How to use a Study Bible the Best Way
Study Bibles, if they are ESV study Bibles or NLT, CSB, NIV study Bibles. they all can be used ineffectively, or they can be great resources in helping you to be better at studying the Bible and help you read the Bible for yourself. How you use a study bible is super important and how you use the footnotes, articles, and definitions in your own reading of the Bible will determine how well those resources will help you. I have a few study bibles I recommend you to check out. the links for them are below. I love the ESV study Bible and have seen some great NIV ones and others.
