My review:
I wasn’t expecting much. At all. Usually “women’s” bibles are low on meat and high on fluff and … coloring. Always lots of coloring pages.
This is definitely an exception. But before I dive into the “meat”, Let me just say that this bible is downright pretty and feminine. Fjallraven Kanken Classic Sale And it’s intentionally so. The mint and sand hardback cover is very nice and I don’t want to take off the dust jacket because it’s just so lovely. nike air max 2015 The leather touch bible is even more gorgeous (but also more expensive!)
Anyway, feminine it is and when I say it’s intentional, it’s because this bible is unashamed in it’s biblical stand on women and their roles. It’s beautiful. nike air max pas cher This bible highlights women of note throughout the text and maintains a complementarian focus while still valuing women as fierce students of God’s Word.

And look – each summary page of each book of the bible has a bottom border with a timeline. What a fabulous addition to a bible!
(Can you tell I really like this?)
There are callout sections with short paragraphs explaining certain doctrines as well as highlighting women of the text. Comprar mochilas kanken And another bottom border highlight is a small Word Study section.
The little touches of this bible are well thought out and helpful to individual and group study. nike femme I also like how the maps aren’t just thrown into the back pages but scattered throughout the bible where they might aid that particular section of the bible:
Before the actual text of the bible there are a couple of essays by the editors, one of which is on how to study the bible: which encourages verse by verse exegesis, the importance of studying the WHOLE bible (not just the New Testament), and even rules for hermeneutics. Good stuff!
So yep, get this bible if you’re ready for a new one!
