The best Study Bible

[Jesus_is_Saint]

1. Can you introduce me the best study bible? I heard that New King James Version is the best.
2. What collection of books are the best to explain New Testament?
3. Is the online Daily Bread very good, sometimes I do not know what the author is trying to tell me? But most of the time I feel that DB is very good, I can just read it from my mobile phone.

I like the Old Schofield. I think you can get it in NKJV as well as KJV. I don't know if you are a dispensationalist or not. If you are, the Old Schofield is a good one.

The idea of a 'best' anything is entirely subjective and even the best translation can't be agreed upon by the majority of Christians.

Personally I believe the New American Standard Bible(NASB) is the most accurate English translation with the ESV a close second.

As far as study bibles go, I'd recommend the ESV Study Bible. It's often on sale at most major Christian book stores/sites and is about $30-40. It's incredible whether you will read the actual text block itself or not, the study notes alone are worth it. You also get a code to be able to register online and access all of the bible notes and resources wherever you are.

Another one I own and recommend is the MacArthur Study Bible. It's available in a host of translations too and it's my go-to study bible. John MacArthur is, without doubt, one of the best expositors of Scripture for a long time, probably our generation. $25-40 for a hardback but you can get various leather bindings too. I bought genuine leather and it was about $60, but they have regular sales.

Lastly, The Reformation Study Bible can't go unmentioned. It's an ESV text block and the study notes are again very good indeed. It's a little pricier here in the UK because it isn't as readily available, but in the U.S. it's about $30-40 I think.

I use the Lutheran study bible put out by Concordia Publishing House. It is a ESV version.

EW Bullinger's Companion Bible is outstanding. I don't agree with everything in it, but as a "study bible" it's far beyond anything else of which I'm aware.

I wish to buy a Kindle version for my iPad, cheaper and easier to carry.

Depends on who you ask. I generally don't like products marketed as "study bibles."

However, there is one recommendation I will make: the New Oxford Annotated Bible w/ Apocrypha
https://www.amazon.com/New-Oxford-Annotated-Bible-Apocrypha/dp/0195289609

I love this one. This is a scholarly option that has been used in college classrooms.

2. What collection of books are the best to explain New Testament?

Again, it depends on who you ask. I've heard positive things about N.T. Wright's commentaries, such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/Matthew-Everyone-Part-Chapters-Testament/dp/0664227864

Wright is well-respected New Testament scholar.

3. Is the online Daily Bread very good, sometimes I do not know what the author is trying to tell me? But most of the time I feel that DB is very good, I can just read it from my mobile phone.

I'm not a fan.
