The MacArthur Study Bible

The MacArthur Study Bible Twentieth-Anniversary Edition

No resource we’ve developed embodies our commitment to cultivating deeper personal Bible study more than The MacArthur Study Bible. It’s the most important tool we carry because unlike any single book or sermon series, it deals with the whole of Scripture. Nothing else we offer clarifies God’s Word so comprehensively or provides so much help to people who want to dig deeper into the riches of Scripture.

For years the spiritual lives of countless men and women throughout the world have been strengthened with the help of The MacArthur Study Bible. What sets this Bible apart? Twenty-five thousand detailed notes written by John, the outworking of his decades of Scripture study. Page by page, the notes explain the biblical text. Page by page—in your own times of study—you will clearly understand what you’re reading and better know how to apply it to your life.

Since its release in 1997, more than a million copies of The MacArthur Study Bible have been distributed—an unprecedented reach among modern study Bibles. Today it is available in multiple translations, as well as several languages. We look forward to putting a copy into your hands.
