I have an older Open Bible. I wish this one came in genuine leather also, the bonded leather is just like paper and I know it won't last as long.

I bought two copies of the Open Study Bible for my children. This was the first study bible I ever owned and it has really great study aids. The only real issue I have with the bible is the bonded leather cover which is... odd. It looks and feels artificial.
I specifically ordered bibles without thumb tabs but received two copies with indexed tabs. I was not charged the difference and being that these were Christmas gifts, I did not have time to try and straighten out the problem. Does anyone else have a problem with a "christian" book distributor jacking up the "retail" price just to make their own price seem like a real deal?

I give an A for all the info it has in it. I have the original Open Bible from the early 80"s and this is about the same. You can not buy another bible that has so much for the cost.

I am very disappointed there aren't more scripture "cross references" in column. I think this would greatly enhance the ability to use this as a true study Bible. As it is I need to keep a concordance handy for in depth studies.
The cyclopedic index is good, but not nearly as complete as the Thompson Chain Reference KJV Bible, but in all fairness, I didn't expect it to be as complete
As far as quality of materials, time will tell. The cover is soft and flexible, but the paper has an odd feel and doesn't accept pencil very well. Also it is very thin paper and most everything bleeds through, this is extremely annoying since I am an avid note taker in my Bible. I would like to see an improvement there.

Great edition...the helps & outlines add a lot, and this is a great deal like the Bill Glass Crusades Special Edition Open Bible, which we scoured the web trying to find, but couldn't...thankfully, Christianbook.com had this!

I am so happy to see that the Open Bible will again be published in Aug. 2012. My copy was copyright 1975 by Thomas Nelson, I was given it as a gift in 1978. In 2008 I had to retire it because it is so worn. I have used a different version since 2008 and it is large print and it helps me read but I have missed the information presented in the KJV of the Open. I have pre-ordered one for myself. I anticipate what God will show me in this new copy. The large print would really help. He will speak to me though it again. To Him be the glory and praise.

Most Study Bibles are in all honesty Bible Commentaries with some having as many as 35,000 notes in them.this Open Bible is a long lost friend.
It lets the reader learn the Word on their own.Not be force fed some Scholar's interpretation of the Word.
I am thrilled it is back.
