    Best Study Bible?

    Instead of a Study Bible, maybe I just need a somewhat larger print version of a Bible Commentary! I've got numerous translations of the Bible in larger print, I just need the "study" information to go along with it. So I figure with a Commentary, it might have larger print than the comments...

    Best Study Bible?

    No, I wouldn't say that! I have a couple apps on my phone, but I want an actual hard copy of a Study Bible! Except for the fact I had trouble reading the one I have comfortably, I loved reading it the last two days. Having a hard copy makes me really get into the Word of God by keeping mr more...

    Best Study Bible?

    Thanks for the information! I saw that an online Bible Bookstore had most of their HCSB Bibles on sale for about 80% off so I checked into the reasoning and discovered what you mentioned. In comparing the HCSB to the CSB I prefer the HCSB. I know that in the original text He, Him, etc...

    Best Study Bible?

    After reading through various translations of the Bible I came to the conclusion that my favorites right now are the HCSB and the NKJV (with the NASB and ESV following those two). I currently have a Study Bible but back when I bought it (2007) my eyesight must have been a lot better than it is...

    Most Accurate Bible Translation Confusion....

    Thank you! Of the two, I would agree...in most instances the NKJV reads more smoothly and offers as just as clear of understanding as the NASB. Also, in looking at the number of Bibles available (from a certain online Christian retailer), the NKJV is much more readily available (at least in...

    Most Accurate Bible Translation Confusion....

    So I took this (see above) and attempted to do this (see below)... Side by side I compared the following translations: NIV, NLT, ESV, BSB (Berean Study Bible...I personally had never heard of this translation), BLB, NASB, NKJV, KJB, CSB, HCSB, CEV, GNT, ISV, NET, NHEB, APE, GWT, ASV, D-RB...

    Most Accurate Bible Translation Confusion....

    I've been comparing various Bible Translations (once again) because a pastor I've been watching on the web (since we are asked to stay in our homes) has been using the ESV translation. I have daily Bible readings in which I use an app and I try and look a variety of translations (for comparison...

    Best ESV Study Bible?

    My plan was to get a simple Large Print (eyes gotta have a font size 10 or more) Bible that offered no extra material so I could just concentrate on the Word of God and take notes as I read it. I have three other Study Bibles so didn't really see a need for another...therefore looking to get...

    Note Taking Pens and ESV Bible?

    Right now I'm thinking about getting a large print version as well as a journal to take notes in. The large print version I'm looking at has a Concordance, but I'd rather have a few more explanations at the bottom of the page and no Concordance for simplicity sake (but no such luck unless I go...

    Note Taking Pens and ESV Bible?

    Thanks for the input! Do you not have a problem with the graphite smearing? Any special type of pencil? Again, I appreciate the input! Thanks for the advice about the print size! My dream ESV Bible would be single column with an 11 or 12 point font. But it seems like all single column...

    Note Taking Pens and ESV Bible?

    Getting ready to purchase my first ESV translation Bible and am considering a couple choices*, one of which is the Single Column Journaling Bible, large print edition ESV Single Column Journaling Bible, Large Print, Mocha Bonded Leather Although I wish the font was a bit larger (9.5 pt) for my...

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    It's interesting to hear people recommend the NLT and say no way to the NIV. I remember 20 or so years ago some people saying, "the NLT is too close to a paraphrase and unreliable. The NIV is what to buy. Other than the NKJV, the NIV is the only way to go if not using the KJV." I have three...

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    Thanks for all the information! That Oasis looks incredible. Unfortunately don't have the funds for it right now but I already have an Amazon Fire 8" tablet (color/HD - they had it on special around Christmas time for around $49) and an old Amazon Kindle (b&w, no touch screen, navigate with...

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    Unfortunately I don't :( We used to have two in my city but both have closed down within the last two years. I saw these Bibles at our local Barnes and Noble. I appreciate all the help. I guess I'm just old school and prefer to have the Bible in my hand. Other websites (FB, T-W, Yahoo...

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    What I found interesting when I started looking at Bibles from different manufacturers is how different the size of the text really depends on the font used. Zondervan's "large print (11.4 point)" is about my minimum size I could go with and their "giant print (14 point)" is about the max I...

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    Thanks for the recommendation and the link! I'm not familiar at all with the MEV but I'll definitely look into it further!!! Is there a specific date in which the updated KJV occurred or will it say updated in the description? Thank you! BCubed

    Which Translation of Bible to Add?

    I appreciate the link....plan on watching it later today! Are there any current translations you feel are anywhere close to the accuracy of the KJV, but simpler to read? I ask because after looking at my copies of the study bibles I currently have: NASB, the NLT, and the NKJV; my old eyes are...

    Which translation is this?

    Thank you for finding that for me!!! What's really crazy is: if I click on your link and go left and right verse by verse it's identical to what he said, BUT, if I click in the middle for it to show all of 1 Corinthians chapter 13, it no longer has exactly what he said! WHAT? So, if you view...

    Which translation is this?

    Thank you for all the fantastic information...very enlightening! I was trying to get the same translation he used, if I didn't already have it, so I could read along. I was trying to figure it out for myself...but I was lost. What's interesting is that on the screen they showed the NLT, but...

    Which translation is this?

    I was looking at the contemporary service (online) of a church I'm thinking of attending with a friend of mine. The pastor was reading, as if from the Bible, but I can't figure out which translation he was reading from. At first I thought it was the The Living Bible, but then I thought it...
