The only thing I wish this BIble had were tabs for each of the books of the Bible as well as ribbon page holders. Other than those items, which I prefer in every Bible I have but can be difficult to come by, I love this heavily foot-noted and educational Bible.

The Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible was recommended by a friend. I got it for my husband as a gift, thinking that if he didn't like it, I probably would, so it was a safe bet. My husband won't put it down! He loves how it provides information on all the details that give significance to the scripture based on the context of the culture. He says, "It's an awesome resource to immerse yourself in 1st century culture and is very helpful to see the world that the Bible was written in." I can't wait to read it too!

Love sharing pertinent facts with people when discussing scriptures. What an age we live in when we can seriously dwell into the history and archeological finds of the bible while gaining ground in our understanding. The more we learn, the more grounded we become.

I feel it is important to know how the people lived back then in order to fully understand what the Bible is talking about
