Jesus used his final Passover meal to show that his sacrificial death would give new meaning to the festival (Mark 14:17‑31). In John, the cross became an altar where Christ, the Passover lamb, was slain. Jesus’ legs were not broken (John 19:33), fulfilling a Passover rule (19:36; Exod 12:46). Blood ran freely from his wound (John 19:34), showing that his life was being exchanged for others. Just as a lamb died to save the lives of Jewish families at the Passover in Egypt, so, too, the death of the Son of God on the cross serves to bring salvation to the world.

If you can't tell, I absolutely love this Bible. It brought the characters to life for my sons, in the pictures of some of their favorite people like David and Goliath, or Daniel in the Lion's Den. It shows examples and explains the animals and plants, musical instruments, texts and artifacts, and history of different time periods. This is not only important to me as a homeschool Mom, but also as a Christian wife and mother. It opened my eyes to how the Bible and the stories connect throughout history, and how it is so relevant to us even more today. I would highly recommend this Bible if you are looking for a way to study or understand the scriptures. It would also make an exceptional gift to someone who may be trying to grasp these studies as well. Inspire Bibles are single-column, wide-margin Bibles designed for creative engagement with God’s Word.

In Acts, the growth, development, and expansion of the church took place entirely under the guidance and power of the Spirit (e.g., 2:4, 41‑47; 4:31; 5:32; 8:15, 17, 29; 9:31). Because of the prominence of the Spirit’s work in Acts, the book has often been called “the Acts of the Holy Spirit.” This is SO helpful, especially when considering which interpretative techniques to use with each passage.

I am not suggesting that the people responsible for the NLT Study Bible/Illustrated Study Bible are narrow-minded or even necessarily Fundamentalists. But the commentary does reflect a more-or-less Fundamentalist approach to biblical interpretation. Some will find this comforting. I find it a slight disappointment because study Bibles are the most common Bible reference tool used today, so they are an opportunity for the scholars involved in producing them to teach the multitudes responsible and healthy biblical interpretation. I just feel that in some ways the NLT Study Bible is a missed opportunity. Taken from the Illustrated Study Bible “I walked by the field of a lazy person, the vineyard of one with no common sense. I saw that it was overgrown with nettles. It was covered with weeds and its walls were broken down. Then, as I looked and thought about it, I learned this lesson: A […] Additionally, the NLT Illustrated Study Bible includes an impressive collection of end matter consisting of a series of indexes for these notes, as well as the more typical concordance and color maps. These indexes make it easy to find comments or feature articles based on subject. The end result is that this study Bible is actually usable like a Bible dictionary. This functionality is not a foregone conclusion with study Bibles. In fact, of the basic Bible study tool belt, Bible dictionaries are often the part that is not really represented (or is represented very poorly) in typical study Bibles. That the NLT Study Bible/Illustrated Study Bible functions in this way so well really sets it apart from the average study Bible.

Other reviewers have mentioned the binding, but I've seen no issues there, but I am very careful with my Bibles, so all I can say there is it was glued correctly when I got it.

Cornerstone Biblical Commentary is a great way to help a new pastor or ministry leader build a trusted library. Comprised of 12 volumes for the Old Testament and 8 for the New Testament, this set will equip pastors and Christian leaders with exegetical and theological knowledge to better understand and apply God’s Word by presenting the message of each passage as well as an overview of other issues surrounding the text. Yet beside this humble lowliness is a message of unspeakable power and grandeur. The child who is laid in a manger is the Messiah, the long-awaited descendant of King David. He will reign triumphant over the people of Israel and his kingdom will never end. He is the one spoken about by all the prophets. All of history has been pointing forward to its climax in him. An army of mighty angels comes from heaven to announce his birth. The Life Application Study Bible takes readers beyond knowing the Bible to living it out.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this beautiful Bible through Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.This Bible is filled with gorgeous full-color spreads that transport you to the very place you’re studying about. These contrasts are a foretaste of things to come. In Jesus, the God of Israel and Lord of all the earth has come to visit and to save his people. The Divine One reaches down to meet them where they are. Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus will show special concern for the lowly, the poor, the outcast, and sinners. These are the ones he has come to Jesus’ birth took place in unusual circumstances, when Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem to register for an official Roman census. The child was born in a stable because no other lodging was available (Luke 2:1‑7). Some time later, Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt to save the child from Herod’s massacre of young boys in the Bethlehem area (Matt 2:13‑18). When they returned, they resettled in Nazareth to raise their family (Matt 2:19‑23). After Jesus’ birth, Mary apparently gave birth to several other sons and daughters (Matt 13:55‑56; Mark 6:3). It is likely that Mary herself told Luke the details of Jesus’ birth and the unusual events associated with it (Luke 2:51).
