Brown Leathersoft

This is a Thomas Nelson study bible. It is indexed, and has the words of Christ in red. The print is large and very readable. This bible is loaded with extra features that are helpful to studying God's word. It has Doctrinal footnotes, personality profiles and lots of pictures of archaeological sites. Reading the bible and understanding the content is not easy. Each page has plenty of charts and diagrams to enrich your bible reading experience. It has over 57 full color maps, hundreds of full color photos, center column references and notes to help with difficult words and frases. The index in the back of the bible has a full dictionary of hard the understand words and there is plenty more. Trying to navigate the Bible can be difficult. With all the notes and explanations you will have no trouble understanding the word of God. This is a great Bible for people new the word as well as the more experienced readers.

"This Bible is beautiful. The cover is so stunning that I display it on a bench at the foot of my bed. The pages are made of high-quality paper. While all Bibles have thin pages, some have much thinner pages with significant bleed-through. This Bible's heavier-weight pages minimize this effect. The book opens and lays flat, and the sewn binding seems very durable. I haven't highlighted anything in this book, and I don't intend to. It's simply too beautiful, and I have other Bibles for note-taking. However, if I find I want to make a note, I will use adhesive tabs or clear vellum paper notes to avoid marring the pages. The doctrinal footnotes are amazing and are probably one of my favorite features. I often reference them as a substitute commentary, even when reading or studying other Bible versions. I also enjoy the Personality Profiles, which are a delight to read, informative, and helpful. The maps are beautiful and vivid. Many appear on heavy, high-gloss pages at the back of the book, but even the illustrations and photos (like those in the "Archeological Sites" notes) on the regular pages are still full-color and high-quality. The larger text is easy to read, and the Bible lays flat when opened, making it perfect for desk study. It is a large and not lightweight Bible, but it wasn't meant to be a travel Bible. It includes a concordance, study notes, book introductions, and book outlines, which are great for scanning and locating specific information within a book's context. Additionally, there are two ribbons, which are a thoughtful feature for those who do a lot of Bible study and are constantly flipping back and forth between pages. I often find myself wishing for a second ribbon in books that only have one. This leads me to another great feature: the single column in the center of the two-column layout, which contains scripture references. This book honestly has so much to offer. And to think, I had tried to cancel my order in a moment of buyer's remorse, and believing I have too many Bibles already. Thankfully, I tarried too long, and my cancellation was denied. I am delighted it turned out that way because I ended up with one of the most beautiful and cherished Bibles in my vast collection. This would make a great gift, or a stunning coffee table book. It is a Bible to be enjoyed! It is beautiful, helpful, well-organized, and insightful. I can hardly recommend it enough.

This Nelson KJV Study Bible is without a doubt the most gorgeous Bible, inside and out, that I have ever encountered! The cover is absolutely beautiful in a two tone dark/light mahogany "leather soft" material (which I'll take over a mediocre leather bound) with a stunning gold embossed title on the front. Same on the side. Stitching is very high quality around the front and back at all edges. The binding is sewn, not glued. On the inside, the full color maps, tables, illustrations and photos are amazing. The print (this is large text version) is very highly readable for both Biblical text and notes alike - this iteration of comfort print is very attractive and easy on older eyes. Inclusion of thumb-indexing and red lettering - both of which are not a true deal breaker for me either way - are both very nice. I started off with the Quest Study Bible (NIV) some years ago, which I still think is great for new/younger Christians, but not necessarily for in-depth study. I have recently moved to the ESV Study Bible, which I think is outstanding in terms of content. The ESV articles and study notes are top notch in my opinion (specific theological opinions aside). However, I got caught up into the trap of ordering several more expensive, "upgraded" versions of this volume, only to end up returning several copies (Amazon and also Christianbook.com) due to defects and Crossway's apparent poor quality control. I ended up getting a good copy of the ESV SB with no defects (the inexpensive "TruTone Portfolio Edition") so I stuck with that. It's a great Bible and I love reading and studying it. However, after much research into the many different English translations, I have decided to explore the classic KJV with this one. This KJV SB seems to have good study notes/aids/articles, but I'll need to get into it further before I can legitimately comment on that vs the ESV. For what it's worth, I'll amend my review if I come across any glaring shortcomings or discrepancies. Again, this Nelson KJV Study Bible is absolutely stunning in it's beauty, quality and readability. I can't believe that they are offering this Bible for this price! Even if you're not currently into the KJV, get this one to have on your desk or bookshelf for future discovery.

I am very impressed with this Bible by far it is one of the bestest ones I own. And I own three now!! I remember having to go into google all the time to try and just understand little things and who was who. But this Bible gives you background knowledge, history, different references crossing from the old to the New Testament. It seems a bit intimidating at first, but it gives you step by step how to use it, and how to maybe do your prayers. I would say for as complex it is. It really is good for beginners. I have been on my journey with God for a really long time now butttt understanding the Bible sometimes can be tricky regardless of how close or far you may be with God it’s a BIG BOOK composed of many books. So breathe it’s okay. This book does go for 70 but I got this book on sale for like 30 or 35 during prime day sales. And it’s honestly great if you’re wanting to grow your relationship and be a proverbs 31 woman or a Ephesians 5 man. Or just get closer in general, it gives you so many pictures upon cross referencing and then even breaks down bigger words into more simpler words. But DOESNT change the original text from the KJV which is really nice. I’m biased to the KJV so if you’re like me you’ll like what this Bible has to offer while keeping all original text. It has the red lettering and even offers you two string bookmarks within the inside of it. The pages are a bit thicker then normal standard Bible paper which makes it nicer. It’s a soft leather which makes it easier to read and flip through pages!! Overall I have had this bible for four days now and it’s lovely. It even cites all the scholars and people who have helped come up with the information as well. So if you did want to google those said people to learn more you can. I love it and I can see now why it went for $70 originally but I got it on the sale and saved about $40 dollars. But I wanted to show a little bit about the book!!

A beautiful Bible, with so much extra information in it: notes, study tools, highlights, and more. I purchased one for a friend, but I looked closer at the description and decided that I needed one of my own! It's easy to understand, and I recommend this one for anyone, even beginning Bible students.

I’m 57 years old with bad but, corrected vision. I have Bibles from Cambridge, Schuyler, R.L.Allen and Church Bible Publishing. So I’m comfortable in saying I have experience with high quality Bibles. My comments are only regarding how this Bible is presented and not about the King James translation itself. That is a matter of preference and there are a number of positions regarding that. I prefer the KJV myself. This edition has a nice leather cover that I would say is somewhat flexible. Flexable but, not overly so. Similar to a Cambridge Calf Skin. Saying the print size is large is a bit of an overstatement. It may say it’s large print but the letters are thinner it seems. It’s a good size but a bit less than what one would expect from a Large print Bible. It is easy to read though. The commentary and notes are quite readable with the cross references being a bit on the smaller side. The paper is white and thick enough to not allow much ghosting even with color pictures on the reverse side. The color pictures are well done and sharp. The colorization used throughout the Bible is consistent and I quite enjoy it. It’s not over done at all. The back matter is extensive and looks very useful. All in all it is a very nice Study Bible and considering all the information it has the print size is more than acceptable. As with any large volume durability is the question. With heavy or rough use I don’t see this Bible lasting more than a few years. It does not have a paste down liner and the leather cover doesn’t “feel” like it will hold up to much abuse. With all this being said it is definitely worth the asking price however, if you are looking for a Bible that will last a lifetime of use, I’d look elsewhere.

Packed with History, Cultural Influences, Spiritual 🙏🏾 Social Application of Scripture. ❤️ Truly Enjoying mine so much that l Gifted one to My Pastor! Detail information encouraging group discussions, enhancing education and it’s easy reading too! 🤗

The Bible is perfect, big words, very easy to understand and a lot of references. Just wish it came with a case.

Great study bible. Very helpful.

Excelente biblia en inglés, ya que posee el Textus Receptus en su versión estándar de 1769. Los colaboradores son de primer nivel ya que conforman un equipo robusto del fundentalismo Bautista.

Gorgeous to start with, and really gives us a more clear perspective into this ancient lore.

This is my first time owning a King James Study Bible and I'm really enjoying this Full-Color Third Edition. In terms of build quality it is smyth-sewn with a candy-red ribbon marker, and this particular edition is the "Burgundy Leathersoft" which has the look and feel of real leather (and will likely last just as long) and has some pretty cool laser etching on the cover top and bottom that runs from the front all the way around the spine to the back. The only downside quality-wise is that Thomas Nelson decided to use a paper lining on the inside of the cover, but for a $55 pricetag it's a very well-made Bible. The stitching on the cover is gold, with gold lettering on the front cover and across the spine, and the gold gilding is well done (i.e., it doesn't have "train tracks" running along the pages, which is is a common trait among lesser-quality builds). This edition was printed China. It features hundreds of beautiful photographs and images, 57 full-color maps in the text that have been recompiled and redrawn for this new edition, and centre-column references with notes that include alternate and equivalent translations, explanations of unusual King James words and phrases (which is a big plus for me personally), and scores of doctrinal footnotes, personality profiles of biblical characters and archaeological sites. At the back there are a number of helpful topical indexes: Christ and the Gospels, Paul and his letters and end times prophecy. There's also a concordance with original language studies and 8 full-color Bible maps. The 10-point font Bible text makes reading a pleasure, and once again I have to say that, as someone who has never really read the KJV text a whole lot, I am finding the alternate translation notes a real help as they help me to enjoy the reading experience even more. This is a well-crafted Bible with solid study notes that will help the reader better grasp the Word. Well worth your time and investment.
