This Bible is out of
print but you can purchase it here for a decent price. Go to ebay,
amazon or half.com and you will see that others are trying to sell
it between $50 to $150. I have only a few copies and the wrapping is
still around it to show it is perfectly NEW.
Description: The Reformation Study Bible,
under the general editorship of well respected theologian and
popular author R.C. Sproul, presents the reader with extensive study
notes and commentary from leading North American Reformed
theologians**. Originally, it was published as the "New Geneva Study
Bible," in reference and deference to the Geneva Bible, the 1600s
translation favored by the English Puritans.
The majority of study Bibles in print today
advocate dispensational theology, so those of the Calvinistic bent,
both Presbyterians and Reformed Baptists, will find the Reformation
Study Bible to be a welcome and much needed relief.
It is interesting to note that editor R.C.Sproul,
in his excellent 1977 book "Knowing Scripture" makes the following
comment as part of a well reasoned critique of the Scofield
Reference Bible: "Some editions of the Bible contain not only brief
marginal notes such as mentioned above, but provide a running
commentary. The most famous example of this type of Bible is the
Scofield Reference Bible and the New Scofield Reference Bible. I am
personally opposed to such editions. My opposition is rooted not so
much in the theological posture of the commentary but in the
principle of running commentary itself." The learned Dr. Sproul
evidently modified his original position over the years, as we find
him the editing the study notes of the New Geneva Study Bible in
1995. Those study notes are excellent; well written, well
researched, and well reasoned. |
