Reader Feedback

The best, most scriptural study Bible on the market!

"If you are looking for an accurate translation and commentary that reflects the perspective of the original church, as opposed to very recent and modern theologies, then this is definitely for you!"

- Amanda N.

Great study Bible!

"This is a great study Bible that is well laid out with color articles. The articles are very informative from a theologically sound position. It is an excellent tool for learning the Bible and learning how to defend your faith."

- Frank S.

Excellent!

"The Bible is the best and most important book in your life. This study Bible makes it easier to understand the context, history, customs, and language."

- B. W. Morcous

The best study Bible I've ever come across!

"I love the fact that it deals with alleged contradictions. I also love the commentary on difficult passages."

- Daniel W.

Outstanding apologetics materials!

"Nothing like this on the market. While it treats Matthew 24:1-35 as fulfilled in the A.D. 70 Destruction of Jerusalem, it does not teach that the 2nd Coming of Christ has already occurred. It is loaded with material that refutes atheism, evolution, skepticism, and many other challenges to the Christian faith."

- Jeff

More clear!

"It has helped me understand a lot more of the Bible!"

- Roger A.

Ready to Give a Defense

Christian apologetics is the field of study concerned with defending all aspects of the Christian faith. The term comes from the Greek word apologia, which means "a written or spoken defense of one's beliefs," accordingly, Christians are "appointed for the defense of the Gospel" (Philippians 1:17). Following the words of the apostle Peter, faithful Christians should endeavor to be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks us a reason for our hope of eternal life (1 Peter 3:15).

The Defending the Faith Study Bible includes an icon index (found on page 5) that helps readers quickly locate commentary on key apologetics topics. Each topic is represented by a unique, color-coded icon that appears throughout the study notes. For example, alleged Bible discrepancies are identified with a red icon wherever that topic is discussed.

・Creation - Highlights articles and study notes related to creation, origins, Genesis, science, and the biblical account of creation.
・Bible Inspiration - Identifies content that provides evidence for the inspiration, reliability, and authority of Scripture.
・Existence of God - Points readers to apologetics content addressing the evidence for God's existence and common arguments for theism.
・Deity of Christ - Marks passages and articles that defend the divinity of Jesus Christ and His identity as the Son of God.
・Alleged Bible Discrepancies - Helps readers quickly locate explanations of difficult passages, alleged contradictions, and common objections to the Bible.
・World Religions - Directs readers to discussions comparing Christianity with other world religions and belief systems.
