Book Reviews of The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version
Book Review: A very liberal and PC study Bible
Summary: 1 Stars
The Bible commentaries are written from a decidedly liberal theological perspective. It is obvious that the authors believe the Bible is just a product of ancient myths and storytelling. They disbelieve miracles and explain away prophecy by assigning late dates for the books. Their notes are not balanced and does not really present opposing points of view or evidence to the contrary. More a work of anti-Christian / anti-Jewish propaganda than a balanced, scholarly work. Also, while it is not a bad translation, the NRSV does have some gender-neutrality inserted into it. All in all, I cannot recommend this study Bible. It reads like skeptics and non-believers wrote it. Instead, I would recommend the NIV Study Bible or NKJV Study Bible.
