Description : During the Reformation, a renewed interest in
Scripture brought great light to the church and the world. In
The Reformation
Study Bible, general editor R.C. Sproul aims to present the light of the
Reformation anew by combining an accessible translation with study notes that
stand firmly in the theological tradition of the Reformation.
No other study Bible gives the reader more assistance in

the Scriptures. Extensive notes have been researched and written by a team of
more than fifty scholars, including J.I. Packer, James Boice, and Wayne Grudem.
All Christians that want to dig deeper in their study of Scripture
will appreciate the Bible's many features, including section introductions, book
introductions and outlines, comments on the biblical text, theological notes,
charts, in-text maps, and cross references.

study God's word in a language they can understand.
