NKJV Complete Evidence Study Bible

Great Resource For Evangelism
The Evidence Bible has actually been around for a while in the form of the "Comfort-able KJV" edition where Ray Comfort actually did some editing to make the KJV a bit more readable. The original Evidence Bible has returned published by the same publishers, Bridge Logos Foundation, but now in the NKJV text. This is good as it allows for a true translation rather than Ray's personal update of the KJV (not that he did a bad job). While I personally would prefer The Evidence Bible to be in the ESV rather than the NKJV, I am okay with the translation.The Evidence Bible itself is very useful. It follows the witnessing pattern that The Way of the Master has become famous for and that is to lead sinners to see their sinfulness before a holy and just God through the Law of God found in Exodus 20:1-17. This is the example that Jesus gave us in Mark 10:17-21; John 4:7 and also that Paul gave in Romans 2:21-24. In Acts 24:25 we find Paul again preaching the Law before Felix. In Romans 7:7 Paul says that it is through the knowledge of the Law that we know what sin is and in 1 Timothy 1:8-11 Paul tells us that the Law is good if used to convict sinners. Romans 3:19-20 says that the Law of God shuts sinners mouths before Him so that they are guilty. The Law never saves but points to the Savior (Galatians 3:24 NKJV).The pros of this Bible are 1) it is very helpful in evangelism. A Christian can study this Bible to find evidences for the faith say against evolution and also helps to spur us on to witness for Jesus (Acts 1:8). 2) It is helpful in helping us with a Christian worldview. Ray Comfort has compiled numerous quotes on many ethical issues in this Bible which help the disciple have a strong biblical worldview on various subjects including evolution, marriage, etc. 3) Any disciple can use this Bible from an Arminian to a Calvinist. While Comfort favors an unlimited atonement (for example at Ray's note on John 7:37 he writes, "Salvation is possible for every person. See Acts 2:21." That seems clear to me.), Comfort avoids the election debate at passages such as Romans 9:18. 4) I also enjoyed the quotes that Comfort has placed all through the Bible about topics such as evangelism, prayer, holiness, etc. They are simple but powerful quotes.The negatives of this Bible would be 1) if you reject a literal 6 day creation then you'll probably not like The Evidence Bible. Comfort strongly supports (as do I) a six day, 24 hour creation view. If you reject Genesis 1-2 as literal history, you will not enjoy this Bible. 2) If you never share your faith with others, you'll not enjoy this Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, this Bible calls you to be bold in sharing your faith. Jesus went to the cross for our sins and yet you can't even tell others about His grace? If you are a lazy Christian, you'll not like this Bible. 3) If you don't pray you will want to avoid this Bible. 4) If you reject the inerrancy of the Bible you will want to avoid this Bible. 5) If you believe that there are more than one ways to God outside of personal faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9-17), you will want to avoid this Bible. 6) Lastly, I don't favor the words of Christ in red and this edition does have them in red but its not a big deal.ConclusionThis is a very helpful Bible to use when sharing your faith or preparing to share your faith. Brother Ray Comfort is a solid man of God and his wisdom in evangelism shows in this Bible. I do recommend it.

Get this book
Yes, the Bible is a book. And even more so with the Evidence Bible because every page contains enlightening, fortifying information and commentary that on its own is enough to compose a second book. God tells us that it is immeasurably important to submerge ourselves in His Word every single day. I find that challenging, and my sporadic consumption of His Word has been a barrier to my spiritual growth. Notwithstanding, I am and always have been an avid reader - I just sometimes find myself feeling a little lost and easily distracted when reading my Bible. The enemy at work in my mind? This NKJV Evidence Bible guides me along, enriching not just the text but my journey as a Christian. It’s like reading the Bible and a really good book about the Bible and the Christian life all in one. Whereas the footnotes of so many other study Bibles are about geography, different phrasings of a word, etc., THESE footnotes are straightforward reference and ministry, both. There is A TON of content as you can see from my photos. It’s like visiting a beautiful new place, with the friendliest, most knowledgeable tour guide who will make sure you don’t miss a thing. I thank Jesus for Ray Comfort and the obvious love and care he took with this. Side note: a PERFECT Bible for children and teens as well. God bless!

Best study Bible I've found.
I own many Bibles. This by far has been the most helpful one. It is excellent for leading Bible studies or small groups. So many quotes from champions of the faith and evidence for what we believe. I also appreciate that Ray tries very hard to remain neutral on hot button topics that typically make Christians angry at each other but aren't essential to the faith. My children also love and read this Bible. They really like the commentaries with pictures.
