NASB HARDCOVER STUDY BIBLE - 9798384506706

The NASB Study Bible is a full-color study Bible in the New American Standard Bible (2020 Edition), a formal-equivalence translation that renders the original languages word for word as often as possible. It uses the Holman study system: more than 16,000 study notes, word studies, articles, and other tools placed on the same page as the passages they explain, along with photographs, maps, timelines, and illustrations. Bound in hardcover, it is suited to readers who want a literal translation for close study and teaching, from students and Bible study leaders to pastors and teachers.

The study material is extensive and visual. It includes 368 word studies, 114 photographs, 60 timelines, 55 maps, 42 paintings, 34 articles, 24 illustrations and reconstructions, and 19 charts. Each book opens with an introduction, an outline, and its own timeline. The text is set in two columns of 9.5-point red-letter type with topical headings, and a center-column cross-reference system links related passages. The Smyth-sewn binding lies flat for study at a desk, and a concordance, a ribbon marker, and a presentation page are included. At 2,200 pages and about 3¾ pounds, it's a full-size study Bible for home, classroom, or ministry use.

Use & care: Suited to in-depth personal study, sermon and lesson preparation, and Bible study groups, with the lay-flat binding keeping the book open on a desk. Store the hardcover upright on a shelf, away from moisture and direct sunlight, which can fade full-color pages and covers.
