The original Quest Study Bible was conceived in 1989 when two publishing companies, Zondervan and Christianity Today International, worked together to develop a Bible that would answer the challenging questions that arose as people read Scripture. Focus groups around the United States evaluated the usefulness of potential study Bible features and helped select the features that would be included in this Bible. Then, more than 1,000 people received passages of Scripture and were asked, "What questions do you have about this portion of the Bible?" Their responses helped determine what kinds of questions the notes would answer, helping to create a resource that answers the questions that real people have asked about the Bible. Notes have been updated in subsequent releases to ensure that this Bible stays relevant and current to modern readers.

Fantastic for putting together Bible lessons.

My third "read through the Bible in one year".

[Jessica Dudok · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this Bible. It is easy to understand. The questions and answers on the side of the Bible are great and gave me a lot more understanding and context. There were a lot of questions that I had that weren’t in the Bible that I had to seek out on my own, but I can’t expect the scholars who translated this Bible to know all the answers. The reading plans in the front of the Bible are super helpful and the topics in the back of the book are also super organized and useful. The only thing I didn’t like was that Jesus’ words were not in red like in other bibles to differentiate when Jesus is speaking. I read this Bible in 2 years and now I’m going to start back up again!
