What our customer's say!

"Learn to defend your faith", First, "Apologetics" doesn't mean that you are constantly apologizing for being a Christian!! Seriously, every Christian is commanded to be able to explain what we believe and why to non-believers and to those who ask us how we face death, disaster, and sickness with a peace that passes all understanding. Most of us are not taught in Sunday school or church how to really do that like we should be. There are two Bibles that will teach you everything you need to know to defend your faith, win others to Christ, and to know what other religions and cults believe and why. One Bible is this one, the Apologetics Study Bible in the Holman Christian Standard Version. The other is The Evidence Bible done by the folks at Living Waters Ministry, Ray Comfort. There should be a spot on your Bible shelf for one of these Bibles...or both. The Apologetics Bible in Hardcover has the Thinker image on it, in Genuine Leather it looks a little cheap, if you like your Bible to look nice, get the higher priced leather version (not the genuine); if you want sturdier paper for marking and study get the hardback and stick it in a cover to cover up the tacky looking cover. Its a great Bible.

"nikkigrant", I purchased the leatherbound version. I found the various commentaries throughout this Bible very interesting. My only complaint is, for me at least, it is hard to read. The art work at the start of each book shows through the pages. I find it distracting and hard for me to focus on the print. Otherwise, I love this Bible.

"Fantastic Work.. ", Loved this work - bought it last Saturday and am still going through many of the articles..

Would like more if...

1) Available in other translations (I read NRSV myself)

2) Why didn't Dietrich Bonhoeffer make the list?! Talk about a great apologist and martyr in the midst of an evil regime..

"Excellent Bible", I love this bible and highly recommend it. I have the leather bound bible and love the layout and format. In addition, it's very easy to read. The articles and notes are impressive. However, I would have to agree with some of the other reviews in that given the list of authors, contributors, scholars, etc., I expected the articles to be more in depth. Overall, a very good bible. I would also suggest the Archeological Study Bible for anyone seeking the truth.

"Great study tool", I really like this book. It has lots of commentaries,lots of explanations of the biblical customs and is in general perfect for my studies. I use this in conjunction with the Biblical Illustrator, from Lifeway, to get the most out of my Bible studies. I liked this book so well, I bought another as a gift.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Great Research Item For Any Minister's Library", Let me state what this is designed for. It is not meant to be a person's only study Bible. It does not have cross references as most study Bibles do. It's notes are primarily aimed at the emphasis on apologetics. If one is getting a person their first study Bible, I would recommend the International Inductive Study Bible or the MacArthur Study Bible.

This edition is meant for a person interested in defending their faith. As I would not make this a person's first study Bible, I also would not use this as a direct evangelism tool (i.e. buy it for a non-Christian). It is designed for Christians to share their faith.

It gives various tools to help, in addition to the notes and book introductions. It has articles on various apologetic issues from several different contributors. (The intros and notes are also written by different contributors.) It has some bios of apologists, and it has some "twisted scripture" sections, which either show how said Scripture is twisted or how this verse reveals how others twist Scirptures (an example of the latter is Gal. 1:8-9).

It is not perfect. One thing is the placement of the articles. Sometimes, it fits the subject of the article (e.g. looking at creation viewpoints in Genesis, or at worldview in Proverbs), but sometimes it has nothing to do with the part of Scripture it's placed. Likewise, the bios miss several key apologists. It contains one of my two favorite early apologists (Athanatius) but not the other (Tertullian). Even with modern apologists, it includes C. S. Lewis but ignores Francis Schaeffer.

One other flaw: I think that it misses opportunities in notes to deal with apologetics. For example, the two key verses on apologetics are 1 Peter 3:15 and Jude 3, but neither are dealt with in the footnotes.

This uses the Holman Christian Standard Bible, a good newer translation. I also like the fact that it tries to be uniting of true Christians rather than dividing them according to views on creation, etc.

This could have been done better, but it still is a needed resource, and useful in spite of its shortcomings. This would be a great gift for your pastor, Sunday School teacher, evangelist, or missionary friend.

"Well worth every penny!", I am extremely pleased with this Bible. With introductions to each book and tons of footnotes dedicated to an apologetic response, this Bible is a must for anyone interested in Christian Apologetics. With all the cults and false prophets on today's scene, Christians need a definitive response that is both sound in scripture and historically accurate, which you will find in The Holman Christian Apologetics Study Bible. The Holman translation is easy to follow and reflects up to date use of the English Language. Highly recommend!!!!

"Holman Apologetics Study Bible", I have read this bible and my New King James version concurrently to determine if the Holman translation compares in accuracy and "purity" to it. This translation uses the modern english terminolgy to make it easier to read. However, if one prefers the "flavor" and phraseology of the older KJ and NKJ versions, one may find this bible not as satisfying to read & study. That said the bible is suited for those who would not find the modern translation a negative. I compared identical verses in the Holman bible to the NKJ for accuracy. I found that their translation retains the essence & meaning of the NKJ.

The study notes at the bottom are informative without being overly wordy. I found the articles on apologetics to be very verbose and somewhat hard to decifer exactly what point the author was trying to make. Maybe that's because I never had any philosophy or theology classes, and I was trained to write in a succint style with brevity and clarity.

The format and style of this bible left something to be desired for me. That may be just a personal preference on my part. I will enumerate just in case anyone shares my preferences as these points may be the deciding factors on whether or not to buy this bible. The pages are an off white or grayish on a medium density black print. The type size is 8 or 9 point (not sure). If you have difficulty reading normal print type size, and require reading glasses, as I do, you may find this bible a little hard to read. You may opt for a large print bible.
The bible verses run continuosly, namely, each new verse does not start at the left margin of the column, but as the next sentence with the bible verse number preceding the verse. I prefer to have the verse start on a new line. This makes searching easier. This is not a "red letter" edition. The words of Christ are not in red. Again this is a personal preference, as I have found it easier to search for a particular verse of Christ when in red.

The cross reference notes are a very small type size, (6 point ?). Much smaller than the verse text. I have to use a magnifying glass. Again I state this for those of you who have difficulty reading small type. I have found over my 20 years of bible study that if you can't read comfortably you won't for long.

To summarize, the translation captures the meaning of the scriptures, and that would not be a major impediment to buying this bible unless you are used to the KJ or NKJ. For those who find these bibles difficult to read, you will like this translation. For those who can't easily read normal & small size type, you could find this uncomfortable to read for any extended period.

"Fails to deliver its promise !", The CSB translation of the Apologetics Study Bible is more accurate than the NIV but less than the ESV. On that note, I don't recommend this Bible for many reasons. First, the 130 Apologetic articles presented throughout this Bible are not even well written or convicting. Secondly, there is no cross reference, the footnotes only elaborate on a deeper understanding of the scriptures mentioned and they contain little historical or `apologetic' information. Thirdly, beyond the reasons aforementioned and many others, I don't recommend this Bible because it falls very short of what it promises, lack of scientific information, lack of truly proving that Christ's claims are unique... For a good study Bible, I recommend checking out the ESV literary study Bible or the ESV Reformation Study Bible, but NOT the Apologetics S. B...

"Deep and Broad", I have always wanted to know how to approach my friends and others who have had questions about the Bible and the Christian faith. This Bible allows me to search and understand the topics that arise throughout the Old and New Testaments in an insightful and fun read.
