Dake’s, I love his footnotes in defense of passages such as Mark16:9-20; John 7:53-8:11; and I John 5:7.

Currently, I have several favorite study bibles.

KJV
Henry Morris Study Bible -- Literal.
Companion Bible (1922, 1999, Kregel)) -- Notes and appendixes.
Foundation Study Bible -- Simple, to the point.

NKJV
NKJV Study Bible -- Conservative, straight forward.
Wiersbe Study Bible -- Conservative, warm and friendly.

NIV
Life Application Study Bible -- Apply the text to my life.
Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible -- Relationship of Bible texts to other cultures.

RSV
New Oxford Annotated Study Bible, 2nd edition, 1977 -- Closest to what I used is college 50 years ago.

 

[Just_Ahead]

As I picked and examined every study bible in my bookcase, I found the above an interesting exercise. I kept asking myself: Why did I add each study bible to my bookcase. But the above are the eight study bibles I find myself using the most.

Now what to do with the other study bibles?

 

[Yeshua1]

Dake’s, I love his footnotes in defense of passages such as Mark16:9-20; John 7:53-8:11; and I John 5:7.

be very careful on that Bible, as that is the very Bible that many of the heretic WoF teachers use, as they got their theology from his notes!
