I'm a new Christian. The first bible I had at hand was KJV, so I was happy to get my hands on a NASB version in a study bible with tons of notes from John MacArthur. Since I bought this used copy, I've learned so much, and so many of my questions have been answered, and it's been surprisingly enjoyable to just pick up and read wherever the book happens to open. I especially love the maps and charts throughout the book. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

This bible/commentary has been a huge blessing. Mr. MacArthur is gifted at putting things into historical context, thereby making the Scriptures easier to understand (not easy, mind you, but easier!). Once you know something's historical context, you can see the significance of even seemingly insignificant passages (by God's grace and the illumination the Holy Spirit.) this book helps make the obvious even more obvious: that the entire bible points you to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ, the only means of salvation!
John MacArthur's understanding of Holy Scripture is amazing. He is among the most knowledgeable evangelists alive today. Recently MacArthur's dear friend and protege R. C. Sproul entered into heaven to receive his his eternal reward for Speaking Light into a world of Darkness. John MacArthur and R.C. Sproul are/were the most gifted expositors of od's word in this generation. The MacArthur study Bible is a must read and study for those desiring to better understand scripture, one verse at a time.

I LOVE this Bible! I use many different Bibles when I do my studies. This one and the study Bible by Chuck Swindoll are my favorites because of the background information given, Greek word translations and context, maps, cultural context and history given, and photos that are provided.

General editor of this study Bible John MacArthur has been a pastor for nearly 5 decades (since ~1969) and a Christian for at least a decade more. He and some of his counterparts have assembled the study notes, etc. and they are phenomenal ... years of excellent exegesis have produced much fruit resulting in the form of sound doctrine that will be a major blessing for your to read. There are at least a few English translations of this study Bible: NASB (which I purchased), ESV, NKJV, etc. There also was just released a 20-year anniversary edition of this study Bible, available in the NKJV.
