Warren Wiersbe served as the General Editor for this edition. He might be best known for his "Be Series"of Bible commentaries. He has taken some of his ideas and incorporated them into this study Bible using The New King James Version.
This is a desktop-sized Bible. It is designed to lay flat as you open it.
The print is larger than normal so it is very easy on the eyes. Words of Jesus are in red.
Inside you will find Wiersbe's introduction to each book. He provides a basic outline with key themes and verses for you to focus in on. He offers practical lessons in his book overviews.
As a study Bible, this version is full of notes: Catalysts are longer than your typical study notes and they are meant to motivate you to be transformed by what you're reading. The study notes run in at about 10,000 from Dr. Wiersbe explaining meaning and application.
You'll also find your cross referencing and concordance, which is nice.
Finally, in addition to the common maps section at the end, you'll find an index of preaching outlines.
This was interesting and confusing for me. I read outlines and thought I would be reading Wiersbe's point-by-point sermon outlines. But it looks like it's simply the sermon title with the section of Scripture to be used. It is still interesting to see how he organized a preaching schedule.
This is a terrific Bible to read in study. I have a number of different versions so this is going on the shelf along with the others and will be used as one more point of view.
This Bible was provided for review, at no cost, by Thomas Nelson Publishing.
