a good "go to" bible, more than just a read threw like the NIV, but with actual and correct words that can correspond right back to the greek and hebrew. which helped (me at least) get an Ideal of what was originally written (unlike the JKV which i grew up with and now can not stand) ( )

beautiful bible, March 17, 2007 By William Ekhardt (Gamaliel, KY)

If you don't already know the Amplified Bible expands on regular English translations, by giving the full meaning of the Hebrew and Greek words from the original text. It's a great study tool, and helps the reader to better understand the exact meaning of the text. ( )

Very useful for study but I would CAUTION people to read the explanation of what the different markings mean!! Just as the KJV lets you know when the translators inserted words, the Lockman translators also notify you when they have inserted words and phrases. They felt these insertions were implied by the original text. That's ok with me since, as I read them, I know it is NOT original Bible text.

One reason I mention this is that when I see the Amplified Bible quoted in publications, they do not reproduce these markings (italics, brackets, parentheses, etc.). This obscures when the translators have inserted their interpretations. ( )

Presents the Amplified Bible which uses a system of synonyms, punctuation, typographical features, and clarifying words or phrases to reveal shades of meaning of the key words in the original Hebrew and Greek texts of the scriptures, and includes footnotes, book introductions, a concordance, bibliography, and glossary.
