The New Oxford Annotated Bible Fourth Edition is an excellent scholarly encounter with the scriptures. Each book is given a thorough introduction with plenty of information for the reader. The annotations are very good as one would expect with an Oxford publication. There are a number of essays and a short concordance as well as good colour maps. Overall I would recommend this for those seeking a scholarly encounter with the Bible.

Forget the collins buy this and you will be on target for understanding the bible at Oxford detail level. The book itself is built very well indeed and large enough to be an easy read. The notes are modern and up to date. I am a bible student and have several bibles, this one is one of my favorites. Very solid will last a long time. Buy it.

Like many other Oxford titles, such as the Oxford Bible Commentary, this is an indispensable resource for serious biblical and theological study. Not only the individual books have introductions and chapter/verse commentaries but there are also very useful essays on the books that may not be the focus of one's particular studies that go a long way to form a high-level but rounded knowledge of those books. This is a substantial and serious reference that will serve any student well for many years; my only complaint is that there isn't (as of writing) a Kindle version.
