A friend blessed me with this Bible. I've enjoyed reading the extra resources in this Bible. (Please continue to pray for my husband's healing.) Thanks!😊

Thank you for your honest review. As a single woman, I'm always wary of Bibles and books aimed at women because they lean heavily on marriage and children. While I understand that these are issues for many women, they aren't for me. I want to see more actual Bible study rather than that. I'm excited to get my hands on this Bible because it seems to be more scholarly than devotional. And the NLT is the translation I go for most often so I'm also happy about that.

So... this might not be a good thing or what you intended when you did this review, but I appreciate your honesty! So I pre ordered the bible based on the fact that Dr. Imes had done the notes on Genesis and Exodus and I was very excited about it, however after listening to your very good and honest review I decided to cancel my order. I am not a fan of the NLT to start with and the lack of commentary in the book of Revelation made me decide on the fact that I probably did not need this particular study bible. Having said that if any publishers are reading this.. I have bought way too many books based of JM's recommendations and he has been spot on every time. However let me say this, 4 years ago, I would have loved to have this particular study bible, I have been meandering through dark complementarian alleys trying to figure out the role of women in the Church. Thank you so much for the honest review.

Great review. Thank you. I’ve just ordered this. I’m a new Christian and doing a bible study with the ESV but I’m really looking for a bible that “speaks” to me. I don’t care for devotions and I like the setup of this one. I have so many bibles I’m hoping this is the one.

While I prefer the NIV version, I did order this (just now) based on this review. I'm 57 and a newer Christian. Frequently your commentary is way over my head, however, I've watched you long enough to know that your reviews will be honest. I appreciate that, Thank you.

Great review. I'm super excited about this. FINALLY an egalitarian study Bible and global female contributors-- for conservative believers.So awesome. I do agree don't waste pages on fluff or pre-highlighted verses. I definitely would have preferred more notes. But you could feel good about handing this to a teen, a new believer, or a non- studious person that you don't want to overwhelm or intimidate. Face it, these days us hard- core Bible nerds or scholars are not really lacking in resources (or all the Bible versions and the original languages) --right from our phone.

Also, yes, it needs to be in other versions...BUT then it might not be Filament connected. The one thing I would have changed about your excellent and thorough review is to keep mentioning Filament later on, so that people are reminded that they are getting more notes and study helps than what is printed in the Bible. But Tyndale really need to beef up the filament notes as well. There is a note on Laodicea in Filament and it's OK, but not long enough to do it justice, especially in light of the fact that we all have heard the wrong view of "cold" many times. Since it's digital anyway, they can add more thorough notes to Filament, and they really should work on that.

Go Tyndale! They consistently have superior notes for the average person...pro-women and pro-intimate relationship with a Loving God, open to the Holy Spirit. Also, always the most popping full color aesthetic for those who love that.

Also I just have to push back a little on you being too soft on hard complementarianism. Sure, don't say stupid things like they all aren't real Christians or whatever. But if you had to spend all day every day trying to put women back together whose life or faith were destroyed by complementarian teaching or attitudes, including women who were severely abused, or who specifically saw abuse get worse after their dad or husband read a famous best-selling Christian complementarian marriage resource or parenting book or heard a teaching...well, you would be pretty passionate about it too, and be pushing back pretty hard. 25% of women have been abused, brother. Including in the church by "Christian" men. We aren't talking about something rare here. The women who stay in the faith aren't bitter or man-haters. But we are fed-up, and saying with the holocaust survivors "Never again." There are 100 million women missing from the world population because of femicide. Women in America are more likely to be killed by their significant other than almost any other cause of death. Complementarianism kills. We can't take it lightly or treat it like an alternative view of the Nephilim. Ideas have consequences.

But keep up the good work!🥰 I will be heavily sharing this video!

First timer here and I appreciate your review. Thank you for sharing in such detail.

Thank you for this great review. I just received my pre-order of this bible. I decided to take a few notes on sticky notes using your words to show balance, etc. and placed them in the places you mentioned things! Thank you, sooo much!!

[djlclopez]

I joined the launch team and their daily videos have been beautiful! I am very excited!

[carolynparral]

Good review ... I am going to get this bible ... !!! Most bibles aimed toward women have a bunch of fluff less meat and potatoes . This will be my first bible for women that I will purchase ...

[lindacantwell]

Yours is the best review I've seen on this particular Bible. I think I'll wait and see if they decide to publish it in NIV or NASB or ESV.

[SusanMillard]

Thank you for your insightful commentary on this study bible. I have marked it on my Amazon wish list as it is not released yet. I think I will be saving my money towards getting this study bible and I agree with you about other translations being helpful. I have not read NLT yet...I usually favour the NIV. I have hit subscribe and all notifications and look forward to watching some of your other videos as time permits. Well done, sir, thank you again.

[ftedbme]

Thank you for this, as a Bible College student I am happy to see the female scholar contributions to this Bible, I will have to hold out until it gets released in another translation.

[robinkirk]

I just got this Bible and really appreciate your review! I bought this before knowing it was egalitarian. I’ve always been complementarian. It will not be a deal breaker for me because I want to learn and be teachable. It’s so rare, at least for me, to hear from men that agree with the egalitarian view. This is the first video I’ve watched of yours. I am a new subscriber now. Would you be able to recommend a resource for learning about the egalitarian position more?

[krsteph]

Thank you!! This is the best review of this bible I have seen. Just ordered it. I look forward to watching more of your content.

[Emilae]

That looks ridiculously pretty! That and your review is making me buy it the moment it comes out.

[cass]

An exhaustive review. I have this Bible and I have been enjoying it! Thank you for your review. It helped introduce me to a few things that I haven’t used in it yet.

[Ninerfansbible]

I appreciate your review. This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on this Bible. 😊 time for me to preorder my mothers day gift 😅

[tarakane]

Thank you for the thorough review of this Bible. It's the most beneficial one I've seen yet.

[sheilajohnson]

Excellent review. I have this bible on its way to me now. I was in the market for an NLT version, filament enabled….but with all these extra features was a total win.
Agree, I do not like all the fluffy devotional, but am highly pleased there are women voices to share that viewpoint.
Thank you for suggesting that men should get this to prep for classes and sermons.
