The NLT Study Bible @ Amazon.com
Well, the NLT has certainly been making its way around the blogs lately. A good portion of this sudden notice being given is due, I’m sure, to the release of the NLT Study Bible in September. I have been looking forward to it ever since I heard the announcement, and was able to get my hands on a review copy thanks to Laura Bartlett and the folks at Tyndale House Publishing.
Sean Harrison, general editor for the NLT Study Bible, recently answered the question “what makes the NLTSB different from other Study Bibles?” with this:
“Some study Bibles focus on helping people to accept a particular doctrinal system, while others focus on “personal application.” Others simply provide interesting details about the context, language, grammar, etc., without asking how that information will impact people’s understanding of the text. Still others focus on a particular type of study methodology—topical study, word study, etc. Our goal, by contrast, was to provide everything we could that would help the readers understand the Scripture text more fully as the original human authors and readers themselves would have understood it.”
