The New Oxford Annotated Bible/Macintosh

User Review: - Solid Work
I first bought this Bible for a biblical literature class and although I thought it was bulky to carry around, the notes are the best I have seen other than Harper Collins study notes. The are accessible for Bible scholars who are at beginning and advanced levels. I have since gifted this NRSV version to family and friends who are interested in studying the Bible in depth.

If you are looking for a great study Bible, but not exactly the best "on-the-go" size then I would strongly recommend this Bible to you.

User Review: - Well Organized
The information is concisely presented without going into a lot of detail. However there is certainly depth. Good cross-referencing is a key factor in my decision to recommending this great study bible volume.

User Review: - A very liberal and PC study Bible
The Bible commentaries are written from a decidedly liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates for the books. Their notes are not balanced and really does not present opposing points of view or evidence to the contrary. More a work of anti-Christian and anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.

User Review: - Great for students
I bought this book when I signed up for a class on the Bible as literature, and now I'm really glad I have a copy. The notes are outstanding, as are the overview sections of each book and the history. I like the binding, also - it always sits just right when you open it to a page.
