Five Study Bibles - part 2 - How Much They Cost...

Yesterday, I mentioned five Study Bibles that I wish everyone at North owned.  You can read that post HERE.

If you were to buy them all at once, the best price is at www.amazon.com.  Buying all five will cost you $131.27 if you purchase them together.  But if you want to purchase them separately - you may want to use the websites listed below.

Here are the best prices we could find at various websites (clicking on the link will take you to the Bible at that specific website):

STUDY BIBLE #5: Archaeological Study Bible - $29.94 (includes shipping) www.bookschristian.com
 

STUDY BIBLE #4: MacArthur Study Bible - $29.69 (includes shipping) www.amazon.com
 

STUDY BIBLE #3: Life Application Bible - $22.12 (includes shipping) www.amazon.com
 

STUDY BIBLE #2: ESV Study Bible - $31.49 (free shipping) www.amazon.com

STUDY BIBLE #1: NIV Study Bible - $18.46 (includes shipping) www.buy.com

I hope this is helpful.  Anything I can do to get you to study the Bible is a win/win!!

Idea...What about purchasing Logos which has the Bibles altogether for those with limited space or who would like to have them a click away???

I’ve never used Logos. I’m one that still wants to hold the book in my hand. That means I’m old – doesn’t it?

I have used Laridian's MyBible on my Palm for nearly 12 years, incrementally buying Bible translations, commentaries, dictionaries, study Bibles. First of all, I concede that the user interface for print editions has many advantages:

I can take in and scan two facing pages. This is very nice compared to the "keyhole" view I get electronically.
The formatting is rich and colorful.
I can flip quickly between pages.
I can mark it up easily.
Uptime reliability. (Print editions rarely "crash" unless you drop them in a mud puddle or something.)

But here are some of the advantages I enjoy with the electronic editions:
Often cheaper. (The ESV Study Bible can be purchased - on sale - for $23.99 with no cost for shipping or sales tax.)
Convenient. Now matter how many versions of the Bible or commentaries or study Bibles I collect, they all fit in my pocket.
Backlighting means I can read in bed without bothering Karen ... much.
Searching ... nothing beats scanning my whole library for a topic electronically.

Of course, print versus electronic has the potential of becoming a divisive "religious" debate. :-) One mentor of mine (whose initials might be DW) once said that what I read electronically didn't count as REALLY reading the bible. He was joking. ... I think.
