Pastor, I absolutely love watching you review Bibles! The love you have for Bibles is so very evident! I have 28 Study Bibles and I am not going to stop buying them any time soon!! God bless you pastor....
@@spanishfly7709 I have a lot of study bibles as well..mostly because the more a bible is used the more wear and tear goes into it.. pages get scruffed they get filled up with notes.. and sometimes when a person goes to replace a favorite study bible.. it has been updated.. such as the one shown here... the KJV study bible that I have used for years.. was re published in 2017 with the new full color look...there are also different translations to consider.. I like to be well rounded.. since the Falwell notes very from the Spurgeon notes.. from the MacArthur notes.. this way.. one studying can get different perspectives of a passage.. then weigh out the one that they consider is most suitable.. ..some are similar.... others are polar opposites in view.... Bibles such as anything we treasure are legacies.. which we can leave to future generations.... so buying or hording study bibles is never simply aesthetic.. any ofthe earthly things I valued over the years.. music cd s..clothes..etc.. will all burn up one day like so much rubbish.... it is comforting to know that my writings and discoveries in these study bibles..may be a help to later generations should the Lord ..tarry...
@@hydeekimble2626 This is the exact reason i buy printed study bibles, I think were not far frome the time that the word of God is going to be banned in all digital formats and also if for some reason were cut off from electrical power were not gonna be able to see our digital stuff.
I appreciate your passion for bibles I love study bibles specially the color ones. I did decide today going back to the kjv. I was using the CSB. Kjv is more difficult but with Thomas Nelson's study bible it helps and I've learned to how to use a study bible.
As you review the King James Study Bible,a thought keeps going through my mind I got to buy this Bible.The hardcover is fine with me.I got to save some money to buy my own copy.Thanks for the review unlike other so called reviews who spent more time on the materials then the stitching and so forth without even the features of the Bible being review.Looking forward for watching more videos.
Hello again, Pastor. I bought this same copy and it arrived yesterday. It is a beautiful Bible. There are some issues with pages sticking together, especially on the pages with photos. I agree with you on the weight. It is very heavy. As a Pastor, you could preach from it and bang it on the pulpit. I'm sure that would wake up anyone nodding off or not paying attention. LOL
every new bible I have bought has had some pages stick due to the factory gilding process.. thats a blessing....that way I know for sure I am the first person aside from the factory to be holding that bible.. what is NOT a blessing is when I have bought a used bible.. and I have purchased several over the years from ebay..... and I still find some pages stuck.. this tells me the one I bought it from did Not go thru their bible as they should have been..... and this saddens me.. I wish everyone would open up all of God's word....I would almost rather get a used bible with some coffee stains on it or rub marks.. or bent pages then to see an unused...used bible...
I have messaged Harper Collins at Nelson publishing site...on this.. Christian Book Distributors shows they are expecting some in within the next month or so of the regular print.. no ,mention of the Large print full color Nelsons...I think I would really enjoy an updated color version of the one I have.... immensely.. thanks for showing it...
here is a copy of my response back to them... Thank you for responding about my request.. but I was fortunate to be able to buy a copy of this at a local Christian bookstore.. but Not as inexpensive as your price.. but at least I found one... I did have a question though... upon comparing the Large print full color version which I found,,, to an older Non colored version by Nelson publishing.. I noticed the print size seems almost the same or very close.. and also the new color version print is Not as Bold.. as the original Non color one.. does this have anything to do with these newer ones being printed in China?.. or was this an executive decision made by Harper Collins.. to lighten the print.. or change the type?... was his done to offset the fact that slightly lower gsm paper is being used on the newer ones..? and the lighter print offsets the ghosting?.. because.. I did notice between the newer and older versions when compared the ghosting is about the same....thanks again Jeff C..
Pastor, thank you so much for another great review. Although I am Orthodox I really appreciate your videos. Anyway, just received one recently and love it. Thank you again and blessings.
yes that looks like a souped up version of the one I use.. but I have not seen the one like you are showing anywhere.. I will keep looking.. has it gone out of print?...
Pastor Steve, wondering if you could change how you film your Bible Reviews. I love all the commentary but, camera work with the zooming in and out does not allow the viewer to real appreciate the actual Bible. I watch because I want to see if I would like to purchase. Maybe a view focused on the Open Bible on the desk in front of you and filming from above with your voice commentary as you flip the pages for us. Just a suggestion. God Bless.
Thanks so much for this great review. After watching it, I went and ordered this Bible, solely on your recommendation, and it arrived today! I am not disappointed! It is just as amazing as you say it is! I love the print size and the colour pics and the look and feel of it and just everything about it! (As you can probably tell, I have caught your enthusiasm for it! ). I have watched some other reviews you have done too and find them really helpful. This review 'sold' me on this Bible! Thanks again!
Can you please explain the differences in Pentecostal beliefs and what this Bible has? I just bought this for my first study Bible and I’m still working on just reading the Bible being newly saved and baptized in Jesus Christ name
this bible does not believe in speaking in tongues as a valid gift or something for today.. see note on 1 cor 13:8..... and I am sure that there are other inferences of being baptized in the name of Father Son and Holy Ghost is the only baptism needed..read notes concerning Baptism of the Holy Spirit.. concerning 1 cor 12:13.... where as Pentecostals believe that annointing seperately of the Holy Ghost is one thing that to be desired and is a seperate baptism after the initial one..you won t find that in this study bible..nor.. the gift of Prophecy as one to be soughtIf you wish to find a bible with the Pentecostal view in the forefront I would recommend Thompsons..I can t remember who publishes that one... or the Fire bible by Nelson...
Another gorgeous Bible, but I can't find this version with the Large print anywhere. I'm guessing they don't make this particular version anymore. Appreciate your reviews as always.
Great review. I missed as to the font size. I'm guessing this large print is 11 or 12 point similar to the Nelson NKJV 2.0 study Bible. Also, is this Bible sewn or glued? I'm guessing glued. Thank for another great review!
Thank God for your detailed reviews! I’ve always used a kjv Scofield. After seein this.... I think ima have to make a switch. Lol. Thank u much brother
So sorry about the sentence being cut,what I'm trying to say on the last is my shock when I found that some christian bookstores in Philippines no longer sell this Bible because in your review that definitely is the best Study Bible today.
Thank you for this review. I need to start saving up to get this bible because it looks incredible! Two or three ribbons would make it perfect. I need to ask something rather important: is that a diaper or socks on your laptop?
New Life Of Albany Please do a comparison with the Holman I got that one but some of the notes bad mouth the KJV text like at the end of Mark,I really hate it when they do that,if you don't like the KJV why are you writing notes about it anyway.God bless you
Got this at Barnes and Noble round about a year ago and it's easily one of the best Bibles I've got; if anyone's looking for any KJV Study Bible, this easily should be the first choice. 😁
I have a Nelson giant print Bible which is very readable and not too big so you can hold it in one hand and it's very beautiful to look at and to read I've decided after many years that the King James version is my favorite still that's and that is all I ever read I'm now 71 years old and I wasted a lot of time on other versions of the Bible
How does this bible compare to the cultural background study bible? I really like the look of this one; however, I conduct a bible study and I love to delve into the culture of the time (i.e. understanding the wedding traditions brings a lot of clarity on Jesus' analogy to being the bridegroom and the church as His bride (relating to His second coming), etc. Thanks!
Ha! interesting.... so Nelson/Harper Collins.. responded to my note regarding this bible... and said they do not have any info on it.. nor do they anticipate getting any in in the future.. but to my surprise.. the local Christian bookstore.. happened to have one here...I was astonished... Praise the Lord !... this Christian store.. has a lot of literature about the Bible.. but about 80% of their Bibles are in modern translations.. I went there only half heartedly hoping they would have the genuine leather large print full color nelson study bible I was looking for.... and lo and behold .. they had it...Praise Jesus !!...
i had to get the hardcover of this study bible and i have the hard cover of the original kjv thomas nelson study black and white print and i now have the zondervans large print kjv study bible that has the large print concordance
I used the Zondervan study bible for a few years.. I have the regular print and the Large Print. versions ... my former pastor used it up until he passed.. God Bless Him.. I believe the Zondervan study bible is a good study bible ...the study notes in Zondervan are very well laid out.. but my preference for the last 16 years or so has been the Nelson study bible.. I love Falwell's. insights.. but as I said.. Zondervan is very good as well..And our conservative former pastor used Zondervan's up until he passed....He never preached from anything else...I bought him a new one anonymously...after he became our pastor in 2004...I signed it "to pastor from your flock.". no one else knew that it was I who bought it for him.....unless he mentioned it privately to the deacons.....I bought it.... because.. I felt his old Zondervan was getting worn out and needed to be retired.. but you know........He kept using that old one he brought with him to our church when he first came there... the whole time 15 years or so he was at our church.. I don t know what ever became of the new one.. Now I realize how precious old worn out bibles can be to those who really love God...!..
from what I have seen in my Holman Study bible... the notes do not appear to be quite as conservative... I am not saying they are secular.. but when reading thru my Holman study bible.. I don t get the feeling of genuine love of God in the commentary notes as I get when reading Falwell's....aka Nelson's....maybe it s just me....
my bad Nelso was not the one who responded ab out not being able to gegt this bible it was Christian book distributers,.. a pretty big national Christian bookstore right?...below is gtheir response to my request.... Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately, we don't carry that bible in large print you're looking for and we do not have any information on one being made in the future.
An internet search might help you to locate additional sources. We do however have a bible with all the features you are looking for but in regular font. You can view it by clicking here.
I don't see study bibles as suitable for taking to church...they're just too hulking huge. My main carry-along is the Royal Ruby, but I like to carry the Turquoise too.
consider taking a good study bible to church as a review of that study bible.. you can show it off to them as pastor Steve does in these videos.. and you may be able to direct them to what they have been searching for.. I take my study bible to church and show it to everyone.. and hold it up so everyone can see...and talk about it.. I show them the study notes..and when they compare it to their Scofields Ryries.. or life application bibles they are flabbergasted...... it gladdens my heart when I have had fellow Christians come up to me and tell me that they were overjoyed with the amount of writing and notes I had written down in mine as well.. your study bible may be a blessing to someone waiting to happen...
Even though they use the KJV their notes are based on the new version at times, so does the Holman. An example would be Galatians 5:12. They say Paul is referring to castrating themselves which is in some of the new versions, the KJV Reformation Heritage Bible has it that he means "excommunicated" which is what I believe Paul is correctly saying.
I think you are misreading the meaning of the note in this verse.. castrated does not mean a physical act of violence... "themselves castrated" .. is in a cut off sort of tone.. yes that is what happens during the physical act of castration.. but Not what is meant here... Here this Castration.. Means shunned...in other places Paul has expressed this as Maranatha.as in .1 cor 16:22
I was going through my Bibles to search out which ones had the words of Revelation 4:1 in Red... and found that my Barbour bible did... but my NIV bible is Not in red lettering so I could not tell regarding the NIV... all my ESV's are Not red lettering so I could Not tell there... but I found in the "Full" Life study bible.. and the "Fire" Study Bible... and the "Life in the Spirit" study bible.. all 3 of those had the words in red.... Yet the Spirit filled Life.. which is related to those 3 did NOT... but my "Spirit filled Life".. though it has the same notes as those... it is a NKJV...I do not know if that would make a difference.. .. but it seems odd.. that the 4 bibles being so similar.. yet that one is different in that respect..
Open bible does not have near the notes compared to the Nelson study bible...KJV....if you want a study bible stick with looking for one with the words "study bible ".. in it s title.. most reference bibles I have found do not have a lot of study notes.. their Forte is cross referencing scripture.. which is good.. but why get one that just cross references scripture.. when a "study bible" does both ?.. it has notes and cross references.. both...
What is the difference between the Thomas Nelson King James Study Bible Full Color Edition and the Second Edition? Which would you suggest one getting?
Hello I was wondering if you may have a recommendation for a Bible that does not have any study notes or references? Just a plain quality KJV or NKJV Bible. Thank you & I am really enjoying all your videos.
I can agree on the Cambridge pastor mentioned.. it is very well made of high quality.. and still partly affordable...a bible that will last lifetimes...
another interesting difference I noted... where as.. the prior Nelson bibles I have use the Nelson.. standard maps that went into various translations published by them... has been replaced by the Zondervan maps.. on this bible... the Zonderman maps from what I coan tell seem to be more detailed...which is good.. but as you pointed out.. these maps do NOT show Israel going thru any water during their Exodus flight.. but neither do the Nelson maps.. which I had noticed some time back and was wondering about.. its almost as if they don t want people to believe the Red Sea event.. just saying,.. it seems quirky.. the other thing I noticed is a b ig help which a lot of bibles don t do is... have an index to the maps.. to easily locate.. various..cities and areas.. I don t know why this is not included with every bible that contains maps...cities like Jerusalem or Bethlehem aren t hard to locate but what about cities like Scythopolis?...
An Amazon reviewer said that eventually there would be tearing with continued use. Do you feel the paper quality would be a barrier to buying this? I would not like it if I was spending a lot of money for an inferior product.
I have been studying bible paper quality as of late ...since I have recently started purchasing higher end bibles...now these high end bibles start at over 200.00... when I got some and looked at the reviews.. I was disappointed to find that many of these expensive bibles have downgraded to a 28 gsm paper opaqueness.. they at one time were 36 gsm.. they did this to offset the weight.. a bible containing 36 gsm paper as opposed to 28 gsm paper can weigh between 1 to 2 lbs less.. these publishers maintain it s to make the bibles lighter to carry and more convenient.. but when they did this they compromised.. the writing capability in them.. a simple ink pen written on these pages can cause "ghosting".. or shadowing on the opposite side of the paper.. not to mention the easier to tear factor...thereby..making therir desire ability for everday study..Not appealing..... however ....I discovered that Nelson maintains a paper of between 36-38 gsm.. on most of their bibles.. and the wide margings about 42-48 gsm in opaqueness... the high end bible wide margins are a little more opaque as well but they do not come close to the Nelson s.. or even the Zondervans and others that are in general public use...I would still use a dry highlighters even on Nelson s.. unless you get a wide margin.. these take some getting used to and don't stand out as well as wet highlighters.. but you don't have to worry about paper curling from the wetness of the marker or bleeding thru.. and for heavens sake even on Nelson bibles.. don't lick your fingers to help turn a page unless you don't mind corners curling or gradually becoming dog eared.....
Please do compare the Thomas Nelson and the Holman Full color study Bibles. I have Nelson's and the KJV study bible without the updated graphs, pictures etc.
Pastor Steve Waldron, Is this the same KJV study bible as they had before, but they just added full color? Or have they added a lot of editions to it? I have the KJV study bible by the Thomas Nelson. Does this KJV Study Bible full color have the same commentary as the Thomas Nelson NKJV but KJV? It looks like it has much more then my KJV STudy bible from about 10 years back. Would you recommend this Study Bible or the Holman NKJV Study Bible first. I've got the KJV text already, but as a study bible, would you recommend this one or the NKJV Holman?
I can honestly tell you the full color version that came out in 2017 has some things added ..here is a list...that has been added after Revelation TOPICAL INDEX TO CHRIST AND THE GOSPELS ...14 PAGES TOPICAL INDEX TO PAUL AND HIS LETTERS.....12 PAGES TOPICAL INDEX TO END TIMES PROPHECY...10 PAGES WORD STUDY INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CONCORDANCE THE MAP SECTION IS MORE DETAILED...The maps as stated on the copyright page are from the Zondervan study bible which has more detailing in them then the standard Nelson maps.... ...even with all these features.. and in the Large Print.. which does not appear to me to be much larger than the prior regular print Nelson KJV study bible..... and with the extra maps added throughout the text this bible is only about 204 more pages in length... a total of about 2232 as opposed to the original of 2178.....
another big difference with the newer version is that the commentary notes at the bottom are in double column as opposed to the single column notes of the original.. in other words the layout of the notes read like the bible itself.. not all the way from all the way from the left to all the way to the right...
If you want to try the Holman you can but... imo ...the Nelson is way better... and they Do make a Holman study bible in the KJV.. or at least they once did... I have one....
comparing in just the book of Judges... in the original KJV nelson you have 5 maps.. in the full color version you get 6 maps at least 4 of which are full page maps and 5 geographic paintings depicting the areas involved as well ....the maps are updated maps with more detailing in them than the original ones that cme in this bible as well...
I have seen so many different reading plans over the years from reading the bible stright thru.. to ones jumping around..from psalms to O.T. to N.T.. I think reading 4 to 5 vhapters a day,,.. will get a person thru their bible completely... just mark off your place day to day and you ll be fine.. I never enjoyed jumping around the way some do that is why I read from cover to cover...My problem is I don t like to read and not fully grasp what I am reading.. I ve talked to so many people over the years that could boast about how many times in their life they have read their bible thru.. yet they don t have any bible knowledge.they could not even recite all the books of the bible in order.. from start to finish.. I think a person that has read God s word several times should be able to do at least that much.. there is no good in reading a bible thru if one cannot remember much of it. or understand it.. like Phillip said to the Eunich.. "Understandest thou what thou readest..?".. the Eunich did not keep reading but stopped and beckoned Phillip to explain to him what he was reading...some just read to stay up with the bible plan.. I myself do not feel God s word can be read like that.. so I always stop and look up things such as locations people etc,,.. any time I am not sure what something is ,I investigate it further... I don t get my bible read in a year.. but I leave it feeling closer to God...
Greetings Pastor. Is this Bible the same as the KJV 2nd Edition except for the color format? Also, is the text size the same? The leather soft looks great. However, have you seen a leather edition? If so, how does it compare? Is the color format and features enough to warrant the purchase instead of the Nelson 2nd Edition? I have been using the 1st edition for years and decided to purchase another Nelson or a Thompson Chain Bible. The Thompson and the color KJV are the only ones to offer a leather option. Too bad the Nelson 2nd does not have the option. Thanks in advance for your reply.
This is now my go to study Bible kjv to take to church than my large print full color big KJV study and I study from the Nelson KJV full color study Bible
I believe this KJV study bible was first put out by Jerry Falwell through his Old Time Gospel Hour program back in the early 80s. It was called the "Liberty Annotated Study Bible". The scholarship behind this Bible was from the faculty of Liberty Bible College (now Liberty University). How Thomas Nelson acquired the rights to print it is unknown to me. I just hope Thomas Nelson has sewn bindings now on their Bibles. They have been producing some garbage publications as far a quality goes.
You are correct.. Nelson started producing these originally back in the late 90 s I believe.. though some Liberty bibles are still floating around on ebay...today... Nelson increased the concordance size.. but the main notes are the same.. thank God for that.. I love Falwells insights on many things..I have been reading oit of mine.. since around 2005.. I had it rebound.. and it is still my go to bibke.. but I had to go out and get this new version of it in full color... couldn t resist....
every study bible may have some elements that may seem off.. or you may feel could have been expounded on more... for one.. this bible's commentary states that the sons of God in Job 1:6 are angelic beings,.. where as I have come to believe that these righteous individuals.. assembling to pray with God in their midst as Jesus taught when we gather to pray..God is in our midst.. where 2 or more are gathered...Matt 18:20 ... I may be wrong.. but then again a few other commentators such as John Gill and Matthew Henry and others have suggested my belief is possible.. let me say this .....and take it for what it's worth.... there is a saying that goes.."don't throw out the baby with the bathwater",.. apply it here,.. don't discount this whole bible on a few iffy notes...Most of the notes are excellent as pastor stated...
good question... the notes are totally different .. the NKJV Nelson.. is similar to the Holman in as the notes on the NKJV seem to be arranged and edited by less conservative individuals.. the notes are informative..you can tell the ones involved were scholarly... but I definitely get a different feeling toward God s word.. when going thru the Nelson KJV study bible as opposed to the NKJV study bible by Nelson.....some may like the NKJV notes.. but I will tell you they are NOT the same ..I did not care for them as well as this KJV study bible..
I agree with pastor Steve on the choice between Spurgeon and Nelson.. who ever published the Spurgeon study bible .. I can t remember who.. really skimped on the notes.. considering how many writings of Spurgeon s there are.. and how maqny years he preached.. they could have made a bible with the amount of notes the Matthew Henry bible has... but did not.... many pages have hardly any notes at all ...if any.. I got the impression that the publisher just slapped Spurgeon's name on the bible to make a quick buck.. but did not truly care if this bible was a help to anyone in there christian walk...I was very disappointed in it.. you wont be with the Nelson study bible...
Thanks for your review..... I have two of the Thomas Nelson's Study Bible and it's just time for another one. I pray that I don't have to buy another one, but after seeing your review, I will get the full color version.
One of the differences and a very important one at that is in Genesis 1:2 where it says "the Spirit of God". In this Bible the word "Spirit" has a capital 's' meaning God Himself, whereas the non-full color 2nd edition has a small 's' designating something like an angel. My advice is before you purchase a Bible check to see if certain words are spelled differently as the spelling can give a totally different meaning or perspective then what was originally intended and can result in a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of the Scripture passage. There are plenty of internet sites that are devoted to this subject. 📖🙏
I am not sure which bible you are reading from....... the 2nd edition?.. I have bibles dating from this bible's inception with the Liberty Annotated bible 1988 to the Nelson study bibles I purchased in 2004 and 2005.. and one that was rebound printed in 2008...I just bought off ebay .... and now this one.. And All of these have the word Spirit... with a capital letter "S"....
please specify if this is from Nelson...Publishing.?.. I would be curious.. you may have a one of a kind misprinted bible.. someone may buy that one from you and give you a lot.of money.. like a misprinted coins are valuable also...... if it Does have the "s" as a small letter
the study bible I am referring to has these for its contributing editors.. WAYNE A. BRUNDLE CARL J. DEIMER EDWARD G. DOBSON JERRY FALWELL PAUL R. FINK JAMES A. FREERKSEN EDWARD E. HINDSON DANIEL R. MITCHELL RICHARD D. PATTERSON RONALD C SAUER STEPHEN R. SHRADER ELMER L. TOWNS ROBERT W.YARBROUGH
from what I know the Criswell Study bible is Not the pre bib le to the Falwell bible.... the Falwell bible I believe started out as either the Virginia study bible .. so named from Virginia University.... then either that became the Liberty Stidy Bible or vice versa.. with the end result being the Thomas Nelson study bi ble edited by Jerry ZFalwell.. the Criswell and Liberty or Falwell bible.. are NOT the same nor ever have been.. the notes and maps are totally different.. but I agree that the Criswell bible DID evolve into the Believers study bible....
I've got both editions of this study bible. It's ok. I disagree with some of the commentary such as Job 40: 15-17 talking ab how Behemoth moves his tail like a cedar & the commentary wants you to believe the bible is talking ab a hippopotamus.. Makes me wonder if they've ever actually seen a hippo's tail. Other than that, it stays away from giving commentary on real controversial verses. It affirms 'grace thru faith' when it's spoken of, but in other commentary it'll try correcting the KJV. Every study bible I've read tries this though. Holman study bible has a bit better quality commentary, but Thomas Nelson does give more info ab things such as the covenants in the OT, the concept of the Trinity, feast days, ect.. It's good to have a few different study bibles. Never go with strictly one. Have two or three. Some give insight on verses or topics others ignore entirely. I'd recommend this study bible. Just know where God's word ends & man's opinion begins! Great review, Pastor! Love your review vids. I've been a King James Bible reader for some time now. Are there any other translations you recommend? It's not that I'm trying to get away from the KJV, it'll always be my personal authority when it comes to what scripture says. I have been looking for a translation that is comparable, though. Does one exist?
the KJVER is out now.. you may try that translation.. its basically the KJV easy reader.. so nothing is changed just the thee s and thou s etc.. re worded.... the 1901 ASV isn t too bad.. but there are places I think that one could have done better... and many who are trying to read something comparable have been reading the NASB. and comparing it.. the MEV is very similar to the KJV.. and others like the ESV.. but remember there is only one bible like the KJV completely and its the... KJV.......KJV II is pretty close.. I think it was an experiment the translators tried out before the NKJV...
also in regards to the notes regarding Job 40:15,... if you check the cross reference in the middle of the page it states.." a large animal, exact identity unknown".... so I guess you have a choice which note you will lean to... I myself believe these creatures,,.. were the Dinosaurs of the prehistoric age... as well as carbon dating is wrong telling us.. that Dinos existed millions of years ago...which they did not...the fossils that they find are probably only a few thousand years old.. and one day accurate science will tell us so...
@@jeffcarlson3269 In my study bible, the cross reference system tells me nothing. It gives no additional details. All I know is that an elephant or hippopotamus' tail looks nothing like a cedar tree & that's where the words of God & men split.
@@TragedysHalo are you using the Nelson Study Bible?... I found the reference on Job 40:15 in the middle of the page on both my 2017 version and in my 2005 version..... not sure why yours would not have the statement regarding" a large animal exact identity unknown " in it... verse 17 it states.. stones...from the text means thighs... and these are tightly knit together.. It does not mention anything in regards to the significance of a cedar however...I guess that is where other commentaries.. such as Langes Pulpit or Barclays etc.. would come in handy... I agree with you on the notes in the commentary below... I think the editors are off base saying this is a hippo and crocadile respectively.. but I guess all this shows that even scholars can be wrong now and then.. when I used to teach the adult class in Sunday School years ago any comments I pulled from study bibles and used I would premise with the words..."some scholars believe".. this way everyone understood that what I was saying.. was not only my own God given revelation,.. but they would also understand there is a certain margin of error.. in anyones logic... not any particular scholar has All the answers.. but I think for the most part the Nelson study bible is a good one.. I don t believe in his comments regarding Job 1:6 either.. he states these are angelic beings .. yet some scholars take these sons of God.. to be righteous men gathered in prayer...it could even be Job was one of these sons of God mentioned.. but the sons of God were not privy to God s conversation with Satan...God is in the midst of those gathered in prayer..even today.. but we can t physically hear him... it could be the devil and God were talking about Job s future trials.. and Job was there but did not hear them...
This is the only Bible I have ever seen that quotes a Scripture and then proceeds to argue with what it plainly says. If you don't believe that, look at what the notes are on Hebrews 7:1-3. Brother Steve, please look at that closely because I don't believe a godly man like you are would want to endorse a Bible with notes that argue with the very text of the Scripture.
I am not sure what you are impying.. upon reading these notes it seems to me that Falwell is giving an unbiased outlook on the charachter of Melchizedek,,.. presenting the pros and cons as to the possibilities of what he represents...If you ll notice in the actual bible text Melchizedek is capitalized.. this would make me think that this study bible Does believe He may be a Theophany or Christophony...when He describes in his notes this Melchizedek..was a king of a literal city in Canaan.. Falwell was not stating He was human... could this king be like Christ 100% man and 100% God..?..and verse 3 does state "made like unto the Son of God".. I will say that perhaps the word "son"..in tyhe bottom notes.. may have been a typographical mistake...I do not think Falwell wa trying to subtley hint that Melchizedek was Not divinity in the form of man.... I would not read into what the editors are trying to say.. but they are not actually saying...otherwise every study bible you read you will find fault with...
@@warrior4god734 wow yuo guys got yours cheap!!.. I just bought mine and after using 2 gift cards I got last Christmas.. it still cost me 43.00...!! sorry I waited so long.. bibles just keep going up in price....
Salvation is based ONLY upon one's Repentance toward GOD, and Faith toward Our Lord Jesus Christ - not on what idiotic or proper doctrine one might hold later. Once one is saved, they are always saved, for that is the Word of GOD, according to His Grace - as sinful as we are, if we could ever commit a sin that could lose our Salvation, we would do it, but that would frustrate the Grace of GOD - GOD knows how dumb we are, and saves us in spite of ourselves, for it is based upon Who His Son is, and what He did ONCE on the Cross, then Rose Again. The Pretribulation belief is the proper, Biblical one, in that the next thing on the Agenda is Christ coming in the air for the Saints, then returning with them to Heaven. On Earth then will be the seven year Tribulation, then Jesus will come back and stand upon the Mount of Olives, as prophesied in ZECHARIAH, then vanquish Israel's enemies, and ALL ISRAEL as a Nation will be saved, having realised that Jesus is their Messiah, and Christ will rule and reign for a thousand years from Jerusalem, and all nations are to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, else suffer drought. After the thousand years is one last rebellion, which Jesus will destroy, then the New Heavens and the New Earth. Hallelujah !
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa Did I say that ? I certainly did not. I made it clear that we are saved by Grace through Faith, based on our Repentance toward GOD and Faith only in Jesus Christ, and I never said that any sin we commit was OK for anyone - sin is an affront to GOD, and is never Okay, but GOD knows we are all sinners, which is why He sent His Son to bleed and die on the Cross for us in the first place. If sin was alright, why do that ? So sure, people sin in many ways, and even those who are born again do so - it is almost unavoidable, because we are sinful beings. This does not mean we take the Grace of GOD lightly, and do what we want after we are saved. If we have repented, this means we have had a change of heart and mind towards those things, and GOD convicts us against that. Anyone who then willfully sins is then disobeying GOD, and must repent of that also, and as they Bible says, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we sin, we lose fellowships with GOD, but not the Relationship - we are still His Children by Faith in Jesus Christ. This is why the Apostle Paul went all out to show Christians that although we are called to Liberty in Christ, in that we are not bound by stifling regulations, this does not give us any licence to sin, and the idea of being a Christian is that one has a new life in Christ - we are a new Creature, and thus, although we are secure in Christ, and cannot lose that Salvation, there is no excuse nor justification for taking it lightly, for there are consequencces for all that we do or do not do - and I NEVER suggested otherwise - maybe it was simply that I did not explain all of this in the first comment I made. Thus, man is sinful, born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve, and through the Ages GOD showed that man could not please GOD by his own efforts - the Law could not save, and was never meant to - it acts now as our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, to show us that we cannot fulfill it all - those who try doom themselves to Hell because they are trying to trust in their own efforts. So, Salvation has to be of GOD, and He did it all in Christ - our only minor part is to choose - to exercise our Free Will that GOD gave us, to repent, which only means to think again, and to believe, for we walk by Faith, not by Sight, and once we do so, GOD looks at the heart, and seals us with that Holy Spirit of Promise. Thus we begin in the Spirit, and are NOT made perfect by the flesh. If we could lose that Salvation that it took the Son of GOD to pay for by His Blood Atonement Death, Burial and Resurrection, then there remaineth no more Sacrifice for sins, and how could we maintain a Salvation by our own Good Works that we could never earn in the first place ? Thus the Grace of GOD, else Grace is no more Grace. It has to be, it makes sense. So yes, we are saved, and saved for good when we Trust in Christ, and this is why the Apostle Peter said , But Grow in Grace, and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour - we cannot do it all at once, it has to be One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, but if we are genuine, it is GOD Who changes us, as we submit to him - rather than use that Liberty as occasion to the flesh. It is He Who has drawn us, provided for our Salvation, and maintains it Himself, and there are many Christians out there doing just that - trusting only in GOD to obtain and maintain us as His Children.
@@christopherlilly5906 1 John 3:15. I’ve done several videos and written a couple of books on this subject. I’m certainly not trying to misrepresent you. God bless!
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa Okay, I appreciate that, although this is how it sounded at first. Perhaps You simply wanted me to explain what I meant, all about Eternal Security, which is Biblical. Ironically, this was not the original reason I had commented in the first place, which was actually to do with the pre Tribulation rapture idea. But certainly, it was commented that some had said if someone was not doing some thing or other they were not saved, but as I stated, the basis for Salvation in this age is Repentance toward GOD, and Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, if there is NO Repentance, so that a person hears about Christ, then says, Well, I can believe in Him, but then go on sinning all I like, He will NOT be saved, for GOD looks at the heart - remember, the devils also believe and tremble. So, knowing GOD exists is not enough, even though it is Faith that ultimately saves us. But it is based upon genuine, Spirit wrought Repentance, which is NOT a turning away from sin, as some teach, but a change of mind and of heart, which should lead to a turning from sin. One hears the Gospel, is convicted by the Holy Ghost - the only time He deals with the Unsaved, else no one could ever be born again, and then with that repentant heart, which GOD sees, places their Trust ONLY in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ, not their own person and work, and they are saved. Hallelujah! Christ baptises them with the Holy Ghost, Who Himself baptises them into Christ - all automatic, and one has the Spirit, for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His - having begun in the Spirit, neither are we made perfect by the Flesh. Thus, once one is saved, they can walk in the Spirit, and be filled again and again with the Spirit, Who enables them to follow GOD and surrender to Him. This is the clear teaching of Scripture. So yes, we are saved, for He has given us the Earnest of the Spirit, but we do not grieve the Spirit, Whereby we are sealed until the Day of Redemption. This is why they sung Amazing Grace, for the old fellahs knew what the Bible said - this is why we are to be so grateful to GOD Almighty for His Unspeakable Gift. He does not give a Gift, then take it away - none can pluck us out of the Father's Hand, not even ourselves.
I bought this Bible a few months ago for only 30 dollars. It's an amazing study bible even 5 years later. Highly recommend.
Amen!
Pastor, I absolutely love watching you review Bibles! The love you have for Bibles is so very evident! I have 28 Study Bibles and I am not going to stop buying them any time soon!! God bless you pastor....
Amen!
Is it really about God's word? Or is it about the glamour of the book to your eye?
@@spanishfly7709 I have a lot of study bibles as well..mostly because the more a bible is used the more wear and tear goes into it.. pages get scruffed they get filled up with notes.. and sometimes when a person goes to replace a favorite study bible.. it has been updated.. such as the one shown here... the KJV study bible that I have used for years.. was re published in 2017 with the new full color look...there are also different translations to consider.. I like to be well rounded.. since the Falwell notes very from the Spurgeon notes.. from the MacArthur notes.. this way.. one studying can get different perspectives of a passage.. then weigh out the one that they consider is most suitable.. ..some are similar.... others are polar opposites in view.... Bibles such as anything we treasure are legacies.. which we can leave to future generations.... so buying or hording study bibles is never simply aesthetic.. any ofthe earthly things I valued over the years.. music cd s..clothes..etc.. will all burn up one day like so much rubbish.... it is comforting to know that my writings and discoveries in these study bibles..may be a help to later generations should the Lord ..tarry...
@@jeffcarlson3269 also, it's going to come a time when I imagine Bibles will not be printed anymore and banned from use. Buy them!!
@@hydeekimble2626 This is the exact reason i buy printed study bibles, I think were not far frome the time that the word of God is going to be banned in all digital formats and also if for some reason were cut off from electrical power were not gonna be able to see our digital stuff.
It would be nice if an overhead camera was used so as to constantly have a view of the inside of the Bible being reviewed!
Good idea!
That's what I miss too! 😉
I agree.. but pastor Steve would need a remote to do the zooms ...umless he knows of a goo spider camera bug..lol
I bought this bible after seeing your review. I absolutely love it! It is an entire study library.
Worth every penny!
Thank you for this review. I just ordered this exact study bible. I am so excited and cant wait to get it!
Hope you enjoy it!
I appreciate your passion for bibles I love study bibles specially the color ones. I did decide today going back to the kjv. I was using the CSB. Kjv is more difficult but with Thomas Nelson's study bible it helps and I've learned to how to use a study bible.
Thanks for sharing!!
My dad bought me this for Christmas. I couldn't be happier. I have already started my Bible reading plan.
Awesome!
As you review the King James Study Bible,a thought keeps going through my mind I got to buy this Bible.The hardcover is fine with me.I got to save some money to buy my own copy.Thanks for the review unlike other so called reviews who spent more time on the materials then the stitching and so forth without even the features of the Bible being review.Looking forward for watching more videos.
Hello again, Pastor. I bought this same copy and it arrived yesterday. It is a beautiful Bible. There are some issues with pages sticking together, especially on the pages with photos. I agree with you on the weight. It is very heavy. As a Pastor, you could preach from it and bang it on the pulpit. I'm sure that would wake up anyone nodding off or not paying attention. LOL
Amen!
every new bible I have bought has had some pages stick due to the factory gilding process.. thats a blessing....that way I know for sure I am the first person aside from the factory to be holding that bible.. what is NOT a blessing is when I have bought a used bible.. and I have purchased several over the years from ebay..... and I still find some pages stuck.. this tells me the one I bought it from did Not go thru their bible as they should have been..... and this saddens me.. I wish everyone would open up all of God's word....I would almost rather get a used bible with some coffee stains on it or rub marks.. or bent pages then to see an unused...used bible...
I have messaged Harper Collins at Nelson publishing site...on this.. Christian Book Distributors shows they are expecting some in within the next month or so of the regular print.. no ,mention of the Large print full color Nelsons...I think I would really enjoy an updated color version of the one I have.... immensely.. thanks for showing it...
Thank you so much for your review. I ordered this bible today❤️
You are so welcome!
here is a copy of my response back to them...
Thank you for responding about my request.. but I was fortunate to be able to buy a copy of this at a local Christian bookstore.. but Not as inexpensive as your price.. but at least I found one... I did have a question though... upon comparing the Large print full color version which I found,,, to an older Non colored version by Nelson publishing.. I noticed the print size seems almost the same or very close.. and also the new color version print is Not as Bold.. as the original Non color one.. does this have anything to do with these newer ones being printed in China?.. or was this an executive decision made by Harper Collins.. to lighten the print.. or change the type?... was his done to offset the fact that slightly lower gsm paper is being used on the newer ones..? and the lighter print offsets the ghosting?.. because.. I did notice between the newer and older versions when compared the ghosting is about the same....thanks again Jeff C..
Pastor, thank you so much for another great review. Although I am Orthodox I really appreciate your videos. Anyway, just received one recently and love it. Thank you again and blessings.
God bless you!
Orthodox here as well, but these reviews are amazing! I love this channel.
yes that looks like a souped up version of the one I use.. but I have not seen the one like you are showing anywhere.. I will keep looking.. has it gone out of print?...
I don’t think so...
Pastor Steve, wondering if you could change how you film your Bible Reviews. I love all the commentary but, camera work with the zooming in and out does not allow the viewer to real appreciate the actual Bible. I watch because I want to see if I would like to purchase. Maybe a view focused on the Open Bible on the desk in front of you and filming from above with your voice commentary as you flip the pages for us. Just a suggestion. God Bless.
We’re trying!
Thanks so much for this great review. After watching it, I went and ordered this Bible, solely on your recommendation, and it arrived today! I am not disappointed! It is just as amazing as you say it is! I love the print size and the colour pics and the look and feel of it and just everything about it! (As you can probably tell, I have caught your enthusiasm for it! ). I have watched some other reviews you have done too and find them really helpful. This review 'sold' me on this Bible! Thanks again!
Amen! Great
Can you please explain the differences in Pentecostal beliefs and what this Bible has? I just bought this for my first study Bible and I’m still working on just reading the Bible being newly saved and baptized in Jesus Christ name
Pretty much Jesus Name baptism and Holy Ghost with tongues would not be endorsed. Maybe some other nuances as well.
this bible does not believe in speaking in tongues as a valid gift or something for today.. see note on 1 cor 13:8..... and I am sure that there are other inferences of being baptized in the name of Father Son and Holy Ghost is the only baptism needed..read notes concerning Baptism of the Holy Spirit.. concerning 1 cor 12:13.... where as Pentecostals believe that annointing seperately of the Holy Ghost is one thing that to be desired and is a seperate baptism after the initial one..you won t find that in this study bible..nor.. the gift of Prophecy as one to be soughtIf you wish to find a bible with the Pentecostal view in the forefront I would recommend Thompsons..I can t remember who publishes that one... or the Fire bible by Nelson...
I have two of that exact Study Bible... I use one for study at home and one for Bible study at church
That one is definitely on my wishlist great review brother
Another gorgeous Bible, but I can't find this version with the Large print anywhere. I'm guessing they don't make this particular version anymore. Appreciate your reviews as always.
I'm not sure
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa I was finally able to find one of these, and it is amazing. Such a nice Bible, thanks for bringing my attention to it.
Great review. I missed as to the font size. I'm guessing this large print is 11 or 12 point similar to the Nelson NKJV 2.0 study Bible. Also, is this Bible sewn or glued? I'm guessing glued. Thank for another great review!
Friend I think it’s sewn. Yes, the print size is probably similar. God bless you!
I believe the font size is 10 or 20.5 point.. I don t think ist 11 or 12..... it is slightly larger than usual bibles in these dimensions
I meant 10-10.5 pt....
A great review of a great Bible. I'm looking forward to getting these on to my store. Thank you for sharing brother!
Amen!
Burton Bibles I really enjoy mine I haven’t even made it past the first page of genesis because there’s so much information
One of the BEST study Bibles ever made
I agree
Thank God for your detailed reviews! I’ve always used a kjv Scofield. After seein this.... I think ima have to make a switch. Lol. Thank u much brother
Amen!
Scofield is biased I think
So sorry about the sentence being cut,what I'm trying to say on the last is my shock when I found that some christian bookstores in Philippines no longer sell this Bible because in your review that definitely is the best Study Bible today.
Thank you for this review. I need to start saving up to get this bible because it looks incredible! Two or three ribbons would make it perfect.
I need to ask something rather important: is that a diaper or socks on your laptop?
Haha! Handkerchief.
New Life Of Albany Please do a comparison with the Holman I got that one but some of the notes bad mouth the KJV text like at the end of Mark,I really hate it when they do that,if you don't like the KJV why are you writing notes about it anyway.God bless you
I love these reviews! I order mine Friday. Pastor Steve should get a commission since he sold it to me!
Haha! Amen
I agree.. his reviews are great.. He tells it like it is good or not so good....
bless u pastor I just bought this Bible and it has pictures of Christ is pictures of Christ a violation of the second commandment thanks for answering
i have so many of his bibles i want this one too.
Which study Bible would you recommend for a Pentecostal?
Premier Study Bible
Is it Smythe sewn? Lord bless you. Thank you for your feedback.
Too my knowledge, yes
Got this at Barnes and Noble round about a year ago and it's easily one of the best Bibles I've got; if anyone's looking for any KJV Study Bible, this easily should be the first choice. 😁
Amen!
I've got the Holman one you're referring to - ran into Pastor Brett while I was looking for Bibles for his ministry, he suggested it to me.
Amen! I’ve got a good friend in Sacramento that preaches out of it. Love it and recommends it to others.
Thanks so much for the review Pastor! Great commentary on it!I really love mine!
Glad to hear it!
I have a Nelson giant print Bible which is very readable and not too big so you can hold it in one hand and it's very beautiful to look at and to read I've decided after many years that the King James version is my favorite still that's and that is all I ever read I'm now 71 years old and I wasted a lot of time on other versions of the Bible
I amhappy you found a version and bible you enjoy........Love in Christ Jeff C.
How does this bible compare to the cultural background study bible? I really like the look of this one; however, I conduct a bible study and I love to delve into the culture of the time (i.e. understanding the wedding traditions brings a lot of clarity on Jesus' analogy to being the bridegroom and the church as His bride (relating to His second coming), etc. Thanks!
Just the purpose of the notes are many times different.
Thanks for the quick reply. In general, which one do you like better?
Ha! interesting.... so Nelson/Harper Collins.. responded to my note regarding this bible... and said they do not have any info on it.. nor do they anticipate getting any in in the future.. but to my surprise.. the local Christian bookstore.. happened to have one here...I was astonished... Praise the Lord !... this Christian store.. has a lot of literature about the Bible.. but about 80% of their Bibles are in modern translations.. I went there only half heartedly hoping they would have the genuine leather large print full color nelson study bible I was looking for.... and lo and behold .. they had it...Praise Jesus !!...
That bible is on point with its key notes personality study and has a bit of chain linking scripture topics.
I need thomas nelson to do a KJV study bible in the premier collection.
i had to get the hardcover of this study bible and i have the hard cover of the original kjv thomas nelson study black and white print and i now have the zondervans large print kjv study bible that has the large print concordance
Amen!!
would the life application study bible would that be a oness pentecostal bible or a baptist bible ?
I used the Zondervan study bible for a few years.. I have the regular print and the Large Print. versions ... my former pastor used it up until he passed.. God Bless Him.. I believe the Zondervan study bible is a good study bible ...the study notes in Zondervan are very well laid out.. but my preference for the last 16 years or so has been the Nelson study bible.. I love Falwell's. insights.. but as I said.. Zondervan is very good as well..And our conservative former pastor used Zondervan's up until he passed....He never preached from anything else...I bought him a new one anonymously...after he became our pastor in 2004...I signed it "to pastor from your flock.". no one else knew that it was I who bought it for him.....unless he mentioned it privately to the deacons.....I bought it.... because.. I felt his old Zondervan was getting worn out and needed to be retired.. but you know........He kept using that old one he brought with him to our church when he first came there... the whole time 15 years or so he was at our church.. I don t know what ever became of the new one.. Now I realize how precious old worn out bibles can be to those who really love God...!..
Tks Pastor! A study Bible comparison would be great mainly with Holman around 😎
I think I did.
from what I have seen in my Holman Study bible... the notes do not appear to be quite as conservative... I am not saying they are secular.. but when reading thru my Holman study bible.. I don t get the feeling of genuine love of God in the commentary notes as I get when reading Falwell's....aka Nelson's....maybe it s just me....
Thank you so much for this. So helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
my bad Nelso was not the one who responded ab out not being able to gegt this bible it was Christian book distributers,.. a pretty big national Christian bookstore right?...below is gtheir response to my request....
Thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately, we don't carry that bible in large print you're looking for and we do not have any information on one being made in the future.
An internet search might help you to locate additional sources. We do however have a bible with all the features you are looking for but in regular font. You can view it by clicking here.

I don't see study bibles as suitable for taking to church...they're just too hulking huge. My main carry-along is the Royal Ruby, but I like to carry the Turquoise too.
Good, good Bibles there.
sarachikorita (Friendly Neighborhood Jesus Freak) go on eBay they have some personal size study bibles
consider taking a good study bible to church as a review of that study bible.. you can show it off to them as pastor Steve does in these videos.. and you may be able to direct them to what they have been searching for.. I take my study bible to church and show it to everyone.. and hold it up so everyone can see...and talk about it.. I show them the study notes..and when they compare it to their Scofields Ryries.. or life application bibles they are flabbergasted...... it gladdens my heart when I have had fellow Christians come up to me and tell me that they were overjoyed with the amount of writing and notes I had written down in mine as well.. your study bible may be a blessing to someone waiting to happen...
Have you compared the Nelson KJV and Nelson NKJV study Bibles? I’m thinking the Liberty U aspect of the KJV might lead to significant differences.
Not closely, no.
Even though they use the KJV their notes are based on the new version at times, so does the Holman. An example would be Galatians 5:12. They say Paul is referring to castrating themselves which is in some of the new versions, the KJV Reformation Heritage Bible has it that he means "excommunicated" which is what I believe Paul is correctly saying.
So is it a good bible or no
I think you are misreading the meaning of the note in this verse.. castrated does not mean a physical act of violence... "themselves castrated" .. is in a cut off sort of tone.. yes that is what happens during the physical act of castration.. but Not what is meant here... Here this Castration.. Means shunned...in other places Paul has expressed this as Maranatha.as in .1 cor 16:22
@@Alexander-vm2ox yes it is.. you will enjoy it....and grow from it...
Pastor, would this study Bible be one that a preacher/ pastor can use for his ministry?
Oh most definitely.
I was going through my Bibles to search out which ones had the words of Revelation 4:1 in Red... and found that my Barbour bible did... but my NIV bible is Not in red lettering so I could not tell regarding the NIV... all my ESV's are Not red lettering so I could Not tell there... but I found in the "Full" Life study bible.. and the "Fire" Study Bible... and the "Life in the Spirit" study bible.. all 3 of those had the words in red.... Yet the Spirit filled Life.. which is related to those 3 did NOT...
but my "Spirit filled Life".. though it has the same notes as those... it is a NKJV...I do not know if that would make a difference.. .. but it seems odd.. that the 4 bibles being so similar.. yet that one is different in that respect..
Interesting. Thank you for the information.
What are some of the best study bibles kjv or NKJV that are sound and not misleading that you would recommend is worth the buy?
Premier Study Bible, Thompson Chain, Open, Topical Reference
Open bible does not have near the notes compared to the Nelson study bible...KJV....if you want a study bible stick with looking for one with the words "study bible ".. in it s title.. most reference bibles I have found do not have a lot of study notes.. their Forte is cross referencing scripture.. which is good.. but why get one that just cross references scripture.. when a "study bible" does both ?.. it has notes and cross references.. both...
What is the difference between the Thomas Nelson King James Study Bible Full Color Edition and the Second Edition? Which would you suggest one getting?
Same notes best I could tell. I think I’ve got a comparison somewhere on the channel.
Hello I was wondering if you may have a recommendation for a Bible that does not have any study notes or references? Just a plain quality KJV or NKJV Bible. Thank you & I am really enjoying all your videos.
The Cambridge Large Print.
Thank you! @@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa
I can agree on the Cambridge pastor mentioned.. it is very well made of high quality.. and still partly affordable...a bible that will last lifetimes...
another interesting difference I noted... where as.. the prior Nelson bibles I have use the Nelson.. standard maps that went into various translations published by them... has been replaced by the Zondervan maps.. on this bible... the Zonderman maps from what I coan tell seem to be more detailed...which is good.. but as you pointed out.. these maps do NOT show Israel going thru any water during their Exodus flight.. but neither do the Nelson maps.. which I had noticed some time back and was wondering about.. its almost as if they don t want people to believe the Red Sea event.. just saying,.. it seems quirky.. the other thing I noticed is a b ig help which a lot of bibles don t do is... have an index to the maps.. to easily locate.. various..cities and areas.. I don t know why this is not included with every bible that contains maps...cities like Jerusalem or Bethlehem aren t hard to locate but what about cities like Scythopolis?...
An Amazon reviewer said that eventually there would be tearing with continued use. Do you feel the paper quality would be a barrier to buying this? I would not like it if I was spending a lot of money for an inferior product.
Hmm, I wouldn’t think so. Nelson’s paper quality is normally excellent. Bible paper is very thin however.
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa Bible paper thin? You mean this Bible? I'm confused.
I have been studying bible paper quality as of late ...since I have recently started purchasing higher end bibles...now these high end bibles start at over 200.00... when I got some and looked at the reviews.. I was disappointed to find that many of these expensive bibles have downgraded to a 28 gsm paper opaqueness.. they at one time were 36 gsm.. they did this to offset the weight.. a bible containing 36 gsm paper as opposed to 28 gsm paper can weigh between 1 to 2 lbs less.. these publishers maintain it s to make the bibles lighter to carry and more convenient.. but when they did this they compromised.. the writing capability in them.. a simple ink pen written on these pages can cause "ghosting".. or shadowing on the opposite side of the paper.. not to mention the easier to tear factor...thereby..making therir desire ability for everday study..Not appealing..... however ....I discovered that Nelson maintains a paper of between 36-38 gsm.. on most of their bibles.. and the wide margings about 42-48 gsm in opaqueness... the high end bible wide margins are a little more opaque as well but they do not come close to the Nelson s.. or even the Zondervans and others that are in general public use...I would still use a dry highlighters even on Nelson s.. unless you get a wide margin.. these take some getting used to and don't stand out as well as wet highlighters.. but you don't have to worry about paper curling from the wetness of the marker or bleeding thru.. and for heavens sake even on Nelson bibles.. don't lick your fingers to help turn a page unless you don't mind corners curling or gradually becoming dog eared.....
Please do compare the Thomas Nelson and the Holman Full color study Bibles. I have Nelson's and the KJV study bible without the updated graphs, pictures etc.
Already have.
have you sone a review on the fantastic LIBERTY STUDY BIBLE?...
Not under that name. I think it was later called the Annotated Study Bible.
a gift for my husband amen
Pastor Steve Waldron, Is this the same KJV study bible as they had before, but they just added full color? Or have they added a lot of editions to it? I have the KJV study bible by the Thomas Nelson. Does this KJV Study Bible full color have the same commentary as the Thomas Nelson NKJV but KJV? It looks like it has much more then my KJV STudy bible from about 10 years back. Would you recommend this Study Bible or the Holman NKJV Study Bible first. I've got the KJV text already, but as a study bible, would you recommend this one or the NKJV Holman?
Same as KJV Study if I remember correctly.
I can honestly tell you the full color version that came out in 2017 has some things added ..here is a list...that has been added after Revelation
TOPICAL INDEX TO CHRIST AND THE GOSPELS ...14 PAGES
TOPICAL INDEX TO PAUL AND HIS LETTERS.....12 PAGES
TOPICAL INDEX TO END TIMES PROPHECY...10 PAGES
WORD STUDY INCLUDED AS PART OF THE CONCORDANCE
THE MAP SECTION IS MORE DETAILED...The maps as stated on the copyright page are from the Zondervan study bible which has more detailing in them then the standard Nelson maps....
...even with all these features.. and in the Large Print.. which does not appear to me to be much larger than the prior regular print Nelson KJV study bible..... and with the extra maps added throughout the text this bible is only about 204 more pages in length... a total of about 2232 as opposed to the original of 2178.....
another big difference with the newer version is that the commentary notes at the bottom are in double column as opposed to the single column notes of the original.. in other words the layout of the notes read like the bible itself.. not all the way from all the way from the left to all the way to the right...
If you want to try the Holman you can but... imo ...the Nelson is way better... and they Do make a Holman study bible in the KJV.. or at least they once did... I have one....
comparing in just the book of Judges... in the original KJV nelson you have 5 maps.. in the full color version you get 6 maps at least 4 of which are full page maps and 5 geographic paintings depicting the areas involved as well ....the maps are updated maps with more detailing in them than the original ones that cme in this bible as well...
Thanks for your review of Nelson KJV Study Bible,itry
Which one is better Holman or Nelson full color study Bible how come Nelson study Bible don't have a Bible reading plan
I think I’ve done a comparison video. The reading plan is just not in every Bible.
I have seen so many different reading plans over the years from reading the bible stright thru.. to ones jumping around..from psalms to O.T. to N.T.. I think reading 4 to 5 vhapters a day,,.. will get a person thru their bible completely... just mark off your place day to day and you ll be fine.. I never enjoyed jumping around the way some do that is why I read from cover to cover...My problem is I don t like to read and not fully grasp what I am reading.. I ve talked to so many people over the years that could boast about how many times in their life they have read their bible thru.. yet they don t have any bible knowledge.they could not even recite all the books of the bible in order.. from start to finish.. I think a person that has read God s word several times should be able to do at least that much.. there is no good in reading a bible thru if one cannot remember much of it. or understand it.. like Phillip said to the Eunich.. "Understandest thou what thou readest..?".. the Eunich did not keep reading but stopped and beckoned Phillip to explain to him what he was reading...some just read to stay up with the bible plan.. I myself do not feel God s word can be read like that.. so I always stop and look up things such as locations people etc,,.. any time I am not sure what something is ,I investigate it further... I don t get my bible read in a year.. but I leave it feeling closer to God...
i have this bible coming in the mail,god bless
Greetings Pastor.
Is this Bible the same as the KJV 2nd Edition except for the color format? Also, is the text size the same?
The leather soft looks great. However, have you seen a leather edition? If so, how does it compare?
Is the color format and features enough to warrant the purchase instead of the Nelson 2nd Edition?
I have been using the 1st edition for years and decided to purchase another Nelson or a Thompson Chain Bible. The Thompson and the color KJV are the only ones to offer a leather option. Too bad the Nelson 2nd does not have the option. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes, no, no, yes
LOL....Thanks Pastor. Sorry to ask so many questions. I love your honest reviews. Have a great weekend.
This is now my go to study Bible kjv to take to church than my large print full color big KJV study and I study from the Nelson KJV full color study Bible
Amen!
great testimony...!..me too!..
This Bible is type set 10. Great Bible.
I believe this KJV study bible was first put out by Jerry Falwell through his Old Time Gospel Hour program back in the early 80s. It was called the "Liberty Annotated Study Bible". The scholarship behind this Bible was from the faculty of Liberty Bible College (now Liberty University). How Thomas Nelson acquired the rights to print it is unknown to me. I just hope Thomas Nelson has sewn bindings now on their Bibles. They have been producing some garbage publications as far a quality goes.
You are correct.. Nelson started producing these originally back in the late 90 s I believe.. though some Liberty bibles are still floating around on ebay...today... Nelson increased the concordance size.. but the main notes are the same.. thank God for that.. I love Falwells insights on many things..I have been reading oit of mine.. since around 2005.. I had it rebound.. and it is still my go to bibke.. but I had to go out and get this new version of it in full color... couldn t resist....
I believe if you get any with the leather or simulated leather covers they will be sown.. I cannot attest to the hardcover version...
do you feel this bible is good for study and the notes are all good?
Mostly good, but not all.
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa is it better than the Holman color study bible
every study bible may have some elements that may seem off.. or you may feel could have been expounded on more... for one.. this bible's commentary states that the sons of God in Job 1:6 are angelic beings,.. where as I have come to believe that these righteous individuals.. assembling to pray with God in their midst as Jesus taught when we gather to pray..God is in our midst.. where 2 or more are gathered...Matt 18:20 ... I may be wrong.. but then again a few other commentators such as John Gill and Matthew Henry and others have suggested my belief is possible.. let me say this .....and take it for what it's worth.... there is a saying that goes.."don't throw out the baby with the bathwater",.. apply it here,.. don't discount this whole bible on a few iffy notes...Most of the notes are excellent as pastor stated...
@@Kens1966 Yes I think so...
How do the notes and study notes differ in Nelson Full Color KJV and NKJV?
Not sure. I’ll try to do a comparison. Great question.
good question... the notes are totally different .. the NKJV Nelson.. is similar to the Holman in as the notes on the NKJV seem to be arranged and edited by less conservative individuals.. the notes are informative..you can tell the ones involved were scholarly... but I definitely get a different feeling toward God s word.. when going thru the Nelson KJV study bible as opposed to the NKJV study bible by Nelson.....some may like the NKJV notes.. but I will tell you they are NOT the same ..I did not care for them as well as this KJV study bible..
Spurgeon or Nelson kjv? Which is better and why?
Nelson. More info.
New Life Of Albany Ga. Thank you sir God bless you
I agree with pastor Steve on the choice between Spurgeon and Nelson.. who ever published the Spurgeon study bible .. I can t remember who.. really skimped on the notes.. considering how many writings of Spurgeon s there are.. and how maqny years he preached.. they could have made a bible with the amount of notes the Matthew Henry bible has... but did not.... many pages have hardly any notes at all ...if any.. I got the impression that the publisher just slapped Spurgeon's name on the bible to make a quick buck.. but did not truly care if this bible was a help to anyone in there christian walk...I was very disappointed in it.. you wont be with the Nelson study bible...
Thanks for your review..... I have two of the Thomas Nelson's Study Bible and it's just time for another one. I pray that I don't have to buy another one, but after seeing your review, I will get the full color version.
I did the same... and I have like 4 of the older versions from various years already.. but could not resist this color version...
One of the differences and a very important one at that is in Genesis 1:2 where it says "the Spirit of God".
In this Bible the word "Spirit" has a capital 's' meaning God Himself, whereas the non-full color 2nd edition has a small 's' designating something like an angel. My advice is before you purchase a Bible check to see if certain words are spelled differently as the spelling can give a totally different meaning or perspective then what was originally intended and can result in a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of the Scripture passage. There are plenty of internet sites that are devoted to this subject. 📖🙏
I am not sure which bible you are reading from....... the 2nd edition?.. I have bibles dating from this bible's inception with the Liberty Annotated bible 1988 to the Nelson study bibles I purchased in 2004 and 2005.. and one that was rebound printed in 2008...I just bought off ebay .... and now this one.. And All of these have the word Spirit... with a capital letter "S"....
please specify if this is from Nelson...Publishing.?.. I would be curious.. you may have a one of a kind misprinted bible.. someone may buy that one from you and give you a lot.of money.. like a misprinted coins are valuable also...... if it Does have the "s" as a small letter
the study bible I am referring to has these for its contributing editors..

from what I know the Criswell Study bible is Not the pre bib le to the Falwell bible.... the Falwell bible I believe started out as either the Virginia study bible .. so named from Virginia University.... then either that became the Liberty Stidy Bible or vice versa.. with the end result being the Thomas Nelson study bi ble edited by Jerry ZFalwell.. the Criswell and Liberty or Falwell bible.. are NOT the same nor ever have been.. the notes and maps are totally different.. but I agree that the Criswell bible DID evolve into the Believers study bible....
I’ve done a review of the Criswell.
$52 on Amazon
I've got both editions of this study bible. It's ok. I disagree with some of the commentary such as Job 40: 15-17 talking ab how Behemoth moves his tail like a cedar & the commentary wants you to believe the bible is talking ab a hippopotamus..
Makes me wonder if they've ever actually seen a hippo's tail.
Other than that, it stays away from giving commentary on real controversial verses. It affirms 'grace thru faith' when it's spoken of, but in other commentary it'll try correcting the KJV. Every study bible I've read tries this though.
Holman study bible has a bit better quality commentary, but Thomas Nelson does give more info ab things such as the covenants in the OT, the concept of the Trinity, feast days, ect..
It's good to have a few different study bibles. Never go with strictly one. Have two or three. Some give insight on verses or topics others ignore entirely. I'd recommend this study bible. Just know where God's word ends & man's opinion begins!
Great review, Pastor! Love your review vids. I've been a King James Bible reader for some time now. Are there any other translations you recommend? It's not that I'm trying to get away from the KJV, it'll always be my personal authority when it comes to what scripture says. I have been looking for a translation that is comparable, though. Does one exist?
Not really. Maybe the Young’s or the KJV 2
the KJVER is out now.. you may try that translation.. its basically the KJV easy reader.. so nothing is changed just the thee s and thou s etc.. re worded.... the 1901 ASV isn t too bad.. but there are places I think that one could have done better... and many who are trying to read something comparable have been reading the NASB. and comparing it.. the MEV is very similar to the KJV.. and others like the ESV.. but remember there is only one bible like the KJV completely and its the... KJV.......KJV II is pretty close.. I think it was an experiment the translators tried out before the NKJV...
also in regards to the notes regarding Job 40:15,... if you check the cross reference in the middle of the page it states.." a large animal, exact identity unknown".... so I guess you have a choice which note you will lean to... I myself believe these creatures,,.. were the Dinosaurs of the prehistoric age... as well as carbon dating is wrong telling us.. that Dinos existed millions of years ago...which they did not...the fossils that they find are probably only a few thousand years old.. and one day accurate science will tell us so...
@@jeffcarlson3269 In my study bible, the cross reference system tells me nothing. It gives no additional details. All I know is that an elephant or hippopotamus' tail looks nothing like a cedar tree & that's where the words of God & men split.
@@TragedysHalo are you using the Nelson Study Bible?... I found the reference on Job 40:15 in the middle of the page on both my 2017 version and in my 2005 version..... not sure why yours would not have the statement regarding" a large animal exact identity unknown " in it... verse 17 it states.. stones...from the text means thighs... and these are tightly knit together.. It does not mention anything in regards to the significance of a cedar however...I guess that is where other commentaries.. such as Langes Pulpit or Barclays etc.. would come in handy... I agree with you on the notes in the commentary below... I think the editors are off base saying this is a hippo and crocadile respectively.. but I guess all this shows that even scholars can be wrong now and then.. when I used to teach the adult class in Sunday School years ago any comments I pulled from study bibles and used I would premise with the words..."some scholars believe".. this way everyone understood that what I was saying.. was not only my own God given revelation,.. but they would also understand there is a certain margin of error.. in anyones logic... not any particular scholar has All the answers.. but I think for the most part the Nelson study bible is a good one.. I don t believe in his comments regarding Job 1:6 either.. he states these are angelic beings .. yet some scholars take these sons of God.. to be righteous men gathered in prayer...it could even be Job was one of these sons of God mentioned.. but the sons of God were not privy to God s conversation with Satan...God is in the midst of those gathered in prayer..even today.. but we can t physically hear him... it could be the devil and God were talking about Job s future trials.. and Job was there but did not hear them...
I Wish they have this on (Amp) Bible 😕
They do
This is the only Bible I have ever seen that quotes a Scripture and then proceeds to argue with what it plainly says. If you don't believe that, look at what the notes are on Hebrews 7:1-3. Brother Steve, please look at that closely because I don't believe a godly man like you are would want to endorse a Bible with notes that argue with the very text of the Scripture.
I am not sure what you are impying.. upon reading these notes it seems to me that Falwell is giving an unbiased outlook on the charachter of Melchizedek,,.. presenting the pros and cons as to the possibilities of what he represents...If you ll notice in the actual bible text Melchizedek is capitalized.. this would make me think that this study bible Does believe He may be a Theophany or Christophony...when He describes in his notes this Melchizedek..was a king of a literal city in Canaan.. Falwell was not stating He was human... could this king be like Christ 100% man and 100% God..?..and verse 3 does state "made like unto the Son of God".. I will say that perhaps the word "son"..in tyhe bottom notes.. may have been a typographical mistake...I do not think Falwell wa trying to subtley hint that Melchizedek was Not divinity in the form of man.... I would not read into what the editors are trying to say.. but they are not actually saying...otherwise every study bible you read you will find fault with...

Salvation is based ONLY upon one's Repentance toward GOD, and Faith toward Our Lord Jesus Christ - not on what idiotic or proper doctrine one might hold later. Once one is saved, they are always saved, for that is the Word of GOD, according to His Grace - as sinful as we are, if we could ever commit a sin that could lose our Salvation, we would do it, but that would frustrate the Grace of GOD - GOD knows how dumb we are, and saves us in spite of ourselves, for it is based upon Who His Son is, and what He did ONCE on the Cross, then Rose Again. The Pretribulation belief is the proper, Biblical one, in that the next thing on the Agenda is Christ coming in the air for the Saints, then returning with them to Heaven. On Earth then will be the seven year Tribulation, then Jesus will come back and stand upon the Mount of Olives, as prophesied in ZECHARIAH, then vanquish Israel's enemies, and ALL ISRAEL as a Nation will be saved, having realised that Jesus is their Messiah, and Christ will rule and reign for a thousand years from Jerusalem, and all nations are to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, else suffer drought. After the thousand years is one last rebellion, which Jesus will destroy, then the New Heavens and the New Earth. Hallelujah !
So blasphemy and murder are ok for the Christian? Ok then…
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa Did I say that ? I certainly did not. I made it clear that we are saved by Grace through Faith, based on our Repentance toward GOD and Faith only in Jesus Christ, and I never said that any sin we commit was OK for anyone - sin is an affront to GOD, and is never Okay, but GOD knows we are all sinners, which is why He sent His Son to bleed and die on the Cross for us in the first place. If sin was alright, why do that ? So sure, people sin in many ways, and even those who are born again do so - it is almost unavoidable, because we are sinful beings. This does not mean we take the Grace of GOD lightly, and do what we want after we are saved. If we have repented, this means we have had a change of heart and mind towards those things, and GOD convicts us against that. Anyone who then willfully sins is then disobeying GOD, and must repent of that also, and as they Bible says, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we sin, we lose fellowships with GOD, but not the Relationship - we are still His Children by Faith in Jesus Christ. This is why the Apostle Paul went all out to show Christians that although we are called to Liberty in Christ, in that we are not bound by stifling regulations, this does not give us any licence to sin, and the idea of being a Christian is that one has a new life in Christ - we are a new Creature, and thus, although we are secure in Christ, and cannot lose that Salvation, there is no excuse nor justification for taking it lightly, for there are consequencces for all that we do or do not do - and I NEVER suggested otherwise - maybe it was simply that I did not explain all of this in the first comment I made. Thus, man is sinful, born with a sinful nature inherited from Adam and Eve, and through the Ages GOD showed that man could not please GOD by his own efforts - the Law could not save, and was never meant to - it acts now as our Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, to show us that we cannot fulfill it all - those who try doom themselves to Hell because they are trying to trust in their own efforts. So, Salvation has to be of GOD, and He did it all in Christ - our only minor part is to choose - to exercise our Free Will that GOD gave us, to repent, which only means to think again, and to believe, for we walk by Faith, not by Sight, and once we do so, GOD looks at the heart, and seals us with that Holy Spirit of Promise. Thus we begin in the Spirit, and are NOT made perfect by the flesh. If we could lose that Salvation that it took the Son of GOD to pay for by His Blood Atonement Death, Burial and Resurrection, then there remaineth no more Sacrifice for sins, and how could we maintain a Salvation by our own Good Works that we could never earn in the first place ? Thus the Grace of GOD, else Grace is no more Grace. It has to be, it makes sense. So yes, we are saved, and saved for good when we Trust in Christ, and this is why the Apostle Peter said , But Grow in Grace, and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour - we cannot do it all at once, it has to be One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus, but if we are genuine, it is GOD Who changes us, as we submit to him - rather than use that Liberty as occasion to the flesh. It is He Who has drawn us, provided for our Salvation, and maintains it Himself, and there are many Christians out there doing just that - trusting only in GOD to obtain and maintain us as His Children.
@@christopherlilly5906 1 John 3:15. I’ve done several videos and written a couple of books on this subject. I’m certainly not trying to misrepresent you. God bless!
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa Okay, I appreciate that, although this is how it sounded at first. Perhaps You simply wanted me to explain what I meant, all about Eternal Security, which is Biblical. Ironically, this was not the original reason I had commented in the first place, which was actually to do with the pre Tribulation rapture idea. But certainly, it was commented that some had said if someone was not doing some thing or other they were not saved, but as I stated, the basis for Salvation in this age is Repentance toward GOD, and Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus, if there is NO Repentance, so that a person hears about Christ, then says, Well, I can believe in Him, but then go on sinning all I like, He will NOT be saved, for GOD looks at the heart - remember, the devils also believe and tremble. So, knowing GOD exists is not enough, even though it is Faith that ultimately saves us. But it is based upon genuine, Spirit wrought Repentance, which is NOT a turning away from sin, as some teach, but a change of mind and of heart, which should lead to a turning from sin. One hears the Gospel, is convicted by the Holy Ghost - the only time He deals with the Unsaved, else no one could ever be born again, and then with that repentant heart, which GOD sees, places their Trust ONLY in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ, not their own person and work, and they are saved. Hallelujah! Christ baptises them with the Holy Ghost, Who Himself baptises them into Christ - all automatic, and one has the Spirit, for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His - having begun in the Spirit, neither are we made perfect by the Flesh. Thus, once one is saved, they can walk in the Spirit, and be filled again and again with the Spirit, Who enables them to follow GOD and surrender to Him. This is the clear teaching of Scripture. So yes, we are saved, for He has given us the Earnest of the Spirit, but we do not grieve the Spirit, Whereby we are sealed until the Day of Redemption. This is why they sung Amazing Grace, for the old fellahs knew what the Bible said - this is why we are to be so grateful to GOD Almighty for His Unspeakable Gift. He does not give a Gift, then take it away - none can pluck us out of the Father's Hand, not even ourselves.
