Enriching the lives of more than 2 million readers around the world
Nashville, Ten. (June 2020)- Thomas Nelson Bibles, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, is pleased to announce the release of the fully redesigned and updated second edition of the NASB MacArthur Study Bible.
For more than 35 years, Dr. John MacArthur has collected his pastoral and scholarly work to create the most comprehensive NASB study Bible available. Like the NKJV MacArthur Study Bible, which released in September 2019, the NASB has been fully redesigned with updated study notes and expanded selection of maps and charts. No other study Bible does such a thorough job of explaining the historical context, unfolding the meaning of the text, and making it practical for your life.
“I live for one primary reason and that is to make the Bible understandable,” said Dr. MacArthur. “The intention of the MacArthur Study Bibles has always been singular—to explain the meaning of the text. The meaning is the revelation, you’ve got to get the meaning right.”
Over 2 million readers around the world have had their spiritual lives enriched and their understanding of God’s Word expanded by The MacArthur Study Bible. Drawing on more than fifty years of dedicated pastoral and scholarly work, Dr. John MacArthur’s verse-by-verse study notes, book introductions, and articles display an unparalleled commitment to his life’s work—making God known through the Scripture.
“Over the years, John MacArthur has been my “go to” teacher to understand the Bible,” said John Kramp, senior vice president and group publisher, for Thomas Nelson Bibles. “I envy all those who will read and use this Bible for the first time. Expect a feast. For the rest of us who have relied on the first edition for years, this is what we’ve been waiting for.”

- Nearly 25,000 verse-by-verse study notes
