Reformed Study Bible

[caitlincares]

Why do you think they changed the name? Did "Geneva" not mean much to most people??

I have absolutely no idea.

I would guess to make it easier to recognize for newer Reformed folks.

The New Geneva Study Bible's notes should work well, when applied to NIV text..they were originaly intended for it. The NGSB, had to be "re-tooled" for NKJV, when the projects original publisher folded.

I've looked at it..... Our local library has one available and I keep tossing the idea back and forth.....

I know MacArthur is Calvinist but he's also dispensational and premill. I have no problem with this but he simply does not do a very good job of presenting the other side of the arguments..... (Don't get me wrong. I have great respect for MacArthur)

Thanks for the recommendation though

I am a mil and have a Mac Arthur bible

But I use an Arminian KJV for most of my study .
WHY?

The entire bible teaches predestination and election, it teaches limited atonement and irresistible grace , that is where Augustine and Luther and Calvin found it, we can too.

How 'Reformed' is the MarArthur Bible? I know he's a calvinist but also a leaky dispensationalist as wel. As for the KJV, it was always my understanding that all the translators were calvinists, even King James himself. I don't think it's been tainted by arminian theology at all.

I ventured to the BIble Bookstore today.

They did not have it in stock but I ordered the Reformed Study Bible (NKJV). Previously known as the Geneva Bible.

I have many others already including the NIV Study Bible.

I had a message on my anwering machine when I got home yesterday from the book store.
They said the Bible I ordered was OUT OF STOCK.

Headed to Amazon to find one unless someone has another idea.
Thanks in advance.

Are these the same Bible?

Both have the same basic description:

The first Geneva Bible opened the pages of Scripture for all readers and provided helpful notes to assist in the understanding of its central message. The Reformation Study Bible, under the editorial leadership of reformed scholars such as R.C. Sproul and J.I. Packer, offers a modern restatement of Reformation truth for the broad evangelical community. A wonderful resource for anyone who desires to understand the impact the powerful truths of the Reformation have had on today's church. Available in the New King James Version.

Yes, if you click on the "Refomation Study Bible" & look inside, it says "formerly titled The New Geneva Study Bible"
Guess they're worrying about loosing sales, among the reformed, who know jack about the history.
