This bible is from the lineage of the Geneva Study Bible. That was the first one translated into English and contained notes to help the layperson with basic orthodox theology to help them in their studies. I believe this ESV version to be extremely accurate in translation with a couple of exceptions, the main one being the Greek word '"doulas" being translated "servant" instead of the only meaning it has: "slave." It still retains the flavor of the KJV while being updated according to more manuscripts that have been discovered in the past 200 years. The notes serve an extremely important asset to help the believer understand difficult passages while holding true to the faith that founded our country. I would give high marks to its editing also and recommend it for all true students of scripture.Read full review
The best book of all time. It holds timeless the truth of our God to all who would hear and adhere. In it,God instructs us about how we should live. As for study for new believers, this is a great study Bible with many expository teaching. The best on the market. I also read The MacArthur Study Bible.

The Reformation Study bible is one of the best study bibles available. You get so much in it. The notes are from some of the most brilliant scholars in the world. It will help the seasoned Preacher as well as the new Christian understand the biblical text and its historical facts. The ESV version makes it even more understandable. What a wonderful version of the bible.

The Reformation Study Bible is one of the best study Bibles I have ever used. I am a pastor and a chaplain and I have immensely enjoyed the readability of the notes. The ESV text is easy to read, yet not loosely translated. R.C. Sproul has done an excellent job editing this study Bible. Sometimes when difficult passages are explained, various views are given to shed light on the subject. I have one hesitation regarding the ESV. Certain translations italicize words that are "added" to help with the flow of the translation. The ESV does not continue this feature. Even still, I recommend this study Bible, no matter if you are a layman or a scholar. It is well worth every dollar you pay for it.
Excellent discipleship for self and teaching notes. If had to choose one Bible if ship wrecked on island, this would be my choice.
