Stephanos,

Just out of curiosity, what makes you want a "study" Bible?

Well here is one simple example.


1. Scofield Bible: Every Hebrew month, weight, coin, or measure has the English equivalent is in the margin. I do not want to go find some other book when I am reading the Bible to see what month it was when something happened.

Quote:
Jer. 36 22

Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
What is the English equivalent to the " ninth month " Well December is in a note when it says " ninth month " and this is handy information. I do not want to have to look something up every time I read something in the Bible in some other book. the list of examples is endless.


May I ask what makes not you want a "study" Bible? Do you not waste time looking up thing like this all of the time?
