Going to be interesting hearing a review of a clearly Reformed leaning Study Bible from a Pentecostal but I know you'll be rair, unbiased and charitable
Of course I'm also reminded of the Spurgeon, Lewis and Chambers "Bibles". I often wonder what all these humble saints would think about tribute Bibles in their names?
Though I really like Maclaren, Spurgeon was a little too focused on Calvinism for me, and so I personally won't go with the Edwards. But, I will say that his famous sermon of angry God alone is a fairly universally acceptable 'you need to get it in gear' that all of us no matter our lens can benefit from, and there may be other ideas that are likewise. Since I'm not Calvinist, I don't mind some exposure in some ideas, but personally not a fan of it being represented as THE system of salvation. The Edwards Bible does look really good and would be a treasure trove for anyone who is a big fan of his teachings or Calvinism in general.
Even if the title is not on its side. Lay it on it's side anyway. It helps the binding last longer! As a personal preference, I despise thumb indexing. I will not purchase a Bible that has them.
I appreciate the honest assessment of different Bible releases as always, and I also appreciate the charitable way you handle your disagreements with Reformed theology. Honest and straightforward about it, but charitable and respectful. God bless.
Very nice but even the leather soft is too expensive for me. I would very much like this, but I think I’ll have to wait a few years for it to show up in the second market thrift bookstores online also, have you ever reviewed the Ryrie Study Bible? Of all the study Bibles that I’ve read it’s my favorite thus far
By the way, Tim Calvinist don’t believe in once saved always saved, you’re not saved until you prove that you’re saved until the end when you’re saved and finally saved and take your last breath, etc. with faith, etc. so they kind of trust in themselves…
I have copies of the John MacArthur study Bible (LSB), the Warren Wiersbe study bible, and the Alexander Maclaren Study Bible. All three are interesting and potentially useful resources to have available.
have had the privilege of attending Bible studies run by a pastor who studied under Warren Wiersbe, who speaks highly of him. The Bible I have that bears his name includes excerpts from Mr Wiersbe's "Be" series of books.
The Jonathan Edward's Bible seems to be one to keep on my radar.
Does anyone else agree with me that if you're going to come out with a study Bible from Jonathan Edwards it should be in the King James. Since his quotes would have been in the King James and that's the Bible he would have studied and wrote his notes from. Doesn't it seem historically accurate to have his notes but then not actually use the text that he would have used to write them. I mean realistically we don't even know what Jonathan Edwards would have thought of the new King James version. I'm not King James only I'm just a historical preservationist. If you're going to try to represent somebody historically you ought to use the text they would have studied from to do it.
I love your honesty. "I have no clue about this Bible, but it exists". Please don't change. I love all the Bible channels, especially the Tims, but your straightforward, honest style definitely makes you my favourite.
Jonathan Edwards was a slave owner. Thus, I would be interested in seeing what he said about slavery verses in the Bible such as Exodus 21:7 which says "When a man sells his daughter as a slave . . . "
Great review and like you I appreciate different perspectives (although it's the opposite one for me 😂).
Warren Wiersbe was a great Bible teacher through his pastorate at Moody Church and later in a radio ministry with Back to the Bible. He wrote the "Be" series of commentary studies as well as compiling a series of sermons from various preachers on different topics (my wife actually scanned many a Spurgeon sermons for those books as he seemed to be Warren's favorite and she worked on the first edited drafts to break up the super long sentences since they were basically transcriptions of the preached sermons . . . as a result I met Dr. Wiersbe who was a godly man on several occasions) . . . much of his work is gracious toward the various perspectives (and his own was not forceful or overriding at all) and profitable for all.
Very nice Bible. I have no plans to buy anymore Bibles as I have a large collection already. I actually gave away 10 Bibles recently. I have one MacArthur Study Bible but only for opposition research. I don’t recommend the MacArthur Study Bible because he was a Calvinist. In that case I wouldn’t get the Johnathan Edwards Study Bible either. I was exposed to Calvinism for four years and that was more than enough of that kind of gobbly gook for me. It’s true we can’t save ourselves but God has given us the free will to choose or reject Him.
Great review and overview, I have been waiting on this for a while. Before I pull the trigger on getting this I have a question about the study portion/aspect of this Bible. Do you see this as a true study Bible on the same level as ESV or Nelson Study Bible or is this more of Jonathan Edwards notes and lite on the study portion. I hope this makes sense. I did get the Maclaren Study Bible and found it disappointing on the real study aspect. Thanks for insight and your opinion. Blessings
5:10–5:30 Edwards' views on Rome and the papacy were the standard views of virtually every Protestant reformer and denomination during the the time period of 1500s to the 1700s. Martin Luther(Lutheran), John Calvin and John Knox(Presbyterian/Reformed), Roger Williams(Baptist), Thomas Cranmer(Anglican), Cotton Mather(Congregationalist like Edwards), and John Wesley(Methodist) would have all agreed with Edwards on that point.
Whoop

Total depravity is that mankind inherits Adam's guilt
Wow, impressive, but I have enough bibles. Discretely puts in wishlist

Sold once again! Thanks!🙏🏻

WHITFIELD, was better!
Shout out to Matthew Everhard! I'm not reformed but Matt seems like a nice guy.
Looks good, red lettering also, I`m glad that Nelson is sticking with Blue lettering only in the Maclaren series.
Thanks for sharing. 👍

Your my favorite your Bible reviews are so informative, you don’t skip a beat, by the time the video is over I know what I need to know , thank you
Shout out to Matt Everhard! Not bad for a Calvinist. 😉
Good job, Tim! Keep up the good work!
Nice job Tim. Thank you for your time.🎚️

5:16 SOLD!
Went to catholic school 12 years, weekly mass, wasn’t Catholic then, never will be.
Thank you, but I don't know who Jonathan Edwards even is.
Ok, my Bible budget is busted and broke! But, I gotta add, just one more……..

You should chreck out the Weirsbe. His commentary is fantastic, IMO.
That's a beautiful layout.
Gotta love Edwards. Starts a great revival and publishes a study Bible 250 years after he's dead. Most impressive.
