What do others say about the Study Bible?
Lianne Obbink: "The Study Bible has brought me an incredible amount. When I had doubts about everything in life, I started studying hermeneutics, which also led me to the Study Bible. Through your work I have learned to search and investigate. I have learned that sometimes questions go unanswered, but that God does make Himself known, both in history and now. Knowing Him has become of more value than any answer could ever have been."
Wilma Verboom: "I want to take this opportunity right away to thank you (and the co-authors of course and all the contributors) for the Study Bible. I have been using it for many years and each time I am delighted with the insights I get. The Study Bible is short, concise, clear but also complete and totally Bible-based. Also nice that it contains references from the NT to the OT and vice versa. I am very happy with it and thankful for it. God is really using this!!! The Study Bible is truly a jewel and a great blessing!"
Vincent de Haas (KBS coordinator): "I am very happy with the Study Bible and enjoy using it for my own studies. It broadens my knowledge and deepens my faith."
Rev. G. H. Abma: "Good wine needs no wreath: once again an excellent work has been published."
G. Arends: "May I also take this opportunity to tell you how wonderful the Study Bible is, accessible and yet very thorough, inspiring, Bible-proof and yet also really new. I recently had to preach on Psalm 23, a psalm about which so much has already been said, but which thanks to the Study Bible began to speak to me anew. Thank you very much and I sincerely wish you God's rich blessing in your work. I can't wait until the next volume is out!"
Rev. W. Arntzen: "The Study Bible lives up to its name (...). Everything is extremely instructive and rendered in understandable words."
A.J. van den Herik: "The authors' treatment of the material commands respect and admiration. Here reverence for Scripture and scholarship go hand in hand."
Rev. C. Hovius: "The beauty is that vistas are also given to understand God's intentions in and for the times in which we ourselves live."
W.G. Hulsman: "Our faith in the infallibility of Scripture is being gnawed at. Then a commentary like this, which uses recent insights, is a boon. Also for theologians."
Rev. G.C. de Jong: "Never before have I faced a commentary in the Dutch language that offers so much access to the text of the Old Testament itself as this monumental work."
Drs. I.A. Kole: "We do ourselves a disservice if we did not take advantage of this comment."
Prof. Dr. P.P. Krüger, South Africa: "There is a lot of attention given to scripture-within-a-scripture comparison and the line after the New Testament is explicitly drawn. Such a revelation-historical lyne is not often drawn in Bybelkommentare and is definitely a winning point."
Ronald Parlato (Washington D.C.): "I am currently reading your commentary on Matthew; and I find it one of the best, most thorough, and most accessible of the many I have consulted. I particularly like your focus on language (Greek, Hebrew, etc.)."
Parent Magazine: "An inexhaustible source of information ... recommended for all who wish to delve deeply."
Prof. Dr. W.J. Ouweneel: "It has become a magnificent work - also in its execution - that is absolutely unique in the Dutch language area."
Prof. Dr. E. Peels: "The writers have endeavored to offer the clearest possible explanation of these books of the Bible, with a commendable allusion of all kinds of excerpts that throw additional light on them."
Dr. H. Ridderbos: "The Study Bible, even for readers who are not proficient in classical languages, brings the text of the Bible as close to the reader as I am familiar with from no such work. You explain the text clearly, interpret it also in the closest possible connection to Scripture itself, letting yourself be guided by the salvation-historical view of its contents. The main thing is that in the way you proceed, you have every interest in letting the Bible speak for itself. And that is worthy of recommendation."
