Interesting thesis about the Gnostics
I am somewhat familiar with the Gnostics and their scriptures (see my other reviews) and Pagels is one of the world's leading experts on Gnostic scriptures and their themes.
Beyond Projection
Elaine Pagels is by perhaps the key figure in the resurgence of gnostic ideas. Beginning with The Gnostic Gospels and continuing through a series of popular books, she has raised the Nag Hammadi finds to the public consciousness and, for the most part avoided the overt sensationalism and crackpot conspiracy theories of much that goes on among writers in the "neo-gnostic" genre. She has an engaging writing style and can formulate her theories in an interesting enough manner to make her an interesting read even to those who reject all her entire thesis.
Seeking understanding
Elaine Pagels wrote the Secret Gospel of Thomas when she was seeking understanding of her son's illness, her life in the scope of the world, and her own christianity. From this perspective of a search for understanding, I found the book to be wonderful, although I didn't entirely agree with all of its premises.

The recepient loved it
The item was a gift to an inmate and could not be delivered - but amazon.com was very kind about crediting my account with the entire amount of the order, including shipping, and I thank them for that.
The Good Book
I bought this book as a gift..and the person I bought it for was very happy with it.

Beautifully simple
This translation of the Bible is written in a way that is very easy to understand.It is not merely a "re-wording" of a previous translation (such as the NKJV), but is a translation that was created to be both true to the original Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic texts and also easy to follow.It is written at approximately a 7th grade reading level--not meaning it is aimed at a younger audience (as are some translations), but that it can easily be understood by all.

Excellent quality
This Bible is tiny, but the quality is very good. Of course, it is not a study Bible, but you have references all along the text, a 52 week reading plan, the favorite readings from the Bible, a harmony of the life of Christ, appearances after the resurrection, the miracles, the parables, a concordance and 7 color maps at the end ! KJVCornerstone Compact Snap Flap Bible
This Compact Bible is the perfect size to carry with you anywhere! Many of my friends have requested one after seeing mine. I use it at home, at Church, on the go... I love it!

Used it for years!
I have used Precepts as my Bible study book for several years now and am looking forward to this new edition. It really helps me to better understand what I'm reading. The essays and black history essays are great.

A GREAT study resource
I was told that this commentary would expand my understanding of the Bible and it's so true. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to truly study and get the context of the Scripture. The other thing I really liked is that it is written with the African American reader in-mind. The practical stories and the Black Personality Profiles were a pleasant surprise.

large(?) print
High quality binding. The translation is great. The weight is just right for carrying to church or holding while reading for long periods of time. The print, however, is not much larger than some of my other Bibles that are in standard print. I've seen those GIANT print Bibles and I don't need anything close to that size print but I would not have bought this particular one had I known how small the "large" print really is. ... Read more

The best features
This is my favorite day to day reading / studying bible.It offers translation helps in the middle.If a word is not used or has changed in meaning, it puts it there.If a more litteral translation is helpful, it also puts that there.It's not bogged down with commentaries, which can lead us astray.Its reasonably priced, so when you wear it out (I hope you read the bible that much) its easy to replace.If I can help furthur ask at powerofgrace.org. ...

Great Large Print Bible
It's wonderful to finally have a large print Bible that actually has center column references, instead of the typically very few end of paragraph references.The print size is very comfortable (11pt), and I wear bi-focals. The size of the print is perfect, certainly not too small and not so large that all you get is text. Because it is a thinline, it is easy to carry around. I would highly recommend this Bible to someone who wants a reference Bible, so you can discover God's truth for yourself, without the comments of others. The Holy Spirit truly does lead us into all truth. I qualify that with the fact that He also greatly uses His people as well, so even though I prefer the reference type Bible, I too have used study notes on occasion. Blessings! ... Read more

BOOK IGNORES JESUS' CLEAR TEACHING ABOUT "AT THE LAST DAY."
This book fails to address the words of Jesus Christ concerning "the last day" in John 6:39-40; John 12:48 and John 5:28-29 which are the basis for the historical view on this subject.
An Explanation of Prophecy For Today's Reader
Tim LaHaye has succeeded in describing Bible prophecy in today's street language and identifying the relationship of our world today with historical Biblical prophecy and what it portends for our future at the end times.The book clearly explains the historical time line of numerous prophecies, shows how many have already been fulfilled, and what is left to be fulfilled between now and the end times.
Solid material...
This LaHaye offering didn't arrest me like his, 'Revelation Unvieled' but is an inspiring and wonderful read. God's persona is the books real theme, prophecy second. ... Read more
