As a person who has lived without a study Bible for most of my life (I received my first one four or five years ago), I am still warming up to their usage. In my view, the value of a study Bible edited by trusted authors is in its useful comments and exegetical tools, which can provide a starting point in a deeper study of the Scriptures.

Because of my interest in church history, I was intrigued when Crossway published the ESV Church History Study Bible in 2022, and am grateful for a chance to review it. It is a beautiful volume, available in several covers (including black genuine leather).

It is important to note from the start that this Bible is not an exegetical tool. It includes cross-references, in fine print, but no discussions on the meaning of words or the historical background of texts. Alternative translations are given only occasionally.

In fact, my curiosity about these voices was frustrated by the fact that the list of authors does not include page numbers where these authors can be found. This is understandable, because it would have added some pages to an already full volume.

And while I applaud the fact that the editors included an article on the importance of studying the development of the global church, apart from early authors such as the North African church fathers and a few representatives of the Syrian church, writers and theologians from Asia, Africa, and South America are not included. To be true to the article, it would have been good to hear some of their voices. For example, Byang Kato, Wang Mingdao, and Pablo Besson would have added to the conversation.

This critique is not meant to devalue this Bible, which was carefully put together by an impressive number of respected authors, including Lee Gatiss, Gerald Bray, Michael Haykin, Chad Van Dixhoorn, Jonathan Gibson, and Keith Mathison. It is simply meant as a guide to the reader to know what to expect.

Once readers understand that this is not a survey of the history of biblical interpretation, nor an attempt to include voices from all times and continents, they can enjoy this Bible for what it is and for the purposes for which it was intended.

Given the general lack of interpretative discussion and contrasting voices in the comments, readers might find themselves in occasional disagreement with the opinions of some of the quoted authors. Even this, however, can stimulate reflection and further study.

A study Bible is a book that includes the full text of the Bible plus additional features that help readers better understand and apply the Bible. How should you use a study Bible? Here are some suggestions for what to do and not do.

I just finished about five years of work on a study Bible that recently released: the NIV Zondervan Study Bible. (Don Carson is the general editor.) As I helped to edit this study Bible, I consulted many other study Bibles. In my view, these were the four best study Bibles at the time: ESV Study Bible, NIV Study Bible (which is remaining in print), HCSB Study Bible, and NLT Study Bible. Now I think that the top two study Bibles available are the ESV Study Bible and the NIV Zondervan Study Bible.

A good study Bible takes all of this into account and highlights what is most significant for understanding books of the Bible and particular passages. The introductions to each book of the Bible explain the broad literary context and relevant historical-cultural context, and the study notes explain individual parts in that larger context.

Make organic connections with the whole canon on its own terms, across the storyline of the Bible, especially regarding how the Old and New Testaments integrate and climax in Christ. This is a main distinctive of the NIV Zondervan Study Bible.

Quality study Bibles are one of the most helpful all-around tools you can use to better understand and apply the Bible. So by all means use them (responsibly) as you focus primarily on the God-breathed text.
