NKJV Complete Evidence Study Bible

The Evidence Bible has actually been around for a while in the form of the "Comfort-able KJV" edition where Ray Comfort actually did some editing to make the KJV a bit more readable. The original Evidence Bible has returned published by the same publishers, Bridge Logos Foundation, but now in the NKJV text. This is good as it allows for a true translation rather than Ray's personal update of the KJV (not that he did a bad job). While I personally would prefer The Evidence Bible to be in the ESV rather than the NKJV, I am okay with the translation.The Evidence Bible itself is very useful. It follows the witnessing pattern that The Way of the Master has become famous for and that is to lead sinners to see their sinfulness before a holy and just God through the Law of God found in Exodus 20:1-17. This is the example that Jesus gave us in Mark 10:17-21; John 4:7 and also that Paul gave in Romans 2:21-24. In Acts 24:25 we find Paul again preaching the Law before Felix. In Romans 7:7 Paul says that it is through the knowledge of the Law that we know what sin is and in 1 Timothy 1:8-11 Paul tells us that the Law is good if used to convict sinners. Romans 3:19-20 says that the Law of God shuts sinners mouths before Him so that they are guilty. The Law never saves but points to the Savior (Galatians 3:24 NKJV).The pros of this Bible are 1) it is very helpful in evangelism. A Christian can study this Bible to find evidences for the faith say against evolution and also helps to spur us on to witness for Jesus (Acts 1:8). 2) It is helpful in helping us with a Christian worldview. Ray Comfort has compiled numerous quotes on many ethical issues in this Bible which help the disciple have a strong biblical worldview on various subjects including evolution, marriage, etc. 3) Any disciple can use this Bible from an Arminian to a Calvinist. While Comfort favors an unlimited atonement (for example at Ray's note on John 7:37 he writes, "Salvation is possible for every person. See Acts 2:21." That seems clear to me.), Comfort avoids the election debate at passages such as Romans 9:18. 4) I also enjoyed the quotes that Comfort has placed all through the Bible about topics such as evangelism, prayer, holiness, etc. They are simple but powerful quotes.The negatives of this Bible would be 1) if you reject a literal 6 day creation then you'll probably not like The Evidence Bible. Comfort strongly supports (as do I) a six day, 24 hour creation view. If you reject Genesis 1-2 as literal history, you will not enjoy this Bible. 2) If you never share your faith with others, you'll not enjoy this Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, this Bible calls you to be bold in sharing your faith. Jesus went to the cross for our sins and yet you can't even tell others about His grace? If you are a lazy Christian, you'll not like this Bible. 3) If you don't pray you will want to avoid this Bible. 4) If you reject the inerrancy of the Bible you will want to avoid this Bible. 5) If you believe that there are more than one ways to God outside of personal faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-17), you will want to avoid this Bible. 6) Lastly, I don't favor the words of Christ in red and this edition does have them in red but its not a big deal.ConclusionThis is a very helpful Bible to use when sharing your faith or preparing to share your faith. Brother Ray Comfort is a solid man of God and his wisdom in evangelism shows in this Bible. I do recommend it.

Yes, the Bible is a book. And even more so with the Evidence Bible because every page contains enlightening, fortifying information and commentary that on its own is enough to compose a second book. God tells us that it is immeasurably important to submerge ourselves in His Word every single day. I find that challenging, and my sporadic consumption of His Word has been a barrier to my spiritual growth. Notwithstanding, I am and always have been an avid reader - I just sometimes find myself feeling a little lost and easily distracted when reading my Bible. The enemy at work in my mind? This NKJV Evidence Bible guides me along, enriching not just the text but my journey as a Christian. It’s like reading the Bible and a really good book about the Bible and the Christian life all in one. Whereas the footnotes of so many other study Bibles are about geography, different phrasings of a word, etc., THESE footnotes are straightforward reference and ministry, both. There is A TON of content as you can see from my photos. It’s like visiting a beautiful new place, with the friendliest, most knowledgeable tour guide who will make sure you don’t miss a thing. I thank Jesus for Ray Comfort and the obvious love and care he took with this. Side note: a PERFECT Bible for children and teens as well. God bless!

Live this Bible. Ray Comforts notes are helpful.

The media could not be loaded. So I bought it to learn Bible from different, scientific perspective cause I wanted to be able to communicate my faith with people who only rely on science and I must say it does have so many all kinds of explanations and quotes. Very good to study it at home, by yourself or with family or even in small groups to get deeper into the topic. It does answer a lot of questions non believers may have.

This Bible is the best thing I’ve done for myself in ages. I have to make extra time for my Bible study because the commentary is so gripping, so well-explained, and so challenging. I find myself following prompts to other sections, journaling what I find, and praying that I will be bolder in my sharing of the Gospel. If you want to grow in all areas of your faith - including the tough ones! - this Bible is for you.In addition to your own growth you will learn Biblical truth in all of the areas where people struggle to believe, and so will equip yourself to provide answers when these questions arise. So good.

This is an interesting book looking for every proof of the events in the bible. It is an interesting resource and a great place to begin.

Really love this Bible.

If you're looking for a good study Bible this is the Bible you want to get. In the footnotes it will help you to present the Bible to others. It's an amazing Bible. I highly recommend it. This Bible is leather. Simply beautiful.
