THE CEB STUDY BIBLE BROWN BONDED LEATHER - 9781609260279

The CEB Study Bible is a study Bible in the Common English Bible translation, set in a single column and printed in full color. Its book introductions, outlines, and notes are written by professors of biblical studies. Rather than telling readers what to believe, the notes explain what each book meant to its earliest readers and what it means today, supported by more than 200 illustrations, photographs, maps, and charts and more than 300 sidebar and general articles. Bound in brown bonded leather, it is suited to students, teachers, Bible study groups, and anyone who wants scholarly background on the Bible in clear, modern English.

The notes give historical and cultural context so readers can weigh the meaning of a passage for themselves. The cross-reference system runs to hundreds of thousands of references, making it easy to follow a theme or phrase across books. The 21 full-color maps were designed by National Geographic and are fully indexed, and the sidebar and general articles are indexed as well. A concordance and a ribbon marker are included. At 2,240 pages, about 4 pounds, and 9-point type, it's a desk study Bible for home, classroom, or group use.

Use & care: Suited to in-depth personal study, class preparation, and group Bible study at a desk or table. Wipe the bonded leather cover with a soft, dry cloth, support the spine when opening this heavy volume, and keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.
