Complete bible October 14, 2008 I bought this Bible for my EFM class. It was recommended and I'm glad it was. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it's so well annotated that sometimes it is distracting. It's best to read the chapters and verses first then the notes second.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apochrapha September 15, 2008 3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am involved in a Bible Study course and this Bible was recommended by our pastor who is leading the class. I have enjoyed reading the information on each book of the Bible as well as the additional information on each verse including interpretation and/or background of many of the words within the verses. This is also the Bible that is used for scripture reading in our Chapel sessions each Sunday. It is easy to read and understand in most cases. I am really enjoying this study Bible.

My favorite Bible and my favorite Bible Version. The Annotations at the bottom give so much information.
A very liberal and PC study Bible July 28, 2008 20 out of 35 found this review helpful
The Bible commentaries are written from a decidedly liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates for the books. Their notes are not balanced and does not really present opposing points of view or evidence to the contrary. More a work of anti-Christian / anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.
