 *NOTE**: I have a good number of “Study Bibles” with Biblical Articles and
Resources. However, these 250 pages at the end of the “Evangelical Standard
Version (ESV) Study Bible”, Published by Crossway - appears to me superior
to the others I have read.*


 *I would like to recommend particularly under - II. BIBLICAL DOCTRINE: AN
OVERVIEW, p. 2505, B. “The Bible and Revelation.” - Excellent. Liberals, and
Evangelicals departing from the Word Integrity position, would count it as
“Old Order” - i.e. it puts the Bible as the final court of appeal for
allarguments.
This is my position also, and I welcome the title of “Old Order”. This was
the position of Charles H. Spurgeon, and many others.*


 *Also under III. BIBLICAL ETHICS: AN OVERVIEW, p. 2535*

*G. Homosexuality. This is a clear, necessary - but gracious presentation.*


 *This Study Bible was presented to me as a gift by a friend in 2011. It is
only recently that I have had opportunity to look into these Notes. I have
made a good beginning in this invigorating and pleasant task. *


 *Evangelicalism is at a Crossroad - and all members would do well to have
a copy of this Study Bible in each family. To read these notes, study them,
and then discuss them together as a family - or in a small home-meeting
context - would do much to place us in safe moorings, well-pleasing to God.*


 *For those without the advantage of a Bible College or Seminary education
- this would do much to restore this lack.*
