Study Bible

[TimV]

Do any of you have recommendations for study Bibles for teenagers? My 14 and 15 year old have both taken a good interest in the history of cultures mentioned in the Bible, and I'd like one with maps, geneologies and even a few historical articles, as long as they aren't way out liberal or anything.
Thanks
Tim

Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible is solid in so many ways ...

You might want to try the Archaeological Study Bible. It is probably the ultimate Bible meeting the interests of your teens. If they were to read that whole study Bible they would probably know more about the history of the cultures of the Bible than most here on the Puritanboard!

The Thompson Chain has quite a few aids in it as well, without any slant on a particular theology.

Thanks so much, I've made the orders.

I use MacArthur's study Bible, but it's very focused on theology - not sure if that's what you're looking for...

The Thompson Chain Reference, as has been pointed out, is relatively "influence free" and has an excellent self referencing system and some good standard Bible helps also. I have been told they may add the ESV version in about two years time. If your child has good eyesight, there is a slightly smaller "handy size."

On top of all this, there is a fairly substantial archaeology section included.

a MacArthur Study Bible is a must need. But I'd wait a little bit for the ESV Study Bible. That will, I think, be the best because they do get into those kind of things.

This might be too much but it's good

The Dutch Annotations Upon the Whole Bible.

They also have the Matthew Henry Study Bible and the Annals of Usher are available.
