Summary: Best Study Bible I've Ever Had
Review: While I have the KJV, the ASV, the Moffatt, and several others I've found the Scofield Reference Study Bible the most helpful. It has stayed true to the KJV. I first bought it in the 1970s, (the1967 version), but that version became so dogeared, with loose pages after over 30 years of use, that I went looking for a new one, and found the 1998 version which I bought almost a year ago.
Like I said, it's the best, because of the concordance, topical index, annotations, better marginal references than the other one, and maps. The footnotes are a bit off at times, but that's minor compared to the "gold" contained in the scriptures which is why I bought it in the first place!

Summary: An intellectual review
Review: While the above author tried to come from an intellectual standpont, he made his true intellect known by his comments. Being a serious bible student schooled in both the liberal and conservative schools I have found Scofield's notes to have passed the test of time. This cannot be said of liberal higher criticism, which has so enthralled itself in "theology (if it may even be called that anymore)" ,that it has smeared the name of Christ in the dirt. This bible presents a normal literal approach to interpreting the scriptures, and correctly exegetes the scriptures in comparison to the modern eisegesis of it's liberal counterparts. I highly recommend it.
