There are many study Bibles available and many of them are very good. I have a few that I like to recommend to people who are wanting to gain a better understanding of Scripture.

However, there is one study Bible that I find truly unique and especially valuable. It is the NET Bible. NET is short for New English Translation. This Bible is a joint effort of several Bible scholars who put together a translation of the Bible with the purpose of giving it away for free.

As part of their translation work, these scholars have also included over 60,000 translation notes to help the reader understand why they translated passages the way they did. There is a goldmine of information on the Hebrew and Greek behind the English translation as well as historical and cultural information. I fully encourage anyone who wants to dig a little deeper in their understanding of Scripture and Bible translation to look at this resource.

And best of all, it’s FREE!
