I am a walking, talking study Bible (that's a joke). I don't use the study Bibles I have, now. I will occasionally read a book-length commentary or collection of sermons, but I get more out of the Bible reading it over and over and over and over... That's just me. I think you give sound advice.
You are absolutely correct about digital study bibles. I have a digital one that is out of print. Very hard to find the resources that I am sure are in there.
I have all three types of bibles. I have quite a few study bibles including the ESV study bible, the NKJV Cultural Background study bible, and the NLT Chronological Life Application Study Bible.
Very interesting to run across you at this point in time. I'm currently on a plan to read the Bible through in a year, chronologically. There are plenty of Bible sites that will generate such a plan for you, and I am certainly using one. At any rate, you make some very valid points about having an actual chronological Bible to hand. Points which, since I am rather new in my walk, I hadn't considered initially when planning this year out. In fact, you've echoed and expanded on some of my concerns that have cropped up as I've gone along. It's good to know I"m not alone with them. And it is even better to consider your other points as well. Thanks for that and thanks for this.
glad you were able to find this useful... don't get me wrong, I love having things digitally to be able to carry everything with me, but it can be very challenging when looking at many sources at once along with your Bible
This makes sense. Thank you.
EDC Bible: Cambridge Pit Minion KJV
Desk/sermon/miscellany Bible: Cambridge Concord KJV

I love that cultural background study Bible, it is just backed with information... the Archeological Study Bible is another great one to have as well
@@aguyandhisbible That one is on my list too!
@@aguyandhisbibleI have that one as well. It has been so helpful understanding the cultural context that the original readers understood intuitively.
