I have a copy of the Life Application Bible. Never use it.
I have a copy of the Reformation Study Bible. Never use it.
I will be getting a copy, if not two, of the ESV Study Bible. I intend to use it.
From what I can see, this may actually be a very helpful study Bible.
One reason I’m hopeful is because of the list of scholars who worked on the notes. Dr. Hafemann, NIVAC: 2 Corinthians, worked on the notes for 2 Corinthians. It’s nice to see that they’ve tried to get the best scholars for each particular book work on that book. I might note, I’m a bit surprised they didn’t get Greg Beale, NIGTC: Revelation, to do the notes for Revelation.
Any way, I’m hopeful on this one.

You just like it because it has pretty color pictures within each book. Then you don’t have to flip to the back to get to them.
