| They are both excellent Bibles. I have both. I like the binding better on the ESV and the text font, but I think the notes are better in the S.O.T.R Study Bible. It is also a bonus to have the Creeds & Confessions at the end of the NIV which Sprouls doesn't have. I like the ESV translation better, than the NIV.
With all that said, the S.O.T.R study Bible is the winner because of the overall notes and additional materials.
My suggestion. Get both! |
