Must buy
If you are a student of scripture who is firmly rooted in Christ then only buy this. Not for novice or beginners. For such I recommend Scofield amplified or Thompson chain reference Bible.

It doesn't just have a nice chronological explanation
I just got this today so haven't started reading it yet but I am really looking forward to getting stuck into all the rich historical narrative and context that clearly runs through the entire Book. I bought this not realising that when it says Chronological it means it! You will find that all the Old Testament and even the New Testament books and epistles all run into and out of each other so that passages from Luke for example will run alongside those of Matthew and Mark that address the same time periods. Do not buy this if you are looking for a Bible to be set out in its traditional form of different books and epistles. It doesn't just have a nice chronological explanation. Rather, they have pedantically but wonderfully re-arranged the entire thing! And by 'they' I mean the amazing academics who did this. This Bible arranges everything into 9 'Epochs', beginning with Epoch 1 - 'Before the Patriarchs (Creation-2000BC) and the Beginnings of Human Civilisation' to the very end with Epoch 9 - 'The Church Age (AD 30-100), The Gospel to the Jews, Gospel to the Gentiles, Gospel from Jerusalem to Rome and Apocalyptic Writings and the End Time, with of course everything in between the 1st and 9th Epochs.It is beautifully illustrated and arranged in old historical but attractive style and has great colour maps, time charts and panels to accompany and compliment each 'Epoch'.I would recommend this to anyone who is intellectual and who wants to perhaps challenge themselves to rearrange and consolidate their understanding of Biblical history and narrative. I would not recommend this to anyone who just wants a copy of the NKJV with study guide.Of course, the fact that God's Bible has been re-arranged in this way may actually upset and trouble some people but it's not changed the Truth of his Word in anyway that the order is different. It's a fresh and challenging perspective for those well-grounded in the foundation of Biblical theology and understanding. It would also make a nice gift for a mature Christian.

Was not satisfied by the information in the Study Bible
Was not satisfied by the information in the Study Bible. The Chronological order wasn't something that would be beneficial as it was 90% similar to the Normal Bibles and their orders. Sorry that this sounds harsh but the most impressive thing about the Bible was the pictures and the first discovered items with their timescales but other then that I've seen better study bibles. If you are into depth study then this won't do justice. Mark my words

Top quality, beautiful to hold and so informative.
I collect bibles including study bibles and this is equal best with regards to biblical and extrabiblical events but where it does outshine the other study bibles is that it's packed with non biblical historical events of what was going on in the areas at the time. I can't believe how much information is in there. It's absolutely beautiful. You won't regret buying it.

Brilliant!
Packed with interesting and relevant information about background history, culture, and timelines incorporating events and developments happening elswhere in the world. Font size is excellent, very readable. I am very, very happy with this Bible and would highly recommend it. The soft leatherlike cover is lovely, it has a complementary gold coloured ribbon marker, and the pages are beautifully designed and printed. This stunning Bible is really very well put together and perfect for both personal use or/and as a gift. Puts the other Bibles I have in the shade! It arrived within date, brand new, boxed, in perfect condition. Amazon always provide quality products, and this is no exception. Well worth the money.
