The CEB Study Bible gives the reader the tools, illustrations and explanations necessary for making informed decisions about the meaning of the Bible. This Common English Bible translation is reliable, readable and relevant, with hundreds of thousands of cross references. It includes more than 1000 additional pages of detailed book introductions, outlines and notes from biblical studies professors and more than 300 indexed sidebar and general articles plus a select concordance. The 21 full-color maps were designed by National Geographic and are fully indexed. The notes in this study Bible won't suggest what to believe, but provides the context for what the Bible meant both to its earliest readers as well as its current relevance for encouragement, challenge, guidance, reflection and prayer.

Reader: I own a LOT of different Bible translations. And I do mean a lot. In fact I have an entire shelf of them. (My flatmate in Uni was a religious studies major, and we used to consult our bookshelf of Bibles to see how the different translations stacked up. Then we compared it to similar passages in other religious texts. Yes, we were geeks.) So I'm always interested in checking out translations that I don't already have.a copy of. The CEB is adequate. It's not the best translation I've ever read, but it's not the worst either. I appreciated the fact that it was worked on by more than just Christian academics. The study guide information was good. I may pick up a copy of the full book for myself.
