Bible Preferences?

[AceHarddrive]

Hello y'all!

I'm looking at the NIV Thompson Chain-Reference Study Bible. I was wondering what you prefer for your bibles?

Have a better one!

So long as it is hard- or leather-bound with a readable text, does it matter?

This is my bible.

I like the Ryrie commentary and it is very detailed with intro's and maps and histroy. It has way to much to talk about...look it up. The NASB is a solid translation, very good for study. NIV is more for personal enjoyment but I would not recommend it for serious study.

Jig, did you happen to look at the review near the bottom of the page? One fellow had this to say:

"Before I go any further, this edition of the Ryrie Study Bible, NAS, is NOT genuine leather. The genuine leather edition sells retail for $99, and is bound by the bindery to the Sultan of Brunei, and is an excellent, well-made and beautiful, Bible. This edition is bonded leather, is glue-bound, and is junk, plain and simple. I don't know where Moody has these bonded leather Bibles bound, but they need to find another bindery who can do some quality work. Otherwise, the Ryrie Bible is great: the font is large and dark, the helps are excellent, with in-text maps and charts, doctrinal references in the back, and great maps. I prefer it to the Scofield. But, if you have the bucks and can afford it, get the genuine leather edition instead of this."
