This is a beautiful bible for the price. As a Methodist this bible helps me understand Wesley and my faith more. I only wish this was offered in NIV, KJ, or NKJ version.
Review by Robert Smith, 2010-07-22
I bought the bible for personal study and occasional sermon preparation. Physically it is a very nice volume, well bound, nicely printed. The maps in the back are particularly nice.
With its running commentary on scripture and highlighted wesleyan terms it is a nice introduction to Wesleyan thought and theology, though I think a dedicated book on
Wesleyan thought would more helpful, perhaps using this bible to look up references.
I did not find this to be a useful Study Bible, that is, a Bible that helps me study the Bible. I particularly look for a decent concordance and thorough cross-references to tie together parallel passages, show where a passage is quoted in another part of scripture and to help with topical studies. The Welsey Study Bible has no concordance and only very meager cross references embedded in the commentary. It would be very hard with this Bible to, say, do a study on eternal security or the role of women in the church. It would be easy to find out what Wesleyans think about any particular passage.
Given all that I returned it. I will be looking for a real 'Study Bible' and read things like Wesley's standard sermons for the rest.

I have this bible suitable for my own personal use, and as a fan of Wessley most intersting. Bible is of good quality print clear and comments good.
Review by David L. Smith, 2010-04-01
I haven't had this very long. So far all I've reviewed is Mark. The commentary is clear and good, although the ties to information in the Old Testament are not as many as I've seen in another study bible, but again, all I've studied so far is Mark.
Review by J. R. Steele, 2010-02-10
I honestly believe this Bible has been a long time coming. It is tremendous to see Wesley's notes in a Bible. The print is just right, the cover is outstanding, and the presentation of the notes is well done. I am very thankful for this Bible.
