The Scofield Study Bible III: King James Version

This bible is lovely and big. The cover looks and feels great, plus it keeps the pages flat. There is gold trimming on the edges of the pages and a long yellow ribbon attached to the bible to use as a bookmark. My primary concerns when buying this bible blindly were the quality of the references, how easy the bible would be to understand in the KJV (which can be a challenge normally, when you consider non-study bibles) and the size (I didn't want a Bible that was pocket sized with tiny font and this sure isn't!). The references are very relevant and they help you to understand the circular nature of the Bible. It refers back to itself (both in locations before and after where you are reading), so understanding is built up quickly if you read the references. The version itself is pretty easy to follow because unfamiliar/old words are explained in the sidelines. Also when something happens, e.g. when a prophecy is fulfilled, there are references to take you back to the prophecy. So luckily, you don't have to depend on your memory with this Bible. I am thrilled with this Bible. I don't see myself needing another after this purchase. The words of the Son are in red, and each book has an introduction with theme headings and the main events to be discussed. It helps to know what you are going to read before you delve into a new book. Complete with maps, research, historical and scientific evidence to back up scripture, as well as what critics say about some passages, I find myself not depending on much else to aid my understanding. I never have to Google things and dig for research because it is all here. I cannot fault this Bible. I don't see what the more expensive versions could have that this doesn't.

God's Word is God's Word. Reading it should NEVER be done the same way bas reading other books, newspapers or anything else. But by first asking Him to "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." Psalm 119v18. Then it becomes alive. As He does The Bible is seen for what it is; HIS WORD. Quite simply brilliant and without Him opening it to us, nothing other than similar to an old Shakespeare book. Lots of writing but not alive.

Anyone starting to read the Bible will find these notes by Schofield of very great value and interest.

Well made , this is my second copy of this bible my first was NAS my second NKJV this bible will teach you good solid Christian teachings . Unlike some bibles out there this is a Great Study Bible . Buy it and love it !!

This is a new design for the Scofield study Bible and I believe it to be an improvement. Good quality binding in Genuine Leather and what I Believe to be the Best translation in the English language. Good value for money well worth the investment.

Overall meet my expectations, the study notes, map references and some of the illistrations were a great help when covering the text. Great study tool, shame they don't do a pocket sized version.

The Bible as expected is well laid out and easy to read and easy to follow themes etc. The only disappointment was the large print label I expected something just a tad larger and I was unable to find an open page on Amazon to compare it.

Brought this as a gift for someone, look at other bible and choose this. I think it is excellcent so far and you can't go wrong with, good explanations, like that it has a zip, keep it protected. Might get one for myself.
