Hi all, I was looking at purchasing the Reformation Study Bible (ESV) The editors are Sproul and Mathison which excites me as I think highly of both of these men. Anyone ever use this? Opinions? Thought I would check here before I purchased. Thanks...:)

I have it in NKJV - love it, it is my primary Bible (I didn't know about the ESV when I purchased mine or I probably would have chosen that translation). Since I'm reformed I really appreciate the fact that the helps look at Scripture from the Reformed perspective. I know one of my pastors uses it for personal study - I purchased mine after borrowing his.

I also have the Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible (NIV). Most of the helps are the same - but it includes such documents as the WCF, Canons of Dort, Belgic Confession, Heidleburg Catechism, Westminster Larger & Shorter Catechism. So, I got a whole lot of extras for the same money. I admit, I mostly use this one for the extras - but also compare with other translations (NASB & NKJV).

Thanks for the congrats and the good wishes.

Had a sudden realization this evening - I'm essentially computer illiterate (the only things I can do on a computer are things that someone has shown my how to do). I'm thinking that might be a problem. OOOPS.
