Wow, this was fantastic, Stephen... I've been marking my Bible for years and thought I had a pretty complete system, but you shared some things I hadn't thought about or seen elsewhere. I'm really excited about putting them into practice 👌Thanks so much! New subscriber here 😁 God bless 🌹
So happy it was helpful to you! Thank you for becoming a subscriber. So glad you are here!
I’m also super enjoying someone marking up a bible with an academic mindset and more towards translation variance.
I love seeing well worn and used bibles
Very interesting system. Thank you for sharing it!
I love your colour coding system. They are simple and based on textual analysis which doesn't change. I have a similar markibg system as yours. Your colour coding for the gospels would be a great study tool especially. Thank you for your ideas.
Thanks for sharing this, Stephen. I’d never thought to track textual variants with a highlighting/underlining system. Intriguing idea. So is the concept of book-specific colors and symbols. That could prove to be very useful. I’ve been using a multi-colored gel pen (the Hi-Tec C Coleto) to underline various themes in the Bible. In my system, green is for covenants, blue for the character or nature of God, orange is for anything Messianic, pink is for commands or principles for daily living, and purple is for anything else I find noteworthy. I also utilize the miscellanies note-taking method employed by Jonathan Edwards to jot down longer thoughts than will fit in my Bible’s (wide) margins.
That’s an awesome system! Most all my notes are contained in my Bible. I think the miscellanies method seems really cool. I’ve watched Matthew Everhard speak about it.
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews His video is where I first learned of that method. It immediately made sense to me. I've only been using it for about a year, but so far so good.
@@greggodwin781 very cool!
Your system is so cool! Really love what you did with the synoptic gospels. Thank you for sharing, God bless!!
Thank you!
I have adopted your colour coding system for the gospels and have just finished marking the parallel passages in the gospels. It took me about 4 days to finish it! Looking forward to enjoying the benefits of the colour coding.
That’s awesome!!
Thanks!
Some very good ideas that I had not thought about.
Glad to find another color coder!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. Godspeed!
Thank you brother!
Some great ideas, thanks!
Decided to watch videos of people’s different bible marking approaches on the way home and yours came up Stephen. The one I watch prior used green in the same way but used yellow in a similar way you are using orange saying it the big standout verses to memoize. I like the way you have used yellow and also approached the Synoptics. I have seen a lettering type approach to what you have done here but they used it to point to an external notebook. Have you changed your approach at all since doing this video?
Hi Andrew! No change on color coding. I do use the Jonathan Edwards’ miscellanies method for note taking now.
Colouring pencils, like the one with sharp end? Or something else? That is a good idea to avoid bleed-through and ghosting
Yes just plain old crayola colored pencils is what I used primarily in this Bible
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews awesone. Ghosting in my Bible is pretty bad. Need to try that out
Thanks!
Great marking video, thanks for sharing! Which Bible are you using in this video?
This is a Cambridge Concord. Thanks for watching
Can you clarify the difference between alternative meaning vs and variance in the text? What is the best resource to locate these? Do you mark each one or only when it is significant to the meaning of the text?
The alternative meanings would be a translation issue. That is, when alternative translation is possible. These are found in the center column reference of my Bible. Variants would be when the Greek (or Hebrew) manuscripts themselves differ. I pretty much follow here Philip Comfort’s Textual commentary supplemented by other research. In this Bible i mark the variants that effect the translation in some meaningful way.
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews do you follow the same rule when coloring dark green (OT in NT)? Meaning, you only highlight verses that effect or are very relevant to a specific point?
@@Yeshuite I am sure I have caught close to all of them but any old and new quotes that I have found, I have highlighted with the dark green
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews wow that’s awesome you must have a lot of dark green in Romans
If your comments on a verse are 1-2 word summaries will you still utilize your margin letters in orange or only for comments of significant length?
I sort of just go with my gut. When in doubt, I write.
How often do you mess up marking and how do you deal with that?
I mess up my fair share. I usually just draw a straight line through what I wrote. I tried white out before, but I don't recommend it.
I watched your highlighter set comparison video as well as this one. I don’t really highlight/color code my Bible as much as I write in it. And I’ve about given up writing in my carry Bible (my NKJV Wide Margin Reference Edition) because of my age. It’s harder to write small enough for marginal notations, and it’s harder to read what I’ve written, let alone the printed textual notations and variant information. But before I give up writing notes altogether, do you have a recommended pen for writing marginal notes on Bible paper?
Best Pen I’ve found for my Bible!

@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews Well, I'm embarrassed now! I *watched* that video about the Pigma pen. I even left a *comment* on it! I did say that I hardly ever write in my Bible anymore. My aging eyes and cataracts make things difficult. Also I have hand tremors that greatly effect my ability to write small and still be legible. But I kinda thinking maybe I should try one more time, and with a good pen. So, thanks...again! 😳
@@larryg.overton2951 don’t be embarrassed. I have over 170 videos on my channel.
I keep a notebook instead of writing in my bible. I also like to make notes in my Kindle versions of the Bible.
How did you come to find what was specific and what was shared between the gospels, just through careful study or a particular reference work? I am getting ready to embark on this journey in my ESV Cambridge WM
That’s awesome. I used Aland’s Synopsis of the four gospels
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews Awesome thank you so much
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews did you end up using scripture table of contents or go through pages individually to see word for word shared passages and differences between the synoptics?
is Alands synopsis available online somewhere? I cant find it, only parts of it.
Which publisher printed that bible?
Cambridge
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews nice!
@@davidherrera_78 thanks! Appreciate you watching!
I believe the other abrahamic religions would consider this a sacrilege.
Some Jews will take notes in the margins of their bibles. But in general, Muslims and Jews are more fastidious about the physical copies of their scriptures.
Can You please provide a KJV bible for me. I don't have a bible. I can't afford to buy it. But I'm very thirsty to read it. From India.
Let me see what we can do. Please send me an email Stephen.hackett@outlook.com
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews thank you Sir. I just mailed you.
a que secta perteneces?
No pertenezco a ninguna denominación.
@@BiblicalStudiesandReviews espero que sigas así, es una pena tremenda ver como la secta protestante esta dividida en mas de 45 mil divisiones religiosas, y lamentablemente esto sigue creciendo cada día, por su parte la secta católica romana y la secta ortodoxa griega siguen ganando adherentes, espero que mas hijos de Dios despierten y se den cuenta que estas TRES sectas religiosas de ninguna manera tienen la presencia personal del Señor Jesucristo (Mt 18:20).
