This is my favorite Bible because it has wide margins for notes and lots of blanks to fill in as you study. It also doesn't have a lot of man's commentary, so the Word can speak for Himself. I love it!

I usually read a different version of the Bible through each year. However, the last couple of years I have not done so during my husband's final illness and death. I have been reading the New American Standard Bible, the version of this Bible.
I have never written in my Bibles, and I've taken a couple of Kay Arthur Bible studies. I have always made my notes and markups in the class workbook rather than in the Bible. However, I realized it would be much more helpful to have all the markings in one place: the Bible. And since this Bible is designed to be used with the Kay Arthur studies, I decided to get this one. It provides extra space for notes and has additional information, such as maps, that are helpful for Bible study.
I have a problem reading print because of poor eyesight, so I normally read everything on my Kindle. However, that doesn't work with the color-coding and other markings that are used in inductive Bible study. The print in this Bible is marginally readable for me--I do keep a magnifying glass handy and sometimes have to use it. However, this is easier for me to read than most Bibles or print books in general. I really like color-coding directly in the Bible so over time, I will have very helpful markings and notes throughout the entire Bible.

Description

About the Binding & Cover
This edition is made from high quality Genuine leather, with a Smythe sewn binding. The cover has a rich leathery feel, rich color and well defined grain. Bibles covered in Genuine leather are very durability and will last for many years. Genuine leather is made from the remaining layers after the top layer has been removed, at that point it has a suede surface which is then refinished to add grain and texture. Genuine leather can be refinished in many textures from fine grain to crocodile skin. This edition lays flat while you are reading because of its high quality Smythe sewn binding. Smythe sewn binding is considered the highest quality binding, the pages are sewn and glued to the spine of the Bible. The benefits are a long lasting Bible that can be read and reread for years without falling apart. Books with Smythe sewn binding will stand up to more abuse than regular glued binding, and can be read on a flat surface. For these reasons many textbooks, picture books and Bibles that are designed to stand the tests of time use Smythe sewn binding. Smythe sewn book printing and binding gets its name from its inventor, an Irish-American named David McConnell Smythe (1833-1807). A pioneer of modern day bookbinding, Smythe took a bold leap forward over the centuries old methods of binding by producing the first technology and methods for sewing book pages to the spine to create a book of superior quality and appearance. Smythe-sewn Bibles are durable, but they may be heavier and less flexible than glued Bibles. That said if you want the best, then you want Smythe sewn binding. Size: 9.5 X 6.5 X 2.25 (inches)
What’s inside?
The text of this edition is 9.5 pt, which is clear and easy to read. The layout of this Bible is single column format, black letter edition, with blank paragraph/subject headings so that you can write your own subject headings. This new edition contains many special and revised features: a 32-page guide to carrying out the steps of observation, interpretation, and application, full-color pages with step-by-step instructions and overviews for every book of the Bible, individualized instructions and overviews every book of the Bible, Wide margins for note taking, 24 pages of full-color charts historical time-lines and maps, dozens of unique study helps including a comprehensive history of Israel, cross-references, and concordance. This Bible is printed on high quality paper, because of the thinness of the paper I recommend using Sakura Pigma Micron Pens and Crayola Color Pencils for highlighting. The margins are 1 1/4"" along the outside of the pages. This edition has a burgundy ribbon marker, the pages are edged with gold which looks elegant with the burgundy cover.

About this Translation
The translation used in this edition is the Updated New American Standard Version
The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. The American Standard Version was a reversion of the King James Version. Many view the New American Standard Bible as one of the most literal translations of the 20th-century. Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely embraced by many as “the most literally accurate English translation” from the original languages. In 1995, the Lockman Foundation reissued the NASB text as the NASB Updated Edition (or more often known, the Updated NASB or NASB95). Since then, it has become known simply as the "NASB" and has supplanted the 1971 text in most current printings (although the Thompson Chain Reference Bible, the Open Bible, and the Key Word Study Bible still use the 1977 text for their NASB editions).
My Personal Opinion
The NISB is one of the most interactive study Bibles I have ever seen. This Bible teaches you how to observe, interpret, and apply scripture through careful observation. This is a very unique and useful study Bible. The NISB is available in Hardcover, Bonded Leather and Genuine Leather editions.

I have had this Bible for several years. I think I started using around 1999. My goal is to read it every day, but sometimes i miss it. I love reading and re-reading it. I especially love studying it.
I like this version because the study hints, charts to fill in, graphs, maps, illustrations, timelines and historical information in the back all help me to better understand the text. There is even an essay on understanding Greek (and I think a Hebrew on too), but that's a bit beyond me.
I'm using the paperback version, albiet with duct tape reinforcement. I also have a leatherbound addition that I bought when I thought I had lost my Bible. When the paperback gives out, i will switch to this one.

I really enjoy the NASB translation. It is the version I used when I was taught to study the Bible, so I guess I am biased in this area. This particular Bible is great for those who are overwhelmed about where or how to start studying the Bible. If you have no one to sit down and teach you how to study the Bible then I highly recommend this Bible. It contains a lot of assistance with charts and questions about each book.

Still the best translation for reading close to the original languages while easy to read in English.

December 30, 2024This was my second time through the Bible, this time with my church family (including my son) with the Bible Recap Plan (which was wonderful). I’d love to make it an annual tradition to read through the whole Bible.

An obvious 5 star read

This is definitely the Bible to own for those who are serious about going deeper into the Word of God. There is an explanation of how to do inductive Bible study, followed by a Comparative Timetable of History.
Every book is preceded by a short summary, followed by Things to Do and General Instructions. At the end of each book there is an At A Glance chart where you can record Chapter Themes, segment divisions, the book's author, date written, purpose the book was written, and key words.
At the very end of this Bible there are Bible Study Helps, a short Concordance, and Color Maps.
I have found it is well worth the time and effort to dig deeper into God's word using this inductive method.

Will I go to Hell for giving the Bible a 4? :P NASB is my favorite translation, and I like this particular translation for its numerous extras: concordance, a list showing where the Gospels overlap, instruction in how to read Scripture, etc. I think it's a good Bible for adults who want to dig deep into Scripture and enhance their study. I do not think it is a good Bible -- or translation for that matter -- for daily reading unless you like heavy, word-for-word Scripture.
June 21, 2018
I have the NASB version and it is great. There is plenty of room in the margins for taking notes and helpful maps, charts, and illustrations are throughout the book. Each chapter also has an introductory section and Bible study tips.
May 28, 2019
This is a great version to study the Bible with. It includes places to write key words, your own chapter headings, themes, date written, purpose of book etc plus filled with timelines. I wouldn’t recommend following all the markings though as it would mess up the actual text.

Excellent Version to read.

2023 was my 16th year reading the bible cover to cover
June 28, 2025
Excellent format...one request for future design: paragraph format instead of by verse. I do not follow the editors' specific inductive guides but fine the space and paper quality helpful, also the maps, etc.

This is for the 1995 edition-------
New American Standard Bible 1995, New Inductive Study Bible. GOD. 1995. 2296 pages. [Source: Bought] [Bible, bible review, 5 stars]
First sentence: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

The New American Standard Bible is one of my all-time favorite, favorite translations. Particularly the 1977 and 1995. This is the 1995 update. I have also read the New Inductive Study Bible in the NASB 1977. So I've now read this particular 'study' Bible in two translations.
This Bible is a study Bible if and only if you put in the work to make it so. The Bible includes detailed instructions on how to do inductive Bible study, how to mark up your Bible, how to write in your Bible, how to interpret and understand what you're reading, what you're marking, etc. It does include some maps, charts, illustrations, etc. that you could benefit from regardless of if you are doing the inductive part. Because this is a Bible that's meant to be marked, written in, etc, there's plenty of space to do so. Perhaps not as much as a wide margin or journaling Bible, but more than your regular Bible.
This is a SINGLE COLUMN, black-letter Bible. The font size is decent, perhaps more than decent. It is not large print or giant print. But it isn't tiny print either. This Bible is HEAVY. That's the trade-off for all the extra space for writing. I believe it is also verse by verse (and not paragraphed). There are no headings, sub-headings, etc. There are lines for YOU to fill in the headings.
This is an older edition of the New Inductive Study Bible. I believe it has been reprinted several times.
-------Below is for 1977 edition----

I absolutely love, love, love the New American Standard Bible, in particular I love, love, love the 1977 edition of the NASB.
This will not be a review of the "new inductive" features. There is a massive system of bible study--bible marking--involved in the inductive study method. I did not seek to try to learn it.
Believe it or not, I did *slow* down my reading for this read through. I read ONE book at a time. I underlined. I wrote in the wide margins. I jotted down questions. I intentionally thought about how verses fit into chapters, and how chapters fit into books. I was more observant when it came to recurring themes. I finished the book quickly because I was enthusiastic about spending time in the Word of God. I read twice a day for varying amounts of time.
This one is SINGLE column, black letter, fairly large print. Though I didn't follow the instructions for the inductive method, I did enjoy some of the charts, illustrations, and books introductions.

I absolutely LOVE this Bible! I wore out the original leather cover and so I had it re-bound. The margins are very wide for taking notes and the print is large - so that you can mark key words.
The chapters have a blank line so that you can write your own title. At the end of each book, there is a chart so that you can transfer the chapter-titles into it. It also gives you suggestions for key words to look for in that book.
Kay Arthur's ministry designed this Bible. Unfortunately, they no longer sell it in the New International Version.

I LOVE this Bible!! Highly recommend. No commentary so you are forced to think for yourself. Allows you to search out chapter themes. It has a built in study that helps you to understand the chapter that you're reading. I'm currently looking at the ESB (English Standard Bible) but this one is definitely a keeper!

The most easy to read, easy to notate, best addenda Bible I have ever seen. Illustrations, maps, a harmony, historical vs Biblical charts. I am consuming it with relish!!!
Currently in Genesis, reading about Joseph, I am struck by Joseph's love and forgiveness for his family. If Joseph could forgive his brothers for selling him into slavery, why can't I forgive any wrong ever done to me?

Awesome resources within - maps, history of ancient times in the Spiritual Life of Israel with a comparative timetable of history, Bible study helps, how to mark your bible, yet it lets you study the bible from the inside out… not from what others say that the Bible says, but from the actual context of the Bible says.

Such an amazing inductive study Bible! This has really helped me dive deeper into God's Word. This is a great study Bible for anyone that enjoys a more active method of studying God's Word. With the help of the Holy Spirit and this method of studying God's Word, I have a better understanding of passages I found challenging before. I'm very grateful to be blessed with this study Bible.

You can let other people tell you what it says or you can read it for yourself - this is my favorite version because it is the most literal translation into English. Word for Word instead of idea for idea to that we are not reading the perception of others as much as we are listening to the author. Let the author speak for Himself.

There is EVERYTHING to learn from this book! I love the wide-margins for note taking. The New Inductive Study Bible is the NASB Translation. One can rest assured that it is the closest translation of the original Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek of the ancient scriptures.

I have learned that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and that through Him I am an heir of God Himself, He is is my heavenly Father and I am His child. Personally I think I get the better end of the deal.

Excellent version of a study bible. As a girl who grew up in the 80s, all the verses I memorized in Sunday School were from the NASB version and despite buying what seemed like every other version of the Bible I gravitated back to this one.

Read this year, starting in Joshua. Read through Revelation, then came back to Genesis and wrapped up.
Read 2021--got behind, so I had to read 10 chapters per day throughout most of the fall. Going to try to stay on track in 2022!
