Very good information. Just a couple of notes: 1. Most of the maps in both the ESV Study Bible and the MacArthur Study Bible are exactly the same. However, I think that the ESV Study Bible has more maps (although some of the maps are just shown multiple times). MacArthur has (I think) 2 maps which the ESV does not - one being a map of Ezekiel’s Vision of Israel’s New Boundaries during the millennium. 2. I am fairly sure that the comments in the MacArthur Study Bible and in the one-volume commentary were very similar, if not the exact thing. The commentary, however, is a much larger size - so it is easier on the eyes. 3. MacArthur also has a separate book which contains introductions of the 66 books of the Bible also found in the Study Bible.

@@sesamesprinkles Yes, the commentary does have the same notes as the study Bible. Did you really think he would write a whole commentary otherwise? However, yes, the commentary DOES have extra notes and charts. The print in the commentary is larger than the study Bible, so if one has trouble reading the study Bible they can go to the commentary and read that. Also, in the commentary at the end of each book is a list of further recommended reading. To me, if MacArthur recommends a book I know it will be Biblically sound.

@ClaimingChristianity Жыл бұрын

It’s really a personal preference of both the buyer and the producer. No real reason some don’t like red cause it effects their eyes. Some don’t like it cause it feels like those words are more important when they’re not. Some like it cause they stand out. Humble lamb does them in Blue…which I personally love. But it’s all personal preference.
