 Good Stuff
This is for someone who really wants to dive into the Bible the whole gazillion yards! My pastor saw my hunger for the Word and recommended me this bible, which he also uses for himself! Enjoy!
Best overall study bible!
As you can see, I'm a fan of the NIV for it's readability and it is used in this (and most other) great study bibles. What makes this one special is its "reformed" viewpoint. A little "deep" for the new Christian, but it gets my "best overall" rating."
 Spirit of the Reformation Bible
Study notes are very good. NIV not my favorite translation. Type is rather small. Narrow spaces to write in. For someone new to Reformed theology this is proving to be a great tool. Despite the few short comings I would heartily recommend it.
Simply the best
There is no reason to add to the o so many good reviews. My own two cents is that this is THE BEST study bible on the market today and will likely be for a long time.
Amazing Study Bible
Here is a study Bible that ALL Christians should get. It is filled with lots of spiritually instructive information, academic commentaries, and theological outlines that will give more than enough for one to start building a sermon on and starting up one's group bible study. I will even dare to say that it is better than the famed NIV Study Bible because of the amount of study notes, comments, and charts available.
Though the perspective given in the notes and commentaries is decidedly Reformed/Calvinist, it is still useful for evangelicals of all stripes - Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptists, Free Church Evangelicals, etc. - for personal Bible study. This is due to the highly orthodox and evangelical nature of the study notes and comments. Hence, reading the notes and comments will still be helpful for readers who are not Reformed. Except for some comments regarding passages that teach election and perseverance, a non-Reformed Christian will still be comfortable and secure enough to trust in the notes to guide their reading of Scripture.
What I really liked about this Bible is that at the end (after the concordance) there contains a section of all of the Reformed creeds and confessions of history (pp. 2143-2218). This is a truly remarkable feature of this study Bible. In fact, these confessions will help Reformed Christians better understand their own theological history and allow non-Reformed Christians to have some exposure to the teachings of the Reformed tradition.
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this Bible to all Christians. Trust me, you won't regret purchasing this study Bible. Too many study Bibles out there are either too simplistic or theologically sub-standard. This study Bible, however, combines good academic scholarship with good practical applications for the laity. I would also get the leather bound edition since it is so much nicer to hold and look at.
