Two books I've read recently have greatly influenced me and have been a source of conviction: The Treasure Principle (stewardship) and The Purity...
In answer to the question posed, the problem I have with the NIV is a general one, that it just seems to be a bit too interpretive for my taste....
My understanding is that Lockman, which historically has been difficult for outside publishers to deal with, loosened up somewhat a few years ago,...
In answer to the original question, I would probably choose the NASB (Update), for the following reasons: (1) It is slightly more accurate, and:...
Thompson Chain Reference is an excellent study Bible. I really like it because it doesn't provide a commentary; rather, it uses its reference...
Does it contain the Apocrypha? I had read somewhere (don't remember where, perhaps on the esvbible.org website Q&A page) that an Anglicized...
Same here, the NIV is the (more or less) official version in our church. BTW, I was moseying around yesterday through a couple of Christian...

My personal favorite is the New Bible Commentary, revised by IVP in the mid 90's. Along with the New Bible Dictionary, I find these hard to beat...
Just a layman's opinion, but my personal favorite study Bible is the Thompson Chain Reference, because it does not rely on annotations, but...
