Dr. Macarthur is gentle yet absolutely committed to the unbiased and correct translation and transmission and explanation of the Word of God. Short of a full commentary, this Bible with its notes is a vast and nearly complete volume to answer and expound on most Bible passages and makes the difficult ones very clear. Defines much of the original texts and keeps the user's eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is not too difficult for a beginner or too easy for the seasoned Bible student. I will never "grow out of" this Bible. Print is easy on the eyes and, since it is a hardback, might need a protective carrier or cover. Pages are thin but I would much rather have thin pages than skimpy notes.

Pro: This is the 3rd one that I have bought. I was saved on May 23, 2004. I bought every kind of Bible I could get my hands on to try to understand what had and was happening to me. Then I found my first copy. The best thing about this version of the Bible is that (1) this is a very strong Reformed Bible, and is a Revised King James Version (RKJV) without any of the baggage that some of the newer versions have added to the faith once and forever delivered. (2) While I really enjoy the KJV for its poetry, the RKJV is easier to understand. For me, it is important to understand the context in which the scripture is written, and this study Bible does the best job of any I have found that is portable. MacArthur's commentaries are well written and easy to read. I highly recommend this study Bible for any Christian, new found or otherwise. This is my third, I keep one at home, one at work, and the other was given to a newfound Christian to help her on her way. If I find another newfound Christian, I will gladly give them my new copy and buy another. The only negative is that it is heavy. But then, I do not know what I would cut out to make it lighter. That being the only major aspect, I would keep it just as it is.Read full review
Great study Bible, easy to understand. Each verse is well explained on bottom of pages. New King James version is easy to read for young people in 2017. Written by John Macarthur, who is a great Bible teacher and scholar of theology and also he explains historical context. I highly recommend this Bible for any believer teen years and up.

Probably the best of the modern translations (NKJV) coupled with Pastor MacArthur's wonderful notes, this is one of the very best study Bibles on the market today, it would be useful to the beginning Bible student as well as the seasoned reader, in my parusel of the religious sites i find many people who have good things to say about this Bible. I sometimes quote Pastor MacArthurs notes when i teach the word. At the next opportunity i will purchase one of these Bibles leather bound for my own use and enjoyment.
Love this bible! Love the study notes. I always opted for paperback cover but I'm loving the hard back cover
