There are times when a Greek or Hebrew word has a distinct meaning that seriously affects the proper interpretation of Scripture. Unless you are familiar with these languages, you will not be able to determine what word in the original text was used or the differences between these words-until now. The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible identifies the key words of the original languages and presents clear, precise explanations of their meaning and usage. Those who love God's Word will treasure this Bible, for it contains a whole library of biblical helps within its covers.

The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible is a wonderful tool for the serious Bible scholar, or even just someone with an interest in the original language of the Bible. My copy is in the 1977 edition of the NASB, with a burgundy genuine leather cover. There is a paste-down lining, and gold gilding on the pages. The spine says "Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible", "NASB New American Standard Bible 1977 Edition", and "AMG Publishers" in gold. It has one burgundy ribbon and a sewn binding.
The text of the Bible is a double column format. There are center column references, and it is a red letter text. The red letter text is not the darkest that I have seen, but it is not the worst either. I do not have any trouble reading it. The text is a 9 point font for the Bible text and notes. The references are a smaller font, I would guess about a 7 point. The personal pronouns are capitalized when referring to Deity. There is a bookmark placed in the front of the Bible that gives you a list of the Grammatical Codes to the Grammatical Notations. You will want to keep this handy when you study with this Bible. I would not consider this a wide margin Bible, but the margins are definitely generous enough that you could take some notes.
Each book of the Bible has a short introduction that is about a paragraph to half of a page. There are many underlined key words throughout the Bible, and each of those words has a number beside it. There is an Old Testament and New Testament Dictionary in the back of the Bible where you find the number of the key word, and then can read some meaning, explanation, and synonyms of the key word. When you see a key symbol in the text, that means that there are notes at the bottom of the page about that particular passage. There is a 77 page concordance, and 8 full color maps in the back of the Bible as well.
If you are in seminary, a pastor, or just interested in studying the original languages of the Bible, the Hebrew-Greek Keyword Study Bible is an essential addition to your library! This Bible is available in the NASB '77, CSB, KJV, NKJV, and ESV versions, and they also come in a variety of covers from hardcover to genuine leather. It a wonderful resource to guide you to a deeper understanding of scripture.
I received a copy of this Bible from AMG Publishers in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I find this bible to be my main source bible. The dictionary of Greek & Hebrew is excellent, however they're definitions are close enough to any dictionary found on the shelf. there are some word definition(s) that will surprise you as to their meaning in biblical language. The words of Christ are in red, which is a plus for me, and there are many notes which are not so small that you have to squint to read. the type is good & large just enough for most, I would imagine that means a lot to most readers, it does so for me. This book actually is very informative, but very expensive to purchase @ a whim. One must be very careful to check it thoroughly out before buying. I find this book worth the money I put into it. I have the goat skin cover and I am happy I invested the money because between those two covers is information you would want to protect and keep a very long time, could even be a family heirloom for some.
