Life Application Study Bible

Product Information

The publisher says it was designed to help answer the question: What does God's Word mean for my life today? Before you decide on a good study Bible for you, it’s really important to determine the best translation of the Bible to use. Because you want the translation to be as close to the original as possible, while still being readable. These types of study Bibles are primarily designed to help you understand the meaningof the text in each book of the Bible.

While their comments can certainly be helpful in understanding the text, they don’t require obedience of any sort. The Life Application Study Bible, Third Edition, is quite simply the most complete Bible ever compiled. There are literally dozens of study Bibles available to choose from, and you can be sure that there is one that fits your particular needs and desires. Bottom line: When it comes to choosing the best study Bible, I would recommend one that focuses on interpretation rather than application.In addition to providing many application notes, the Life Application Study Bible offers several kinds of explanatory notes, which help you understand culture, history, context, difficult-to-understand passages, background, places, theological concepts, and the relationships of various passages of Scripture to other passages. Overall, this is a big simplification of the two methods of translation, but I think you get the point. Whether you are preparing for future Bible studies or daily readings, this study Bible for men and women is the ideal resource for lifelong discipleship.

In other words, instead of simply translating the words as they were originally written, an attempt is made to interpret the meaning of the original words and then let that interpretation guide the translation. Because I believe that the Holy Spirit is primarilyresponsible for helping us apply God’s word to our lives. This most recent update to the Life Application Study Bible is currently available in the NLT and NIV, with a KJV edition scheduled to be released in late 2021. A carefully organized cross-reference system in the margins of the Bible text helps you find related passages quickly, including parallel passages and text quoted from another passage. Personally, I believe this is an inferior and unhelpful method of translation because it has the potential to introduce interpretationinto the translation.Each book of the Bible begins with a detailed book introduction, and the Bible also includes cross-references, textual footnotes, and a combination Dictionary/Concordance. Where other study Bibles offer insight about the text, the Life Application Study Bible goes one step further and asks readers to consider how it applies to the rhythm of their daily lives.

You can watch the video below to see the Life Application Study Bible in action, and keep reading for more details as well as links to where you can purchase a copy. Usually, these Bibles have loads of study notes underneath the text, plus maps, diagrams, cross-references, and dozens of other helpful tools.Charts and diagrams help readers visualize different concepts and relationships and their significance in the book, throughout the Bible and in our lives. This can get especially dicey if you’re getting into more difficult texts, like in the Book of Revelation. There are obviously differences between each of these Bibles, and scholars will debate the merits of the study notes, but overall I think these are your best bet.
