Maps Because I believe that the Holy Spirit is primarilyresponsible for helping us apply God’s word to our lives. He is the one who makes convicts us of sin and righteousness. He is the one who reveals Christ to us. He is the one who comforts us in our afflictions and encourages when we’re downtrodden.

When choosing, I would recommend using this formula (that sounds too precise, but you know what I mean): So yes, take some time to do research before you choose a study Bible. But even more importantly, obey the word of God. First, let me say that both interpretive and application study Bibles are wonderful resources, and calling one type the “best study Bible” probably isn’t the most helpful way to think about the subject.

Bottom line: When it comes to choosing the best study Bible, I would recommend one that focuses on interpretation rather than application. Bringing It All Together: Best Study Bible Recommendations The notes, however, are not inspired by God. They are written by men and women and are based on their particular interpretations of scripture. While their comments can certainly be helpful in understanding the text, they don’t require obedience of any sort. Only the Bible itself commands that kind of obedience. Best Study Bible: Interpretive or Application? Additionally, I don’t want someone else doing the hard work of wrestling through how to apply various verses. I want to prayerfully grapple with the text, seeking God’s help to pull out the various meanings and applications.

Personally, I believe this is an inferior and unhelpful method of translation because it has the potential to introduce interpretationinto the translation.The Life Application Study Bible has been one of the best selling Bibles in the world for over thirty years, and in 2019 it was completely overhauled with edits, updates, and new material. This new “Third Edition” initially appeared in Tyndale’s flagship NLT edition of the Life Application Study Bible, but now they’ve released an updated NIV edition, and later this year the update will arrive in a KJV option.

Dynamic equivalence study Bible translations attempt to translate the Bible in a “thought-for-thought” manner. In other words, instead of translating each word individually, they attempt to translate the original thoughts behind each word and phrase. New features include: a refreshed interior design with a second color for visual clarity; meaningfully updated study notes and features; and the Christian Worker's Resource- a special supplement to enhance the reader's ministry effectiveness.Bottom line: If you want the best study Bible, I recommend getting an essentially literal translation. Generally speaking, study Bibles fall into one of two categories: Interpretation Centered Study Bibles Before you decide on a good study Bible for you, it’s really important to determine the best translation of the Bible to use. Personally, I believe the best study Bible will have study notes written by a variety of scholars. This allows you to get a variety of perspectives on a variety of texts. If all the notes are written by a single person, you’re only getting their interpretation of all the passages. This can get especially dicey if you’re getting into more difficult texts, like in the Book of Revelation. The Life Application Study Bible is an award-winning and best-selling Bible for good reason: it helps people apply the Bible to their lives. I’m quite impressed with the overall look and feel of the copies I have for review, and I think the study material is quite good.
