ESV, MacArthur Study Bible, 2nd Edition, Leathersoft, Brown: Unleashing God's Truth One Verse at a Time

I own several MacArthur study bibles and they never fail to impress me. He was one of the best modern scholars in the world and his wealth of knowledge shows in these study bibles. From the very beginning he offers short lectures on how the Bible came to be, why we should read it, how to study it and then we dive in and his teachings are nothing short of fascinating and inspiring. Now, these bibles are of course big and heavy, it’s not a church bible by all means. But perfect for your personal studies at home or for a Bible study group. His notes are the perfect guidance to aid you becoming richer in your understanding of the scripture and the Gospels. The pages are vibrant and the text is easy to read, including the notes, however some might need magnification. Again they are large and a bit heavy just so you know. However they contain a wealth of knowledge that few other study bibles offer. I wholeheartedly recommend this or any of the MacArthur study bibles. For yourself, for a gift, for anyone who wants to go deeper on Gods word. The price is right and well worth it.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the MacArthur Study Bible, 2nd Edition in soft leather. From the moment I opened it, I could feel the quality—the soft, supple leather cover is elegant yet durable, and it feels wonderful in the hands. The craftsmanship is excellent, making it a Bible I know will last for years. The content is truly where this Bible shines. John MacArthur’s study notes are incredibly thorough, rooted in sound doctrine, and provide rich historical and theological context. The introductions to each book, cross-references, and maps have deepened my understanding of Scripture in ways I didn’t expect. This isn’t just a Bible for casual reading—it’s designed for believers who want to grow in knowledge and truth. I also appreciate the clarity of the layout. The font is readable, the notes are organized well, and there’s enough margin space for light note-taking. Whether you’re a pastor, student, or someone who simply wants to dig deeper into God’s Word, this Bible is an invaluable tool.

I bought this one to give to a friend who is finally turning to Jesus! I already had a MacArthur ESV study Bible as it was recommended to me by my pastor. This Bible has in-depth introductions to every chapter and a many pages there’s more commentary than there is text of the Bible. This is a great tool to help you study the word of God and to give you better understanding it might not be the Bible you want to carry to church on Sunday because it is large and heavy.

This Bible is absolutely beautiful. The commentary is so in depth, literally covering more verses of the Bible than any I’ve owned or seen before and John MacArthur’s wisdom throughout is so enriching and edifying. Well - it’s such a great translation and commentary that my husband purchased one for himself after seeing mine and the vast difference between the one he had and this one. LOVE this Bible and how it goes so in-depth teaching us more and more about The Word of God! I wish I could give it 10 stars.

Love this Bible. Great as a study tool. Perfect for anyone starting their walk with Jesus. Well constructed. A great value. Second one I’ve ordered. Great gift idea.

This is a good study bible. It gives a lot of information

I absolutely love this Bible. It is a great study tool, print size is perfect, and version is great!

Exactly what I wanted. Very beautiful book. That’s not too large, with all the extra explanations and added bonuses that I was looking for. Very happy!

Excelente!

Beautiful bible!!

The MacArthur Study Bible is a treasure for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Scripture. With thorough commentary from Dr. John MacArthur, it offers clear explanations, historical context, and practical insights. Its well-organized study notes and cross-references make it an invaluable resource. A solid choice for anyone serious about studying God’s Word. The hardcover, paper, and print quality are all amazing.

Amazing! Has made me more hungry for God’s word!

This is my second John MacArthur esv Bible and it's the only one I use for studying the Bible and bringing to church. The incredible amount of information in this is worth the price alone in my opinion. From almost verse by verse notes, to articles on doctrine to maps and a pretty decent concordance, this has it all. The print is easy to read and the paper holds up to underlining in pen without marking the other side. I don't use highlighters so I can't comment on bleedthrough. I think they could have done better on the cover, as it's not "leather soft" in my opinion but even with that it's well made and I highly recommend it.
