- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5a good "go to" bible, more than just a read threw like the NIV, but with actual and correct words that can correspond right back to the greek and hebrew. which helped (me at least) get an Ideal of what was originally written (unlike the JKV which i grew up with and now can not stand)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This Bible is the sharpest 'double edged sword' you can own!, December 9, 1999 By 1tim612 (Irving, Texas, USA) If you enjoy 'feasting' on the Word of God, you will never be hungry again! This is absolutely the richest, deepest and fullest translation you will ever read. Reading the Amplified Bible is like reading the KJV, NKJV, NAS, NIV, TLB, RSV, Phillips and a commentary at the same time. Observe: 'Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather, but his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord...(Psalm 1:1). I'll never read another translation!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very useful for study but I would CAUTION people to read the explanation of what the different markings mean!! Just as the KJV lets you know when the translators inserted words, the Lockman translators also notify you when they have inserted words and phrases. They felt these insertions were implied by the original text. That's ok with me since, as I read them, I know it is NOT original Bible text.One reason I mention this is that when I see the Amplified Bible quoted in publications, they do not reproduce these markings (italics, brackets, parentheses, etc.). This obscures when the translators have inserted their interpretations.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Amplified Bible's approach of clarifying and expanding upon details of the translation using parentheses, brackets, dashes, italics, etc. should be taken up by publishers of other classic texts. This is the version of the Bible I've read more than any other. (I wore out a paperback copy of the Amplified New Testament before buying this copy, which has likewise been well-used and ill-treated.)
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5it does not open and it does not want to save offline
