Glad I found this video... It reminded me that I've had the Faithlife Study notes in the Logos app on my phone for years now, and never actually looked into them. Diving in now, thanks JM!
@@DiscipleDojo Incredibly helpful! It is an incredible resource for pastors - it is just too hard to keep up with every Study Bible out there, yet I always have those in our congregation asking about various ones.
I didn't want to want this study Bible because I have about 15 study Bibles already with several more on my wishlist. You just had to cover it well enough to make me want it anyway :) I am glad they have the app since I am not a big fan of the NIV.
I have your top seven picks for study bibles.and a dozen other ones.I just purchased the NKJV Evangelical study bible hope it’s a good one couldn’t find to many in depth reviews on it .I recommend all my friends to watch your bible reviews if they are thinking or getting a certain bible.
@@DiscipleDojo The foot notes push 24 hour days in Genesis.They claim that since evening and morning is accompanied with a number it has to be a normal day which I find odd they never say 24 hour day but normal day.Normal to who?.Dr Walter Kaiser says there is no such rule in the Hebrew language,and those who use this argument are making the rule up.And the notes push a global flood not worldwide which I think can be misleading because from what I understand the word for a global flood in the Hebrew and Greek is just not used. That’s about what I’ve looked at so far.But good introduction to Genesis and good notes combating todays opposing worldview arguments
Another question, on this one.. If you had to choose being stranded on a desert island, between this Faithlife Study Bible and the Biblical Theology Study Bible, with the most diverse contributers in mind as a rule and best overall notes, which one would you choose ?
Did Michael Heiser contribute to that study Bible? I always heard he was one of the main editors/commentators for Faithlife at one point and was always curious to read it ( I’m not sure where I sit with Heiser 🤔) appreciate the video and looking to download the commentary now after watching video
Yeah agreed. I don’t mind listening to Heiser on some subjects or flip through “Unseen Realm” but couldn’t take a steady diet of him. Appreciate clarification! Looking forward to more reviews!
I'm using this study Bible on the app as I am reading through the Bible. I've been avoiding buying a study Bible because I require Super Giant print then I heard about the app.
@@DiscipleDojo After years of tweaking Logos, I've found my preferences as to minimize the number of "tabs" I need have been Netv2 Bible | Faithlife Study Bible | The New Oxford Annotated Bible | New Interpreter’s Bible, Volumes I-XII | Word Biblical Commentary | United Bible Societies commentaries | International Critical Commentaries | and a cross ref comparison of Netv2, LEB, KJV 1900, NKJV, RSV, NASB 2020, ESV, CSB, NLT . This creates in the webapp for Logos and simple enough interface to do devotional/casual reading while also have key resources at hand to dig in 'a little' if needed. You love to hear any feedback on a possible better setup.
The lexham commentaries are great also, since anything related to Faithlife, Logos, Lexham in the Logos software app will have tons of resources to other items in their possible library. One reason I try to default to the Logos related resource. Also, Lexham/Logos does fairly well of not pushing an ideological/theological position -- ie Reform/Calvinistic etc. It gives just enough and let's you decide what way you want to go with their references they'll include with the 'see more' type functions.
The NIV Study Bible has more material overall, but I think I like this one a little bit more, theologically speaking. But it's a toss-up honestly. I'd say get one physical and the other digital and you should be set.
Which study bible is the best out of these 7 bibles? The dake annotated reference bible, the faithlife study bible, the net bible full notes edition, the archaeological study bible by zondervan the ESV study bible the nkjv study bible full color edition or the fire bible. Secondly what's your favorite study bible? And lastly have you heard of the perry stone prophetic Hebraic study bible it's a 2 volume set bible with over 800,000 notes of commentary!!!! Anyways let me know God bless bye
I would stay away from both Dake and anything by Perry Stone. Of those you mentioned, Zondervan's Archaeology Study Bible is my favorite and the one I use as my primary study Bible. See our video review of each of the others here on the channel for my thoughts on them. But yeah, Dake and Perry Stone would make my list of Bibles to avoid, actually.
I have the Faithlife Study Bible and I agree that it is a good resource Bible. I am studying Hebrew and it has a lot of Hebrew words, which surprises me. What comparison can you make with the Complete Jewish Study Bible? Which one is better and has more Jewish interpretation of words and details of the Old Testament?
@@DiscipleDojo my husband owns a Complete Jewish Study Bible and it does not have as much more to offer or Hebrew words then Faithlife Study Bible. I was completely shocked about that and wanted to know from you what you opinion was. I felt that maybe I was missing something or did a poor evaluation. Thank you so much, Miriam
Yes, it is quite sparse to be called a "Complete" Jewish Study Bible! Haha (I know that's only because the translation is called the "Complete Jewish Bible", but still it's something of a letdown for those looking to know more about the Hebrew Scriptures themselves in my opinion.
I believe they are the same for the most part. I think the "illustrated" one is just the newer printing. But it may have some added illustrations from the NLT Study Bible that the original Faithlife Study Bible did not have. I'm not entirely certain as I've only used the original and the digital versions.
In one of the illustrations in the Bible, it shows how the ancient Hebrews saw the cosmos as a flat earth and a dome over it. I don't think the publishers of the Faithlife bible believe this but flat earthers would.
It wasn't just the Hebrews. The Egyptian and Mesopotamian world-picture that was ubiquitous in the Ancient Near East was a circular/curved land under a canopy/dome sky with the deep/abyss beneath both. The Bible poetically uses this world picture, but never teaches it as a literal cosmology.
Except Paul never read the kjv. Where do people come up with this crap seriously. The kjv was done in 1611 long after Paul was dead and it was translated from more recent manuscripts of that time. These new modern English bibles are being translated from manuscripts that are older than the manuscripts that were used for kjv. The kjv has verses that aren’t even in the oldest Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. Kings James was translated from the time of shakespere poet view so technically it’s not literal or dynamic. The only inspiration put into it was putting gods word into a poetic form from more recent manuscripts from that time since than older manuscripts have been discovered which is why modern English ones were done. People like to say oh this verse was taken out in these modern translations. No problem is kjv added stuff that’s not even in the oldest manuscripts available.
