Is there an SDA study Bible?

>I was wondering if there was a study Bible available that is in line with SDA teachings?

There's quite a few KJV Study Bibles that are available:

It has taken me years - decades - to deal with compilations like Messages to Young People. I have come to make a point of not taking edits and compilations of her work at face value. They can serve as catalogues on topics pointing back to original sources where context and often gentling setting can correct flavors conveyed by the compilations. I have never perused Bibles with EGW helps. In general, I would say that they (any compilation or clippings) are better suited to more advanced students. (Deserving of more discussion - but not here)

You are right that there are wonderful things in the Conflict Series (Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, Desire of Ages, and Great Controversy). The likes of Story of Redemption, Steps to Christ, Christ's Object Lessons, Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing are also very good, full context reading. I would probably recommend Story of Redemption as a good overview. But even then your qualifier, "if the person understands and can accept her role as an inspired teacher" is a well placed qualifier. Being familiar with Bible first greatly helps in growing confidence toward recognizing her as an inspired teacher.

I think I would still rather see understanding of our fundamental teachings derived from the Bible. It is a daunting study but becoming familiar with the Sanctuary is helpful and even key to our history as SDAs. While I have no reservation about full context EGW work, there is a lot of noise about and abuse of her work. Having a good Biblical base is a great help in turning up the squelch on the noise.

(sorry. I'm not too good at short comments)

Good points... thanx for your experiential insights.

What is it about the compilations that you find most grievous besides being perhaps out of context? I quite enjoy the devotional comps. like Maranatha, Our Father Cares, etc...

Nope. Didn't read the thread--in a rush. (My cat hollers at me when he wants to go outside for a walk.)
