This version is a modern re-work of the Geneva Study Bible. As such it contains chain referencing, footnotes and explanations in the footer. Additionally, where a particular passage or chapter contains material that is heavily cited as the proof text for a given doctrine, there will often be doctrinal or theological notes available there to discuss the idea in question.

I really like this Study Bible. The ESV is a close translation of the Geneva Bible, in more modern English. ( )

Excellent study notes coupled with the best modern English translation around make this, far and away, the finest evangelical study Bible available on the market. Unfortunately, does not contain color maps, or the Reformed confessions that are included in the NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible, but those omissions are easily forgiven. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0875526438, Hardcover)

During the Reformation, a renewed interest in Scripture brought great light to the church and the world. In The Reformation Study Bible, general editor R. C. Sproul aims to present the light of the Reformation anew by combining an accessible translation with study notes that stand firmly in the theological tradition of the Reformation.

No other study Bible gives the reader more assistance in understanding the great doctrines and themes of the Christian faith as found in the Scriptures. Extensive notes have been researched and written by a team of more than fifty scholars, including J. I. Packer, James Boice, and Wayne Grudem.

All Christians that want to dig deeper in their study of Scripture will appreciate the bible’s many features, including section introductions, book introductions and outlines, comments on the biblical text, theological notes, charts, in-text maps, and cross-references.

The first study bible based on the English Standard Version, The Reformation Study Bible is the perfect choice for men and women that want to study God’s word in a language they can understand.
