Book Review: NKJV Prophecy Study Bible

Prophecy is one of those topics in Scripture that one must approach with caution. Reason why is because you can take a verse and make it say anything you want especially if you try to interpret it based on what you see in the newspaper or CNN. There have been many books written on prophecy but not very many study Bibles.

John Hagee, yes the blood moon guy, has produced a study Bible for those wanting to study prophecy called the NKJV Prophecy Study Bible. Don't know it is called a study Bible because, unlike most study Bibles, there are hardly any study notes from a majority of the verses. There are side notes and pages that answer some key questions regarding prophecy.

Of course, with John Hagee being the general editor, it leans towards a premillennial dispensational view of the end times. I did not find this study Bible addressing other views of the end times such as postmillennialism and amillennialism. A better prophecy study Bible would be taking the prophecies of scripture and show what each view shows.

One positive thing about this Bible, is a chart, which Hagee is known for his charts, regarding the prophecies fulfilled in the coming of Christ, which scholars, regardless of eschatology, mostly agree on. Would I recommend this study Bible to anyone? Well, you are a John Hagee fan, this one is for you. If you are not, don't waste your time. You can read one of his books to get mostly the same things.

Thanks Booklook Bloggers for letting me review this Study Bible.
