 Presents a decidedly liberal theological perspective August 15, 2008
21 out of 35 found this review helpful
The Bible commentaries are written from a liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates to the books. The notes put forth theories that are based upon opinion and conjecture rather than solid textual evidence. More a work of anti-Christian and anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.

I had recently been looking for a Study Bible that would be challenging and faith affirming to my walk. I made the mistake of purchasing the Apolgetics Study Bible and found myself questioning how Christianity could possibly survive when fodder like that is what we are presenting to a non-Christian world. When I was directed towards this study bible I found that finally there are biblical scholars who deeply care about what a text actually means, not so much about conforming the text to pre-conceived ideas. So far my reading has been enjoyable and enlightening and I'm looking forward to continuing my study. I highly recommend this study bible.
 An excellent resource! August 4, 2008
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
I find this Bible to be an excellent resource although like everything in life it has a few minor flaws. As to the Bible text, it is complete in content and easy to read, clear and understandable. As to the commentary it is unbiased from any denominational point of view, excellent in informational content and historical fact although a bit repetitive with repeated readings. All in all an excellent resource!

Although the notes are thorough, the text is separated from the commentary in a way that makes reading scripture easy and functional. The many special inserts are informative and probative.
