Beautiful study bible. Very well made.

This book took me so much deeper, in my understanding God, and my walk with God. Forever grateful to you, John MacArthur and ALL, who participated in publishing this Study Bible.God Bless you All.

I can scarcely believe that I own a Bible like this. It's something you want to get early in life and use it until you have no life. It's truly beautiful, and the supple goatskin leather cover makes it a pleasure to hold and to smell. I wanted a genuine leather Bible so that it would lay open easily and not close on itself. It does that. The paper is pure Quality with a capital Q The 9.5 font is smaller than I would like, but it is dark black on the white pages, and easy to read. I was hoping to get a large=print Bible and investigated a number of them, but what they call large-print is actually only between an 11.5 and 12 font, maybe 12.5. That's not large print. It does not have thumb page-finders but honestly, I've had them, and they're not worth it. Your Bible ends up looking years older than it is when the pages get frayed from the thumb page-finders. And here's a little piece of advice: do not waste your time or money on those DIY indexes. The pages to which they get attached rip quickly, and when you are through taping them back on, your bible looks like it came from a yard sale -- in 1903. This is a Study Bible and then some. In his inimitable way, there is nothing MacArthur doesn't cover. The layout makes it the easiest Bible I've ever used for cross-referencing, and looking up anything, including maps, timelines, charts, and fascinating comments and facts. I was hoping to get a red- or blue-letter Bible to delineate Jesus' words from the rest of the text, but alas, it is not. You will want to have enough money to buy a cover with a handle immediately because it is large and somewhat heavy -- certainly unwieldy. Without a carrying case, it would be difficult to negotiate walking any distance with it if you had other things to carry. I started reading mine immediately, from Page 1, because all the preliminary information and introductions are tantalizing, and much more extensive than you would find in an ordinary Bible. Getting through just the peripheral information is almost like taking a seminary course, much less getting to the actual scriptures. I regret I didn't have this magnificent Bible decades ago.

I Need eye glasses and a magnifying glass to read it.

I love the delux edition. The leather, binding, and paper are very high quality. The footnote commentary is insightful. I use this in combination with the Oxford NRSV. The only thing that I wished that it had that it doesnt, is indexing tabs.

Good and worth it!

Lots of information, very appealing and the interior is very nicely designed. That being said, I dropped mine from the couch and the spine became unglued, I guess because it's pretty heavy. It turned out to be more fragile than I expected. However I glued it back and use it daily.
