Summary: perfect gift for all!
Review: I bought this Bible when I became born again. I didn't know the Word at all and believe i'm an intellectual-type. THIS BIBLE WAS THE CRITICAL FACTOR IN FINDING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. More than 5 years later, I still find it the best available for scripture reading and searching. My Pastor, I, and Christian friends of various denominations give this Bible as a gift. Great for those who are new in Christ or haven't come to Him yet. I am sending one to a prisoner.God's love to all who read this!

Summary: Bible Study for the adolescent christian
Review: I grew up in a christian home, with the King James translation of the Bible. It wasn't until I went through some difficult times in my life that I realized that while my body and my mind had grown to adulthood, I was still an adolescent in my faith. When I went looking for a new Bible I happened across the leather bound copy of The Quest Study Bible and through reading and studying the Q&A and scripture references I have grown in faith as well. I highly recommend this Bible.

Summary: Inquiry Only
Review: I have not purchased this book yet and am glad that I read the reviews first. My observation is that the Quest Study Bible is for beginners. Can you define "beginner". I'm an intellectual to a fault (dissecting and analyzing everything to death) that I wonder if there is anything out there a little bit more mature and/or challenging? Thank you.

Summary: Beware of some biased commentaries
Review: I have searched a while for a Bible to meet my needs and this one filled them perfectly. I strongly believe this is the best one out on the market. At first bought it in paperback and since I like it so much I ended up buying a second copy in hardback!!

Summary: Beware of some biased commentaries
Review: I loved this Bible when I first bought it and would have given it 5 stars then. But after 10 months I realized that I don't agree with several commentaries in the book. Most of the comments are well-balanced and give the reader several different views to choose from. However I've run across several comments I've scratched through in my Bible and written above it. For instance it says the reader can't claim the promises of the psalms and proverbs. It also spiritualizes away the meanings of some scriptures that change the God promised meaning. Also it seems to avoid topics I'd like to see comments on. Just keep an open mind with this Bible. On the whole I love the book and still use it every night. But in the future I want a different study Bible.

Summary: Phenominal
Review: I once owned the #1 best selling bible and had it stolen. In that book I had used Crayola markers and highlighted various scripture and had written down many scripture notes. Many of them answering questions from big questions I found in verses. As I began to shop for a new bible, this one immedietly caught my eye because it not only answered ALL my questions in it, but said it in easy-to-read english. I thought that since my Bible was stolen, ALL my answers were stolen as well.. But this Bible proved differently. If you are very intellectual about your reading and love to probe deeper without having to have 90 commentaries by your side, this is the solution for you. Don't take my word for it, go to your local bookstore and open it up. =) God bless you as you pursue your bible. Myself, I just purchased the leather bound version (twice the cost). =P it's well worth it.

Summary: A Bible that has an encylopedia worth of information.
Review: I purchased this bible when I was renewing the study of my Christian faith. The text is easy to understand, although not as poetic as the King James Bible. The chief benefit are the margin notes. The margin notes give short paragraph explanation on topics such as Leprosy in Biblicial times to Should Christians fast. The scripture links are helpful finding references. A great bible in my opinion for personal and group Bible studies.

Summary: Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand
Review: I would highly recommend this particular version of The Bible. The reading plans included are wonderful. The NIV version makes the reading and comprehension of God's Word so much easier to understand. Actual maps are included in the chapters when needed. At the beginning of each Book, there is a preview page to tell you who wrote that particular book and why, and when is was written. I would recommend this version to everyone, and all ages.
