What are some good study bibles for ESV and/or NKJV ? Also I would like ask as a second question what would be a good textual or manuscript study bible( i.e. one bring up the various textual traditions and/or consults original languages) ?

A plain old reference Bible will serve you well, consulting commentaries when needed, but if you really want notes try the following:

Introduction to the Reformation Study Bible from R.C. Sproul

R.L. Allan Bibles (USA)
Products | Local Church Bible Publishers

I use the Westminster from TBS and highly recommend it.

ESV Study Bible

 

[High Fidelity]

I think ESV study bibles are all from the same folks, Crossway. That's who mine is by and out of the hundreds of styles I've seen, they're always Crossway.

Either way, it's an excellent resource. You can buy the hardback for maybe $35-45 on Amazon.

... OK so I took the liberty of finding it on Amazon.com and it's super cheap. $28.78.

 

[Daniel1611]

I don't believe in study Bible, so I recommend not using one. Use a King James Bible. That's all you need, and the Holy Ghost will teach you all things.

True, they are Crossway. Each publisher has their own versions for copyright reasons. I do like the ESV.

No harm in what you do. There are some really bad study bibles. I wouldn't exactly call the ESV Study Bible a bad one.

There is plenty of help out there in the internet that can make studying the Bible so much clearer.

I have a bunch of study stuff including a little theological libray in real life and on my bible study program ( I use e-sword) and I have been reading as of late a bunch of Dr Henry A. Ironside's work . I kind like how I'm doing it right now with my NKJV I sorta have made it my own study bible with my marks in it and all , but I would like to have like a commentary on hand so that why I'm looking for a study bible. What do you guys think of the Scofield study bible( particularly the one for NKJV aswell) ?

 

[mikedsjr]

I like the NET study bible and ESV study Bible.

You should download the latest e-sword software. It has everything in it that you are looking for.

I've got the latest update for e-sword and I have also gone over to bible support.com and got a bunch of modules that's how I stumbled across Dr Henry A. Ironside . What do you guys think of the New Scofield for the NKJV I'm thinking of getting it ?
