The Amplified Study Bible, Leathersoft, Brown, Thumb Indexed

The cover and binding are solid with nice flexibility. This Bible looks like it will retain its sturdiness for a long time, judging by its appearance, after the constant use I've already given it. A fairly large Bible, but comfortable to hold with the material used for the cover. The new version with the "amplified" words/descriptions is more reader-friendly than the earlier version: both in the translation's grammar [sentence structure/word choice] and layout [current "amplifications" in their brackets]. This version & translation continues in dependability and accuracy. I consider the wording and sentence structure closer to the style of the ESV, or new CSB, than the more formal ASB style the Amplified Bible has used before. The study notes are well written and provide solid information. The font for the main text is easy on the eyes and easy to read. The smaller font for study notes is still comfortable to read without my glasses on. The cross references are also easy to see. There are two types: The first will be bracketed at the end of a verse to reference a verse(s) that have a direct correlation and the second (often multiple verses) will be listed at the bottom of the page to expand upon the reference(s). Together they make a formidable chain link style reference system. I also would have liked a larger concordance, but the topical concordance does address key names and subjects. I appreciate the indexing of theological notes being indexed both by location and alphabetically. Each book has an introduction and key points. Charts have been placed throughout the Bible but there is not an index for them. Deity pronouns are capitalized. Text is black letter. Old Testament quotes in the New Testament are printed in small capital letters for quick identification. The color maps are also clear and easy to look at in the back of the book. I am extremely happy with this Amplified Study Bible. It's design and features are very inviting and it has become a steady resource as well as carry-along.

I have been studying Bible Scriptures for many years. This amplified version is one of the best I have ever found. The print is large enough to read , the study helps are awesome, and the translation is accurate according to Hebrew and Greek word studies. This version is very easy to understand and is excellent for those who have a hard time with KJV language.

I purchased this as a gift but have the same one without the side letter tabs. It is an excellent study and reading Bible with diverse language and scripture explanations throughout. True messages of what Christian life has been and always will be all about. I love this Bible.It is larger print, although no red-lettering. It stays open on the lap or table easily. Really helps meaning come alive. It is a little on the heavier side.

Exactly what I needed. Excellent study bible. Footnotes add to understanding of the Word.

July 6th, 2024Just received this Bible today and after going through it with my husband (it’s for him, he loves this translation) we both love it. We love the study notes too. The quality is great for the price. If you have eyesight issues this is a great large print Bible, but not too big that it bothers someone who doesn’t use glasses. Look at pictures for reference. If you want to order this Bible, don’t think twice about it!

I love this translation. I love the way it draws out the meanings of the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic languages. I highly recommend this translation. I use it with my King James Bible when reading and studying. My only wish is that the publisher would put this study bible in a nice premium leather. It deserves it.

I love this Bible. The print is very good. The Amplified translation is very helpful it explains the text you are reading as you are reading the verse. The study notes are not overwhelming like some study Bibles can be but at the same time they are very informative. I highly recommend this Bible I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.

My husband is fine with the large print, but I did order the standard print which is pictured in my order. It would be helpful if Amazon sent what is actually pictured.The Bible is excellent!
