   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 1   pilgrim99 | Jul 3, 2011 |  I love this bible. The study notes are top notch. Yeah, yeah, some folks balk at the NIV translation. It would be nice if it were ESV or NASB. But, that said, I enjoy reading the NIV, so I can handle it. If you want a no-nonsense, no-fluff study bible, invest in this one, you won't regret it.

Rooted in Scripture, the Reformed heritage is rich in truths that shape and define Protestantism. Justification by faith, salvation by grace, authority of Scripture ... the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible provides a more thorough understanding of the standards of the faith that lit the lamps of the Reformers and have been the assurance of Christians through the ages. Filled with over 20,000 study notes and 66 in-depth articles, this Bible clarifies the meaning and message of the Scriptures and sheds light on key doctrines and theological concepts from a Reformed perspective. Yet the thrust of the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible extends far beyond commitment to a tradition. With unswerving balance, it addresses the full sweep of God's Word, including numerous issues that do not directly involve Reformed distinctives. This Bible uses plain language to make scholarly concepts accessible. While some of the articles presume a familiarity with basic Reformed expressions, the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible is designed to speak to everyone who longs for a better grasp of God's Word and trusts in its sufficiency for every aspect of life.

The NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible is based on the New Geneva Study Bible, which was later renamed the Reformation Study Bible. It was originally published in the NKJV in the mid 1990's and is now available in the ESV.
The translation issue aside, the advantages it has over the NKJV/ESV Reformation Study Bible (RSB) include more extensive study notes and the inclusion of the Reformed confessions. While many of the notes are the same as the RSB's, others are different or more detailed. Due to the inclusion of the confessions, some of J.I. Packer's original articles were deleted in favor of new ones. (Those articles by Packer can also be found in his "Concise Theology.") Unfortunately, when the ESV version of the Reformation Study Bible was issued a couple of years after the NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible, the study notes and articles do not appear to have been changed or enhanced from the original NKJV version and no additional material was included.
Even if you don't like the 1984 NIV, if you are primarily looking for a reference work instead of a Bible for general use, this is the Reformed Study Bible to get if you have a choice. For those who do not adhere to Reformed theology, this is still an excellent resource if you're interested in learning about Reformed theology.
Unfortunately this Study Bible appears to be out of print and is now difficult to find at a reasonable price. Hopefully it will be reprinted at some point, but that would be somewhat unlikely in the near future given the current hegemony of the ESV and the ESV Reformation Study Bible. Since Zondervan is a publisher for the NASB, it's theoretically possible (albeit unlikely) that it could be issued in that translation. Perhaps an electronic version could be made available for the Kindle, Logos or some other platform. (
