The-Best-Amplified-Study-Bibles.jpg

The editors at Lord’s Library have compiled a short list of the best amplified study Bibles to consider.

Study Bibles are special editions of the Bible written specifically for students of the Bible. Study Bibles provide scholarly information designed to give the reader context and a more complete understanding of God’s Word. Scholarly information can come in several forms, from annotations that explain complex passages, articles and biographies of key characters, illustrations and other visuals, and more.

With this in mind, the editors at Lord’s Library have compiled this list of the best amplified study Bibles to consider. The one that is right for you will largely depend upon which features are most important. Each listing includes author and publisher information, some basic facts about the version, and links to any alternative versions that may be available.

Note: We only included the best amplified study Bibles with a 4-star or better rating and a minimum of 150 reviews. Titles are organized by popularity (the total number of reviews) at the time of our publication.
