I would also recommend The Jesus Bible, The Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, The NLT Illustrating Bible, The Complete Jewish Study Bible, The Holy Land Illustrating Bible, a good Bible Dictionary, a solid basic study Bible like the ESV, a devotional version like She Reads Truth Bible, a basic journaling version like the CSB Notetaking Bible, and the Archaeological Study Bible along with a good Bible Atlas. A good basic commentary set is the Bible Knowledge Commentary Old and New Testament set. Last would be Thompson Chain Reference Bible.
Great resources and recommendations! 😊 For me, I like to have (1) a reader's Bible and (2) a study Bible. The first for just reading the text of Scripture so I know God's word and the second for in depth study. I use the ESV Reader's Bible and the ESV Study Bible for each. But I also love other translations like the CSB, the NIV, and the NLT. Each of these has a reader's Bible or something similar as well as a study Bible. I think the CSB Reader's Bible is quite beautiful. The study Bibles I like most are the CSB Study Bible, the CSB Baker's Illustrated Study Bible, the CSB Apologetics Study Bible, the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible, and the NLT Filament Bible. The NLT Filament Bible can actually double as a reader's Bible as well as a study Bible - two for the price of one! Especially if you get the original NLT Filament Bible because it is single column which makes it look and feel more like you're reading a novel. The newer NLT Filament Bibles mostly seem to be double column, at least I can't find any single column ones that are newer. Also, the NLT Filament Bible is mostly taken from the NLT Illustrated Study Bible so you get like 90% of the same material if you have the NLT Filament Bible. For super in depth study beyond a study Bible, I prefer to use Logos Bible Software. Logos is awesome. Great atlases, dictionaries, commentaries, etc. All sorts of books you can get for free or purchase and add on. Even Hebrew and Greek interlinears as well as gold standard lexicons like HALOT and BDAG. Plus the ability to search and analyze it all through various Logos apps built into the program. Logos is awesome. But I've heard good things about other Bible programs like Accordance as well.
l looked into many resources the ones I liked the most were the ones that were expensive but worth the money Mrs Gail Ripplinger "In Awe Of Thy Word" "Hazzardus Matterials" I also enjoyed Dr David Daneils "Look Whats Missing" there is a lot of youtube free videos in regards to why it is important to do your own studies to find out all points of view on a particular subject. There are also free videos that help you study the bible books individualy such as Mr Chuck Misslers videos and Mr Derek Prince videos whom have gone on to be with Jesus, the teaching are priceless and worth while watching!
This is a very helpful list of resources. Similar to the Bible dictionary but theology specific, a dictionary of theological terms is helpful for those new to and interested in systematic theology and even Church history.
I have that Bible in ESV as well and I love the layout. I really enjoy the CSB as well. I recommend the CSB single column compact Bible if you're wanting to try that out because it's super affordable and a good quality Bible. I've had mine for a couple years and it's holding up nicely. I also use the same study Bible as you lol. 🎉 I enjoyed this video! Hoping for more uploads soon! God bless you 🤍
I love the CSB Single-Column Compact Bible too! It's aesthetically pleasing, almost like a reader's Bible, with nice font, layout, etc. Very portable and easy to carry around. And it's super affordable. I got mine for around $10-$15 on Amazon. My primary translation is still the ESV, but the CSB is quickly becoming a favorite and might eventually take the #1 spot for me. Speaking of the ESV, I have the same ESV Personal Reference Bible in the video. It's also a very nice and affordable Bible. I love the layout too. One of my favorite layouts in any Bible. That said, I'm really looking forward to the publication of the ESV Single Column Heritage Bible next year. That's because the Heritage typeface is probably my favorite typeface in a Bible out of all the typefaces I've seen in any Bible in any translation (and I've seen a fair bit including in premium Bibles like Schuyler, RL Allan, Cambridge, and so on). Previously I think the Heritage was only available in the very expensive Heirloom line of Bibles from Crossway. But in Feb 2024 Crossway is set to publish a much more affordable ESV Single Column Heritage Bible.
I used to translations myself I use the CSB and the NASB both 95 and the new 2020. It takes me a long time to get through a passages scripture lol but that's okay there's literally nothing else that's better to do

I would recommend the ESV Bible Atlas over just about any other. Great maps and nearly double the content of any other atlas. Much like the ESV Study Bible, the ESV Bible Atlas is in a class by itself. This is coming from someone who has nearly a dozen atlas’s and does not use the ESV as his primary translation.
@@israelrivera3009 The ESV Atlas will certainly have more content overall (2lbs heavier than the Moody) with almost twice as many maps in total (90 vs 175) and comes with a code to access maps online. That said, the content in the New Moody Atlas is excellent and densely pack with information. As a reference volume used to inform your Bible reading the Moody is more than sufficient and unless you have a specific interest in the geology and topography of the Bible there is usually no need to have more than one Atlas.
Kind of close. I was the Council of Nicea in 396. I have never understood how Protestants have no trouble accepting the canon of the Bible that the Catholic Church laid out, but readily disregard everything else.

You know this is an excellent topic people need to be given the tools to dig into Scripture for themselves.
Love these resources. I will add them to my book list.
Great resources
ESV is a word for word translation. NLT is thought by thought translation.
Good, solid resources.
Great resources and recommendations! 😊

Wow! I couldn’t agree more. Our opinions on study methods, study Bibles, and resources are nearly identical.

Sounds like a great idea to play off different translations

I just got “The New Moodie Atlas” , do you think the ESV Atlas is also much better than this one?

@@SaneNoMore Greatly appreciated your excelent and well rounded response!
So what is that small ESV you show off at the start? ISBN?
Never knew that you have RUclips channel
I got distracted by the cat……
Get a KJV with a Strongs Concordance 313 Until I D-I-E 💯
The Pope assembled the Bible 💫
