The value of Study Bibles
My wife wanted to get a new study Bible as she said after growing, she realised her current one was full of charismatic nonsense.
So she asked me for some reccomendations- we both agreed about choosing between the ESV Study Bible and the CSB Spurgeon Study Bible.
Soon, she told me she wanted the ESV Study Bible (she is a huge fan of the contributor Conrad Mbewe, and she loves the fact he is from her Country too).
You see, Study Bibles should be highly important to us as Christians, so we can look at the commentary and context, so we can get a deeper understanding of what we are reading and a great refresher.
My reccomended Study Bibles:
. Reformation Study Bible- my main Bible! This is a Bible that makes you think "I never thought of it that way."
. The Macarthur Study Bible- I use the app when away from home, I do the main reading from my pocket travel bible and then read the commentary on the app after my reading ( DO NOT do your main reading of the Bible from an app unless ABSOLUTELY necessary). Anyways this study bible is great but highly systematic, which not everyone may enjoy.
. CSB Spurgeon Study Bible
. ESV Study Bible
Still not convinced reading a study Bible is important? I'll let Steven Lawson do the talking:
