The Bible commentaries are written from a decidedly liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates for the books. Their notes are not balanced and does not really present opposing points of view or evidence to the contrary. More a work of anti-Christian / anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.

I just started using this in a bible study on Tobit. I found the notes to be quite readable and very informative. I know I'll get a great deal of use out of this bible.

This is the best bible i have yet to own. The bibnding and leather are great, the text is a wonderful size, and is glorious due to the addition of the Apocrypha. The notes are the best of any Bible I have ever seen. They reference knowledge and scholars outside of simple Christian thought. The notes as well as the translation are enhanced due to the ecumenical influence. No other Bible refernces such ancient texts such as the "Epic of Gilgamesh" or the "Enuma Elish" in their study or annotation notes. Not only does it provide scholarly anceint knowledge of the geography or other topics, it also provides a practical side to each scripture. Great for in-depth study and research. The best bible translation since it takes advantage of the Dead sea Scrolls, which no other translation really does. Most recomended by professors and scholars in modern schools. These notes are wonderful, and challenging, but the best around. Highly recomend this bible, best purchase you can make.
