A nice upgrade to the 1st edition that came out about 20 years ago
If you are a fan of study bibles with lots of charts, graphs, and study notes then this is a great bible to add to your collection. Most of the footnotes are the same as the first edition but the charts, graphs and photos are upgraded and now in full color. The original was not in full color. This is big and bulky. The print font is very readable even though it is small. Comfort print font lives up to its name. I enjoy reading the NKJV and was pleased with this purchase.

This is an excellent study bible.
I own a few study Bibles with different Scripture translations. To me, the NLT is the most readable and easily understandable translation. The NLT Study Bible notes are most excellent. I love the language and style of the NASB as it is the translation I first used after becoming a Christian. I love the NKJV for its beautiful language and because it includes many NT (New Testament) phrases and verses which greatly show how Scripture interprets Scripture, that the the NU (Nestle-Aland United) NT text omits.I bought both the hardcopy and Kindle versions of this Bible. The notes, cross references, in-text maps, articles, word studies, character studies and ginormous concordance are nothing short of amazing. I am enjoying reading this Bible one page at a time - including all cross references, all footnotes and all word studies and special articles. It takes quite a while to read the Bible this way, but the richness of reading familiar or repeated verses in the cross references and footnotes helps to solidify the truth of their teaching into my mind and spirit.The almost full-color aspect of this bible is gorgeous. Why "almost"? Because Nelson decided for some strange, unexplained reason to print the words of Jesus in black instead of the traditional red in this "full-color" Bible. However, that creates an opportunity for me to go through my NT and underline Jesus' words in red with a Pigma marker and flexible ruler, reinforcing His teachings in my mind and spirit.These last few paragraphs are a bit long and are for the benefit of those who've struggled with navigating through this Bible on their Android phone with the Kindle app.I bought the Kindle version so I could easily read this Bible's rich features on my phone while in bed or on the go. The instructions on how to navigate through the various parts of this Bible in the beginning pages of the Kindle version are very helpful. It's quite easy to navigate to any chapter and book, as the instructions describe. However, if you're looking for verse 85 of the 119th Psalm, you'll have to scroll a few pages past the beginning of the chapter to find it. Other Bible software I have and use on my phone makes it much easier to navigate directly to specific verses.When initially looking up a cross reference or footnote with the Kindle version, verses referenced in them are not hyperlinked. You have two options. You can either look up the verse via other Bible software on your phone (or a hardcopy) or select "See all footnotes" at the bottom of your screen. After doing option two, referenced verses are hyperlinked and are easy to select. The letter of the footnote you select is highlighted and to the left of the verse number from which it was selected. After selecting the hyperlink and reading the cross referenced verse, you can navigate back to the list of all footnotes by touching the lower part of your screen on a non-hyperlinked area, which brings up the Kindle quick navigation within a book. Select the tiny window at the bottom which reads, "Back to nnn", where "nnn" is the previous page you were viewing, which is the list of footnotes. The highlighted letter next to the verse that began this trek is gone. So, you'll simply have to remember which verse you were reading. Then, touch the letter to the left of the verse, which will take you directly back to the book, chapter and verse. After you practice this a couple of times, you'll get the hang of it.The instructions in the Kindle Bible tell you to use the back button on your device to get back to where you were originally reading in your Bible. If I do that on my phone, the Kindle reader exits the Bible book and presents me with the list of books in my Kindle library. Using my Kindle hardware, the back button works as expected. The instructions do include the caveat that you'll need to look up your specific device's instructions regarding navigation. Those instructions probably won't tell you anything about Kindle navigation, in which case you'll simply have to experiment and find what works for your device.

Beautiful and Informative
This is the best study Bible I have tried; others spend too much time explaining the obvious (I can figure out for myself that the animals in Nineveh didn't actually repent in sackcloth and ashes!). This Bible has full color maps, pictures of the relevant areas, and extensive notes on the culture and practices of the ancient peoples mentioned in the various passages. Manages to make even Deuteronomy and Leviticus fascinating and understandable, which is no easy task. Pages are thin and typeface rather small, but overall a wonderful value for the price.

Beautiful Bible
This is a great study Bible! Full of extras that help you understand the word better. The only thing I didn’t like was Christ’s words are not in red.

Absolutely Love! Highly Recommend!
I wanted a new Bible. Before the new year I went to B&N to thoroughly look through the Bible options to choose one I really liked. It was between this one and another. Looked at the price of $80 for this one and then decided to check Amazon. At the time, it was around $65 on Amazon which was a good price and I had no problem paying it. Well, I never got around to ordering this Bible until now. I just so happened to open the app on my phone and what do you know, this Bible was on the main screen & on sale for less than $65 so I knew I had to order it ASAP.Unboxed it the moment it arrived and throughly looked through it. Got super excited and added my Bible tabs and started reading at the beginning. I love the prologues, outlines, timelines, culture descriptions of clothing and way of living, scripture break downs, colored photos and charts. In the back you will find the following sections; concordance, table of monies/weights/measures, theology breakdown, teachings & illustrations of christ, prophecies of the Messiah fulfilled in Christ Jesus, list of parables of Jesus, list of miracles of Jesus, prayers of the Bible, maps, and a really nice section just before the concordance listing the Bible books, theme, the focus of Christ, implications, and questions for self reflection relating to self and the world around us.I really really really love this Bible and I am super excited to use it for study. This Bible will allow me to get a deeper understanding of my creator, the revelations of his word, his promises, the principals in which to live by and his love for myself and humanity. I am ready for growth and to deepen my relationship in connection with Christ.. They only complaint I could have is the print. While smaller than I would like because I like writing in my Bibles and my eyes are not as sharp as they use to be, its a trade off I'm willing to except. The simple solution: order a magnifying glass; problem solved! Best Bible I have purchased to date.

A Real Treasure
Was impressed with how quickly this arrived.With its stunning desgn and afull complement of charts, maps, tales, and indices, this study bible is a treasure trove of information for someone starting out on their faith journey. However, some of the supplementary material seems to be at 7:00 or eight point, which would make it more difficult for those who struggle with fine print. A great gift for Confirmation, baptism, or for anyone wanting to dig deeper into the Word.
