth than any study Bible on the market. So if people can't find this one and don't want digital, that would be a helpful tool for sure.
Olive Tree Bible Software has this study Bible. Nice thing about Olive Tree (and Logos) is that I have both these excellent programs on my PC and on my phone, so I carry my entire Bible library wherever I go.
Tim Nickels just listed this book as one of his favorite study Bibles, too. I considered it when I was looking at different CSB options, but it didn't seem to offer much that I didn't already have from other resources. I do wish some of the study Bibles in the 2017 edition of the CSB would get proper updates with the 2020 text. (The differences are minor, but they're enough to make me unenthusiastic about getting a print Bible that uses the earlier edition.)
It’s available on Logos in digital format as are several other similar Baker resources. That means it’s digitally searchable & printable in multiple languages to share! If you don’t have Logos as your digital resource library, you’re missing out!
The company replied to me with: “The CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible is out of print. There are currently no plans to reprint and your request has been noted by the appropriate department. Thanks”
Speaking of phased out titles, I picked up the Archaeological Study Bible from eBay, at your high recommendation. The smaller-than-usual print discourages me from delving into it as much as I’d like. And I’m not old! I’m 34 and don’t need reading glasses. Am considering purchasing a reading magnifier to put over the page of your beloved Zondervan title. In the meantime, am loving the NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible and the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible. I highly recommend both. I also own the ESV Archaeology Study Bible but don’t much care for it as I do those others which are more chock-full of interesting articles, break-aways, and photos. Thanks for your in-depth reviews. Have also purchased two Jay Sklar commentaries due to your interviews with him. Picked up his latest Numbers commentary and an older Tyndale commentary on Leviticus. Thanks
I was able to pick up an Archaeological Study Bible from EBay as well and I love it. I also have the Cultural Background Study Bible but my copy is in the NRSV which isn’t my favorite translation but it’s still a great study Bible.
WE also need to lobby Olive Tree software to obtain and offer the Archaeological Bible. Then you can increase the font! When you give them recommendations, they always send you a 10% off coupon!
I really appreciate you looking at the different takes on Romans 7. I compiled a book called The Arminian Bible Commentary and just added a quote from Tertullian that demonstrates how he understood the text. He took it as Paul describing his own past experience while under the Law. This is how I take it as well. One thing that is very telling is how English translations all too often render the present tense verb κατεργαζομένη (is working [death]) into English as if it were a past tense verb, but then they suddenly shift their methods in verse 14 ff. to rendering the present tense as presents in English. If they were consistent with their approach in verse 13 it would likely help resolve common misinterpretation of that passage. It’s sad that people take that as the normal experience of a man after he is in Christ.
You and the Dojo were the first Bible review channels I began watching this year. You're both like family, and I enjoy and am grateful for all the both of you do! Hope all is well!@@BibleTreasuresAndReviews
I know they are aware of this video and considering it. Like with all publishing decisions it comes down to demand. So the best thing to do is contact them and let them know you'd like one.
I have been unable to find this bible anywhere. Every site says "out of print". It appears by the comments that others have had the same issue. Was hoping to find one.
This came from the baker bible commentary which has been around sinse the 80s I think, which was more recently updated to the baker illustrated bible commentary this study bible came from.
@@DiscipleDojo , oh - right. Because it isn’t available anymore in hard copy. Too bad. I think it’s going to be a good addition to my Bible resources. Thanks for presenting it. I’d have never known about it otherwise.
Everything that they produce that is good is always discontinued by the time anyone hears about it. Wish Holman would start back producing the original HCSB bibles because those are great translations.
I called the fine folks at Baker and requested (begged is probably more accurate) that they return this wonderful Bible to print. Unfortunately they shot me down like a clay pigeon at a skeet shoot. I am going to have to find this in acceptable condition and buy it from a guy named Vinny in a back alley somewhere.
I searched EVERYWHERE for this Bible and it is nowhere to be found. However, I did find the CSB HOLY LAND Illustrated Bible, and I am enjoying it. If the CSB Illustrated Study Bible ever become availabe, I am on it. ❤
i like the blue color on the footnotes and on the articles kind of reminds me of the cristian growth study bible that i own it has the 1984 text of the Niv its awsome wish more bibles did the blu intesd of the red i have a thompson chain but the red letters keep me away so i dont use it as my main bible sadly
I have the Baker Illustrated and the ESV Study Bible and honestly I think for in-depth study they are essentially equal in value. For daily reading I prefer the Fire Bible and the Dr. Jeremiah Study Bible
Doesn't matter which one. All are Harlot Daughters, Catholicism the Mother Harlot. Therefore no difference between all the Pagan Sunday study bibles secretly published by Catholicism 🌞
From the information I could find, this Bible is no longer in print. It's too bad, as this video piqued my interest. Anyway, I'm new to your channel and want to say great video!
Thank you for the review. I would love to add this bible to my collection, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Please let us know when we can get a physical copy. 😃
I am so sad. I cannot find a used copy of this anywhere. It looks like it is still available digitally, but I really want this as a desk resource. Baker, Zondervan, why you do this?
Hey! Any update on Bakers decision to reprint? Will you make an update video... I have emailed them a few times but haven't gotten a response. Thanks for all you do DiscipleDojo!
Thanks for this review! One technical thing though: Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue, but even with the max resolution of this upload (720p) I still couldn't really read the text
About the crossing of the Red Sea, early in google / google maps, could have been 2010 or earlier… I was looking on google maps for topology evidence in the satellite images of the waters in the Red Sea. I actually found it! I mean I found on the maps evidence of high ground from one side to the other. And each shore side pointed out a little at the line. I was like, “oh my gosh, there is the evidence right there!” And also thought they probably remove this because it shows the evidence. I had an early iPhone at the time and wish I would have taken a picture, screen shot. Years went by and the next time I couldn’t find it again. There has got to be other sources of underwater land height images of the Red Sea. Seriously… !
Is it in Deuteronomy where Moses tells the people, "...God has multiplied your numbers by the thousands...". I always saw that as a limiter when seeing the order of the tribes striking out in the desert.
I've been a Christian for almost 34 years. I've NEVER heard any of the names of the people involved in this Bible. What circle of the Body are they from? How could I have known them? Where would I have heard or read them?
@@grannyinthesticks biblical scholarship circles. They write the resources and commentaries most evangelical pastors use when studying and preparing their sermons.
This sounds very good for a Study bible - and though I think I'd like it for doing bible studies - I have never liked using a study bible for my daily bible reading. This is because I find the notes very distracting. But for doing a study with others, I think it would be very useful.
Do you have any idea where I could find this Bible? I only see it offered in Ebook format and I'm told that format does not allow printing. I would be willing to print it myself if I could get a printable option. I contacted Baker Publishing and they responded that they do not intend to bring this Bible back in print format. I really want a copy of this Bible! Thank You.
The Bible app on your phone with a search function, translation function and voice narration - along with a web browser and TH-cam a swipe away, is the best study Bible ever conceived. No book even comes close to that degree of context and insight availability.
Although I like hard copies for books like this, given that it is no longer in print, I think there is value in getting the Kindle version which is at a reasonable price.
I reached out to Baker House and this morning, March 3, 2024, I received the following reply from Deb Fawley at Baker House Publishing: "Thank you for contacting us. I am not aware of any plans to reprint this Bible."
I have not. If anyone wants to send me a copy I'm happy to do so, but I've honestly never found much use for it the few times I have browsed through one in a bookstore.
To the people at Baker Publishing or whoever has the print rights/permission please Strongly consider a reprint of this Bible!

(The differences are minor, but they're enough to make me unenthusiastic about getting a print Bible that uses the earlier edition.)
Do you know the other favorites in Tim's opinion?
@@RichLuciano1 I'd recommend going to his channel and watching the video from a couple of weeks ago. He not only lists them but shows them.
Keep reviewing ALL the cool study Bibles. Now I know what to keep an eye out for when shopping used books. Thank You!
And me.
It’s available on Logos in digital format as are several other similar Baker resources. That means it’s digitally searchable & printable in multiple languages to share! If you don’t have Logos as your digital resource library, you’re missing out!
You are new to me-you are very good @ this! Thank you!
I've been really liking the CSb translation lately. A few places are saying this Bible is out of print & only have ebook copies.
The company replied to me with:
“The CSB Baker Illustrated Study Bible is out of print. There are currently no plans to reprint and your request has been noted by the appropriate department.
Thanks”
Where did you buy yours? I can't seem to find it for sale.
My favorite Study Bible!
How do you compare this SB to the newest Baker Illustrated Background commentary?
Speaking of phased out titles, I picked up the Archaeological Study Bible from eBay, at your high recommendation. The smaller-than-usual print discourages me from delving into it as much as I’d like. And I’m not old! I’m 34 and don’t need reading glasses. Am considering purchasing a reading magnifier to put over the page of your beloved Zondervan title. In the meantime, am loving the NKJV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible and the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible. I highly recommend both. I also own the ESV Archaeology Study Bible but don’t much care for it as I do those others which are more chock-full of interesting articles, break-aways, and photos. Thanks for your in-depth reviews. Have also purchased two Jay Sklar commentaries due to your interviews with him. Picked up his latest Numbers commentary and an older Tyndale commentary on Leviticus. Thanks
I was able to pick up an Archaeological Study Bible from EBay as well and I love it. I also have the Cultural Background Study Bible but my copy is in the NRSV which isn’t my favorite translation but it’s still a great study Bible.
Now I feel old. I'm 35 and only use Large prints (10pt) for both bible and study bible. 🥲
WE also need to lobby Olive Tree software to obtain and offer the Archaeological Bible. Then you can increase the font! When you give them recommendations, they always send you a 10% off coupon!
Do you have the Biblical Theological study Bible or NET (with full notes) Bible?...love to hear your comparison to the ones you listed.
@@velvetvideoI don’t have those
I really appreciate you looking at the different takes on Romans 7. I compiled a book called The Arminian Bible Commentary and just added a quote from Tertullian that demonstrates how he understood the text. He took it as Paul describing his own past experience while under the Law. This is how I take it as well. One thing that is very telling is how English translations all too often render the present tense verb κατεργαζομένη (is working [death]) into English as if it were a past tense verb, but then they suddenly shift their methods in verse 14 ff. to rendering the present tense as presents in English. If they were consistent with their approach in verse 13 it would likely help resolve common misinterpretation of that passage. It’s sad that people take that as the normal experience of a man after he is in Christ.
This will be going on my wish list!
Hey Bev! Momma here better get this for Christmas or no more 24 lb turkeys!
@Craigs_Cartoon_Capers Michelle, This would be a great one to have! Good to see you on the Do-jo side!🎉😊
You and the Dojo were the first Bible review channels I began watching this year. You're both like family, and I enjoy and am grateful for all the both of you do! Hope all is well!@@BibleTreasuresAndReviews
I just got mineee!!! By the Grace of God, there is still a christian bookstore that sells a brandew copy of this here in my Country The Philippines!
Well this video blew up. Congrats
Best study bible I've ever used is the Thompson chain reference.
I found that on my fiancé’s bookshelf and was mad he never suggested it to me lol.
I have that Bible and I love it!!! I studied it several years ago…. I was surprised that not many people talked about it.
How do you compare this SB to the newest Baker Illustrated Background commentary?
After this review it's impossible to find one to buy!
Any idea if the folks at Baker are working on an updated edition? I would love an actual copy as opposed to a kindle edition
I know they are aware of this video and considering it. Like with all publishing decisions it comes down to demand. So the best thing to do is contact them and let them know you'd like one.
I have been unable to find this bible anywhere. Every site says "out of print". It appears by the comments that others have had the same issue. Was hoping to find one.
It is only an ebook apparently. Seems to defeat the purpose of all the helps.
This came from the baker bible commentary which has been around sinse the 80s I think, which was more recently updated to the baker illustrated bible commentary this study bible came from.
❤ I have this! My all time favorite!
Also available as an e-book. I just got it. I don’t use CSB, but that doesn’t negate the usefulness of the commentary and extras.
*Only* available as an ebook. 🙂
@@DiscipleDojo , oh - right. Because it isn’t available anymore in hard copy. Too bad. I think it’s going to be a good addition to my Bible resources. Thanks for presenting it. I’d have never known about it otherwise.
This bible looks so beatiful! Its make me want to read and pray!
I love the layout too! It's a joy to use.
Everything that they produce that is good is always discontinued by the time anyone hears about it. Wish Holman would start back producing the original HCSB bibles because those are great translations.
Yeah, I'm not sure how marketing dropped the ball so hard on this one, honestly.
I called the fine folks at Baker and requested (begged is probably more accurate) that they return this wonderful Bible to print. Unfortunately they shot me down like a clay pigeon at a skeet shoot. I am going to have to find this in acceptable condition and buy it from a guy named Vinny in a back alley somewhere.
Just find your channel. Love it. Great stuff! And I love your collection in the background 😊 Stay blessed, greetings from Germany.
Danke!
Looks cool... but I can only find the kindle version on Amazon for some reason...
I searched EVERYWHERE for this Bible and it is nowhere to be found. However, I did find the CSB HOLY LAND Illustrated Bible, and I am enjoying it. If the CSB Illustrated Study Bible ever become availabe, I am on it. ❤
i like the blue color on the footnotes and on the articles kind of reminds me of the cristian growth study bible that i own it has the 1984 text of the Niv its awsome wish more bibles did the blu intesd of the red i have a thompson chain but the red letters keep me away so i dont use it as my main bible sadly
I have this exact Bible and love the CSB translation.
I have the Baker Illustrated and the ESV Study Bible and honestly I think for in-depth study they are essentially equal in value.
For daily reading I prefer the Fire Bible and the Dr. Jeremiah Study Bible
One is Reformed Complementarian, the other is not. That is a key difference people should know when assessing them both.
Doesn't matter which one. All are Harlot Daughters, Catholicism the Mother Harlot. Therefore no difference between all the Pagan Sunday study bibles secretly published by Catholicism 🌞
🗨 Dojo 🗨 You might as well be a Catholic priest conducting Sunday Mass and push the sun disk down the throats of your adherents 😇
On sale for 830 dollars on Ebay. Truely incredible.
There's one on eBay current bid...over 500.00 dollars. 😮
From the information I could find, this Bible is no longer in print. It's too bad, as this video piqued my interest. Anyway, I'm new to your channel and want to say great video!
There is a chart i looked up online, The most accurate bibles. I beleieve this 1 is under the thougnt for thought section.
Thank you for the review. I would love to add this bible to my collection, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Please let us know when we can get a physical copy. 😃
Halley’s Bible Handbook is my go to & it’s pretty amazing. If you don’t have a copy I’d highly recommend it
I am so sad. I cannot find a used copy of this anywhere. It looks like it is still available digitally, but I really want this as a desk resource. Baker, Zondervan, why you do this?
Great Bible just went online to see if I could find it anywhere. Can’t find it anywhere. I sure would love to buy this Bible.🙌🏽✝️💯✅👍🏽😊
Email Baker and let them know! 🙂
Looks like a nice Bible. Reminds me of the ESV study Bible.
Hey! Any update on Bakers decision to reprint? Will you make an update video... I have emailed them a few times but haven't gotten a response.
Thanks for all you do DiscipleDojo!
@@BrianBull I never heard anything back from them. Looks like they decided it's not worth it financially, which is such a shame.
@@DiscipleDojo Man:(
Why did they stop printing it? I can’t find one anywhere.
@@shawnglass108 it didn't sell well enough initially.
I think we met on clubhouse some time ago. If not my bad. Good content either way.
Possibly. I was on there for a minute. :-)
@@DiscipleDojo thought so. Glad to see the growth on the page.
Thanks for this review!
One technical thing though: Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue, but even with the max resolution of this upload (720p) I still couldn't really read the text
I can’t either. He didn’t record it in high resolution. And 720p is not enough to be able to read the text.
Out of print and unavailable on Amazon.😢😢😢
This is probably a good one however, imo the John MacArthur Study BIBLE is the absolute best version available. Thanks for your content- God bless!
I am personally not a fan of study Bibles attached to celebrity preachers' names, honestly.
What is so frustrating is this week right to a clearance sale and only available in hardback, if you’re lucky. Baker print more in leather soft
I WANT ONE BUT I CANT FIND IT! It’s only available as an ebook. I want the actual book!!!😫
Any idea how i can get one?
About the crossing of the Red Sea, early in google / google maps, could have been 2010 or earlier… I was looking on google maps for topology evidence in the satellite images of the waters in the Red Sea. I actually found it! I mean I found on the maps evidence of high ground from one side to the other. And each shore side pointed out a little at the line. I was like, “oh my gosh, there is the evidence right there!” And also thought they probably remove this because it shows the evidence. I had an early iPhone at the time and wish I would have taken a picture, screen shot. Years went by and the next time I couldn’t find it again. There has got to be other sources of underwater land height images of the Red Sea. Seriously… !
I just checked Amazon and it says "currently unavailable".
Is it in Deuteronomy where Moses tells the people, "...God has multiplied your numbers by the thousands...". I always saw that as a limiter when seeing the order of the tribes striking out in the desert.
I've been a Christian for almost 34 years. I've NEVER heard any of the names of the people involved in this Bible. What circle of the Body are they from? How could I have known them? Where would I have heard or read them?
@@grannyinthesticks biblical scholarship circles. They write the resources and commentaries most evangelical pastors use when studying and preparing their sermons.
Thanks for this review - very useful.
Where could I find this Bible even used? I cannot find it for the life of me. Or is there someone who wants to sell one.
I'm bummed that Amazon doesn't stock several of the (print version) study Bibles that you recommend. 😕
Great review. I'd never heard of this one. How does it compare to the Moody Bible Commentary?
I got the kindle but would prefer a print copy if it were available
This sounds very good for a Study bible - and though I think I'd like it for doing bible studies - I have never liked using a study bible for my daily bible reading. This is because I find the notes very distracting. But for doing a study with others, I think it would be very useful.
Do you have any idea where I could find this Bible? I only see it offered in Ebook format and I'm told that format does not allow printing. I would be willing to print it myself if I could get a printable option. I contacted Baker Publishing and they responded that they do not intend to bring this Bible back in print format. I really want a copy of this Bible! Thank You.
I have no idea.
I just got one from thrift books! Thanks.
The Bible app on your phone with a search function, translation function and voice narration - along with a web browser and TH-cam a swipe away, is the best study Bible ever conceived. No book even comes close to that degree of context and insight availability.
In case anyone wanted to know. Olive Tree has this Bible available to purchase
Can’t wait!
I have this.. I’ve found at least 3 issues with cross references to wrong places… still love it
this looks really cool, thank you for telling others about this
Although I like hard copies for books like this, given that it is no longer in print, I think there is value in getting the Kindle version which is at a reasonable price.
Thanks for the review. Could you also review the MacArthur Study bible?
James Michael! You just popped up on my algorithm! ❤
Woohoo! What's up, friend!
I would be very curious if the baker illustrated commentary (that is still in print) is comparable on the balanced notes.
I reached out to Baker House and this morning, March 3, 2024, I received the following reply from Deb Fawley at Baker House Publishing: "Thank you for contacting us. I am not aware of any plans to reprint this Bible."
Wow! Very good study Bible!
Have you reviewed the Thompson Chain Reference study Bible?
I have not. If anyone wants to send me a copy I'm happy to do so, but I've honestly never found much use for it the few times I have browsed through one in a bookstore.
