Oh, I never made it to the Christian bookstore but I bought a KJ study bible( Thomas Nelson). I couldn't get past the first vs in Matthew. I read the vs , then the cross references, checked out the superior letters, superior number and the annotations. Tired by then. I stopped and just read the chapter and came back and looked at the study guide all together. One vs at a x wasn't cutting it. I know now how the preacher can do an entire sermon on one verse:') Interesting Greek and Hebrew stuff though.

That's a good one, it was my 4th choice after Companion, Scofield and the McArthur study bibles.

Oh for sure. I know why it's called "bible study" now. :-)

My first bible was a Thompson-Chain Reference bible, KJV of course ;^), with no footnotes. My second bible was an Old Scofield with notes. I found that the notes kept distracting me so I ended up going back to my Thompson.
