The New Inductive Study Bible (ESV)

An excellent resource!

When I first heard about inductive study methods, it was explained as marking up the keywords in different colors. Well, that really didn't appeal to me because I thought...what is the point?? Fast forward several years later and getting tired of reading through the Bible while my brain wanders to what grocery items I need or my to do list after I finish reading, etc. I knew I needed a different approach to almost force my brain to focus more intentionally on what I was reading. I decided to do some research on inductive study methods then I ordered this Bible to try it out. Well, I am so glad I did because it is much more than colored pens and pencils. It is intentional focused reading and re-reading to mark words, chew on the concepts, write summary information and important information, and then more chewing so to speak. I started with Colossians 2 days ago and have read the entire book at least 5 times during all the marking, chewing, writing, etc. I'm retaining information like I had not in the past. I'm seeing deeper into the Word...if that makes sense to anyone. Suffice it to say, I wish I started this years ago! As for the actual set-up of this Bible, the margins are larger than standard and the font is larger than standard as well. The pages are slightly thicker than the usual and I have found that colored pencils and ball-point pens work the best for minimal see through on the back side.

I love the instructions at the beginning of each book of the Bible to tell you how to mark each chapter and questions to answer. At the end of each book, there is a space to record a lot of your findings. There is also room in the margins to record notes.

It’s beautiful…inside and out? Generous large print of the text and great aids inside. I like the inductive approach and have adapted it for my personal study. Some of the helpful forms have very small print, which I struggle with, but overall it’s a great tool and wonderful Bible.

This Bible is fantastic. I love ESV, so easy to read and gives a little more insight on some verses than NIV, although NIV is great for beginners or those with English as 2nd language. The difference in manuscripts is noted throughout and there is cross-reference column on every page.

I love this Bible!

I just do not appreciate the version I got as it does not capitalize the 'H' for He, when referencing to God. It was a little confusing reading 1st Kings .

I'm new to the inductive Bible study method and chose this Bible to use. However, any Bible can be used for the inductive method. I use Crayola-colored erasable pencils and, at times, Frixion erasable pens. I'm blown away by how much more I'm enjoying the Bible and by how much I'm remembering. The blank columns are perfect for journaling, and I use these sections to write a short synopsis of the significant points in the chapter. At the end of each book is a chart for the themes of the chapters. The Inductive study method really pulls it all together. I started with the book of Ester and have found much more enjoyment than merely reading the Bible. I look forward to reading and studying the word of God due to the inductive method. It slows your brain down and makes the story come to life. If you've been thinking about this Bible, don't wait.

It’s wonderful bible, I never thought that, this much easier to meditate the word of God

Absolutely love this bible .......... It comes with guidance on the inductive study method. This isn't your average study bible that is filled with notes ........ It's a bible for you to use to study and record what you think via the guided study instructions for each book. I'm using as my everyday compendium of the best bits of notes and teaching ........ Fantastic

Came a bit delayed, but the Bible is great. Single Column, cross references on the inside and wide margins on the outside for notes, Inductive study guide in the front, plenty of maps, an overview of relevant history, an extensive Concordance, every book starts with a section of Question to help dig deep into scripture, and at the end of the book is an "at a glance" table to fill out, for easy reference of different themes of that book. I'm really excited to start digging into it, and go for it with marking and journaling.

私はなるべくは深く聖書を勉強したかったのです。その時牧師先生がこれを薦めてくれました。自分で色々書きながら意味を理解していくのでとても良かったです。

Everyone in my house uses the Inductive Study Bible We have it in both NASB and ESV. I love, love, love it! I tried to go to another Bible over the summer and came right back. Not having the breaks in the chapters... fantastic...could never go back. It really helps you stay in context. I've tried a Readers Bible before but don't like having no verse numbers and never being able to figure out where something is. This is the best of both worlds. Lots of great maps and charts but no thoughts of other people doing the interpretation for you.
