Book Review: The Apologetics Study Bible, CSB

If you are coming to this review for an analysis of the Christian Standard Bible, that will not be the topic of my review. I do not have the training in Biblical languages and Bible translation to even begin to analyze that. But what I can review is the physical book and the study resources included.

The book itself has a simple cover design, with a faint silhouette of the thinker statue in the background. The book has a small, but readable font. The pages are thin and some of the words from the backside of the page can be seen on the front side. This downside drops the book design to 4 stars out of 5.

The resources inside the book are excellent. Authors and apologists like Lee Strobel (The Case for Christ), Josh McDowell (Evidence That Demands a Verdict), and Ravi Zacharias (Why Jesus?) contribute to the articles within. And the articles are very good as well. They do not just focus on one topic but span all the different areas of apologetics, from abortion to religions, to the character of God. I give these resources 5 stars out of 5.

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this study Bible. A simple layout and great resources make it a very nice addition to a collection of Bibles. I give this Bible 4.5 stars out of 5.
