Concordance– this lists certain words throughout different places in the Bible; for example, a list of verses where the word “love” is found

In other words, instead of simply translating the words as they were originally written, an attempt is made to interpret the meaning of the original words and then let that interpretation guide the translation. Personally, I believe this is an inferior and unhelpful method of translation because it has the potential to introduce interpretationinto the translation.

Reading Plans– some study Bibles include reading plans for you to follow each day, whether it’s through the entire Bible, or specific to the OT and NT Personally, I believe the best study Bible will have study notes written by a variety of scholars. This allows you to get a variety of perspectives on a variety of texts. If all the notes are written by a single person, you’re only getting their interpretation of all the passages. This can get especially dicey if you’re getting into more difficult texts, like in the Book of Revelation. How will you use your study Bible? Are you interested in learning more about the Bible’s historical context or nuances of the biblical languages? Do you want to dive deep into theology? Be able to cross-reference people, places, and topics? Or have a Bible designed to help you apply its teachings to your everyday life? When I was a new mom I loved reading the reflections and devotions in my Bible. Those little notes of encouragement and support. Other times I valued knowing more about Jesus’ culture and traditions. As we change, we are strengthened by different features our study Bibles have to offer.
