Members Disciple.Luke Posted March 14, 2017 Members Share Posted March 14, 2017 It's hard to a decent KJV study bible these days. Someone recommend The Defenders Study Bible by Henry Morris, but believe it's out of print because the prices for it on Amazon are ridiculous. I have seen there is Henry Morris Study Bible now in KJV. Has anyone read it? If so would you recommend it, and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not 100% accurate, eg. it questions the Received Text in places, but it is very helpful on the typology of the OT.

Members 1611mac Posted March 15, 2017 Members Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have a Morris Study Bible. It's a good reference tool (apologetics especially) but I would not recommend it for your main bible. Consider a good reference Bible for your main carry and study Bible (if that is what you are looking for).

Members Disciple.Luke Posted March 15, 2017 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2017 I carry a compact reference KJV by Holman Bible Publishers for personal reading. I have always enjoyed apologetics, but I kind of got the impression the Henry Morris mainly focused apologetics on literal 7 day creationism. Which I absolutely agree with but my Sunday school class has been studying the creation subject for almost half a year using the Answers in Genesis curriculum, so I'm looking for something different to study in depth. Which Study or Reference Bible would you recommend (Other than Scofield)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't believe in study Bibles. I believe it's important to keep God's words separate from man's words. I have Wilmington's Guide to the Bible, the Way of Life Encyclopedia of the Bible and Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary. I also have a shelf full of collected antiquarian books that contain sermons and many old dictionaries, but I stick to those three listed when I need assistance. I can't imagine having a commentary alongside of God's word. I used the NIV study bible before I knew any better and I think the concept is just awful. I think it's just laziness, so one does not have to set down the Bible and open another book. I am also not a supporter of Scofield. If you haven't learned about him, a little searching should tell you all you ned to know about why I keep myself as far from him and his teachings as possible.

Agree, I am not a fan of Scofield either. Edited March 15, 2017 by Disciple.Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
