NLT Study Bible
The NLT Study Bible has tried to do something different. W hile there are many study Bibles out there, this stands out as a blend of a dynamic, thought-for-thought translation along with a comprehensive set of academic study resources–a unique pairing that has not, until now, even existed. Some have wondered if the NLT would match well with such a scholarly set of notes; but this is the very intent behind the NLT Study Bible–to provide a Bible translation that is easy to read and understand in our modern English supported by strong interdisciplinary study resources. |

This study Bible boasts an impressive number of features to help guide, extend, enhance, and organize your study. Along with the typical elements of a study Bible (book introductions, maps,  outlines, footnotes and cross-references), the study system is bolstered with frequent timelines, summaries, thematic notes, biographical entries, word studies, and even suggested readings on selected topics. For instance, the text of the Sermon on the Mount includes cross-references and footnotes, but also two thematic articles entitled “The Blessings of Jesus” further explaining the Beatitudes and “Little Faith” extending on the infamous ‘Oh ye of little faith’ verse (Mt. 6:30). Biographical entries feature Biblical characters from Abraham and Paul to Judas and Herod Agrippa and are aimed towards enhancing your understanding of the significance and impact of these important figures. Comprehensive book introductions include inspirational quotes and suggested further readings from commentary writers and other authors. All in all, this study Bible provides a multitude of study helps geared towards an understanding of historical context for comprehending what the Bible is saying for itself and what it means for you. |
