The NKJV Study Bible, 2nd Edition

This is an amazing bible. There are tons of maps, notes/commentaries on almost every single scripture, timelines, charts, graphs, historical set pieces, and information on the technology of that age. There is an introduction to every book telling about the author, period, an outline of the book, and how that book pertains to Christ. There are also star shapes in the books indicating biblical prophecy and, specifically, whether the prophecy is being foretold or fulfilled. This bible also contains tons (15,000 to be exact) of cross referenced scripture and many different translations of different words giving you deeper meaning of the scripture. Italisized words let you know that those specific words were added in the translation from Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek to English. Most of the words are "the", "was", "to", "there", etc. Nothing major, but a nice feature. Theres lots of good stuff here. The bible is top quality from cover to cover and inside out. The type face is a nice black without being too much contrast with the white page. The color is a pleasure to look at and is a comfortable size with a light blue background where the notes and cross references are making the page very soft on the eyes. The layout is very easy to follow and is very user friendly. The scripture and notes are in two different type faces and points making them both flow very well together and seperately. Theres also a very nice history of the KJV and NKJV of the bible in the introduction as well as other histories and facts on different things in the introduction. The outside of the bible is your typical bonded leather. However, I think this is a better quality than most, but thats just me. The bronze version isnt as bronze as the picture suggests. Its actually more dulled/ faded looking than the picture. Nonetheless, I still love the look of the bronze and how it feels in my hands. The outside of the pages are lined with a shiny gold tint making it look very nice with the bronze cover (I believe all the bonded leather versions are gold outlined, white outlined for the hard covers, and silver for the fake leather/ designer style versions). There are no markings on the front cover or rear cover indicating its a bible, even though its obvious thats what it is, but the front and rear covers are just plain bonded leather. The spine of the bible has "NKJV Holy Bible" written in gold inlay lettering and I beleive it also has "Nelson" (the publisher) written on the spine near the bottom as well, not positive on this though. The bible weighs between 4-5 pounds and is a bigger sized bible thats not too thick. Overall, this is a great product with TONS of great study notes, maps, charts, commentaries, information on each book and the period it takes place in. People who have a hard time reading regular sized bible font (8pt.) may have difficulty reading this bible. However, there is a large print version. My only gripe with this bible is page quality. To cut down on thickness and weight the publisher made the pages very thin. You can see whatevers on the next page before actually turning the page. Although its not nearly as bad as those cheap small bibles churchs give out for free, its still a small nuisance. The pages also make me feel like I may accidently rip them or mangle them when flipping back and fourth between NT and OT cross referenced scripture, but this has yet to happen and is just my personal opinion. All in all I HIGHLY recommend this bible to anyone looking for extended knowlege and/or a better understanding on God's holy Word. I would give this 4.5/ 5 stars due to the page thinness. However, the minor drawback of this near perfect bible should not sway your mind in the least if you still undecided. In my personal opinion I think this is the best study bible available.

I have been agonizing over which version of the Bible to get for my own personal studies for almost a year. I found this one on Amazon and put it in my cart. For a week lol. I prayed and prayed and the price dropped a few times. So I felt like this was the one I was supposed to buy among other choices I had also put in my cart. We recieved it in the shortest time allotted and in excellent condition. And the Bible was in much better condition than stated! I am so happy with this easy to read and understand version. It is like someone has opened up a whole new world to me. I understand it much better than the "thee and thou" stuff in the KJV. I struggled with that version for a long time. Now, I am able to read, study, understand the Word of God in a whole new way and I thank the people at Nelson for that! The cover is a brushed soft imitation leather? Or real leather? It feels like soft doe skin to me. It's heavy so it wont wear out with daily use and the pattern on the front makes it fun. :o} I wont get into the arguement over which version is better than another. I own quite a few of them and Strongs and a Naves Topical Bible, etc...I just needed a Bible that would help me study better. And this one tells you some of the contriversial words via translation problems, etc...and all of their meanings so that you can decide for yourself which meaning fits the passage best as the Spirit leads. There are many "mini-studies" also in the notes part of the Bible on the bottom of different pages allowing you to further dig into the subject at hand. I am having a wonderful time in study now with all this help at my fingertips! The only drawback some may find with the Bible is that the words of Christ are NOT in red. To me, it's not a big deal because I read the passage as a whole, not just for a few spoken words by the Lord. If you read the passage, it is easy to find His words in it. So for me, it isn't a drawback at all. I am completely satisfied with the Bible and the service at pioneerbooks and will buy from them again without hesitation. Keep up the good work! You are much appreciated!

This is a wonderful study Bible with decent size print and lots of good notes. Just love the introduction to each book describing the author, the times, and even an outline. Throughout this study Bible are some interesting cultural notes and there's a huge concordance and a subject index as well. There are beautiful maps and I haven't even looked at the enclosed CD yet. I do own other bibles and this one is a great all in one study tool. And the New King James is very, very readable without the "thees" and the "thous". Thanks Thomas Nelson for such a complete and helpful version! It's a bargain at any price, really!

The best study Bible on Amazon! I got it for less than 2k (INR) and it was worth every rupee. The paper is a little thin so don't use highlighters with this Bible. Its a paperback so its meant for home use. Don't assume that this Bible is good for traveling or taking to church. It's paperback so it should be handled with great care. I like the fact that its not just black ink inside. Every Protestant Christian who really wants to study the Bible should buy this. I wanted the leather version but its a little too pricey for me at the moment. In the future I will buy it or I will get this paperback one leather bound. Earl D Radmacher is my mentor's mentor so I have great respect for him. That being said, I don't believe in predestination.

This is an amazing bible!! I underestimated what it would be like until it arrived. The leather feels great and durable and the pages feel very high quality. The notes and resources included in the bible are extremely helpful and with easy to understand language. I really needed a study bible to help me go deeper into the word of God. This is a wonderful bible and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good study bible.
