Title: What I wanted but slow delivery
Review: This Bible seems to be the most comprehensive version of the New Revised Standard Version, which is considered by many scholars to be the best modern translation of the Holy Bible. Its commentary is thought provoking and concise. I would say, however, that this version is not for the casual reader of the Bible. A grasp of basic theology is needed to get into the commentary. As with most Study Bibles, I understand that the remarks are someone else's opinion. I purchased this Bible specifically for an Education for Ministry course I'm starting.If someone is looking for an easier to understand Bible, "The Message" should be more to your liking. I have both, and often refer to The Message to make sure I'm understanding the meaning of confusing passages.I would have rated this product as 5 stars were it not for the absurdly long time it took this product to come from the vendor in South Carolina to me. If you want this product, I would recommend using a different vendor.
