At last a Bible where you can get a clear idea of how traditional but not fantical Baptist think. The bible is well laid out with outlines and vital information on each book and the footnoting is excellent with a rich variety of comments from some of the better thinkers of the Baptist way.

For a Baptist the book is a plus for a non-baptist it is educational tool in comparative christian thought and theology.

This study Bible is one of the best versions out there. It is very easy to follow and understand. It has outlines and footnotes that allow you to apply each verse to everyday life.

I am a Seminary student and have gone through many study bibles. However, this work by W.A. Criswell is by far the best in the business.

I used this text in my 'intro to philosophy course', and found its contents to posit a significant impact upon my philosophical views. Biased firmly upon the likes of a synoptic view-point, this edition covers the grand scale of philosophy with a moderate, but yet convenient approach for the beginner.

Its contents include detailed and well organized chapters, with famous quotes from reknowned philosophers, from both Western and Eastern traditions. On top of all of this, on nearly every page lies colorful, and many times humourous cartoons, that relate to humanity and mans search for wisdom. At the end of every section, enclosed within the chapter, are detailed biographies of the many philosophers who have made their mark upon the world thought. At the end rests an intricate and detailed glossary, which provides useful as you study along in this text.

So if you are interseted in the depth and history of philosophy I recommend this this textbook. For the professor, student, and non-student alike this work will be enjoyable and resoursefull.
