Best Study Bibles and Translations

“Here is His Book. Read it! It is the looking glass! Jesus is on the other side and He looks into this Book and if you look into it with well-washed eyes, you may see His reflected image in this glass darkly, however, at the best.”
-C.H. Spurgeon

“Scripture brought me to the gate of Paradise, and the mind, which is spiritual, stood in amazement and wonder as it entered, the intellect grew dizzy and weak as the senses were no longer able to contain its treasures—so magnificent they were—or to discern its savors and find any comparison for its colors, or take in its beauties so as to describe them in words.”
-St. Ephrem the Syrian

 

“The Word of God is obviously the most difficult writing men can read; but it is also, if you believe it is the Word of God, the most important to read. The effort of the faithful has been duly proportionate to the difficulty of the task. It would be true to say that, in the European tradition at least, the Bible is the book in more senses than one. It has been not only the most widely read, but also the most carefully read, book of all.”
–Mortimer Adler

“The Bible has outlasted kingdoms, many, many kingdoms. This book is more durable than stone, than castles, more durable than an empire.”
-Jordan Peterson
