ItвЂ™s basically the same information it just appears at the end of the book. Rather than having book introductions, the Dake Annotated Reference Bible contains book summaries. Remember that notes are not infallible вЂ“ only GodвЂ™s Word is infallible. Like all study Bibles, I encourage readers to do their own study using multiple passages and study tools with prayer. They include information like the notes found in the text вЂ“ primarily lists, facts, Greek and Hebrew definitions, etc. Isaiah has 39, Daniel has 13, Matthew has 2, Mark has 1, John has 2, Acts has 3, Romans has 3, and Revelation has 13. These are presented in 3 columns per page. Prophecy is a major theme throughout the notes with a focus on the various dispensations.Д®ven more notes are found at the end of each book. The doctrinal focus is Trinitarian, Pentecostal, and old-earth Creationism. Others give longer explanations with references to other verses that use the same word. There are plenty of them throughout the whole Bible.

There are also Greek and Hebrew definitions. It seems like lists comprise the majority of the notes. Other notes contain lists, such as Acts 13:4, which list the 15 places of PaulвЂ™s first missionary journey. There is also information on geography, cultures, customs, etc. ItвЂ™s nice to know how much a shekel is worth in 2013 dollars. 19.вЂќ This gives a chain reference for all the prophecies in Exodus. For example: Exodus 13:5 says вЂњ24th prophecy in Ex. I like the way this system works because thereвЂ™s just one place to look on the page for all of the information you want.ДЄ lot of the notes are factual and include statistics. This makes it easier to find them quickly. The notes appear first and then the references. Rather than having them keyed separately, they both appear in the same location, at the bottom of the page under the same key. Notes and references are keyed to the text by letters. A star indicates a prophecy, a circle shows a command, a triangle shows a promise, and a square shows a message from God. There are symbols in the margins next to some verses. The other type is in smaller text that is centered, numbered, and presented in outline form. The first type is the NKJV section headings in bold. There are two types of section headings within the text. There is a footer that contains the NKJV notes that are keyed to the text by numbers.

There is a header that includes the book name and chapter numbers that appear on that page, a summary of that page, and the page number. Notes are presented at the bottom of the page in three-column format. OT quotes are in oblique type and poetry is set to verse. The text is presented in two-column, verse-by-verse format. The layout is updated to a more modern study Bible style. The red-letter does fade a little but itвЂ™s not bad. The print quality looks very consistent throughout. The Bible text has a 9-point font (9/10) and the notes have a 7-point font.

There are 10 blank pages in the back for writing your own notes. It feels like good quality and the opacity isnвЂ™t bad.

The paper looks like the standard paper found in todayвЂ™s study Bibles. It stays open in Genesis 1 and will lay even flatter once itвЂ™s broken in. Most Bibles are made this way, but due to how large and heavy this Bible is I am concerned about how long it will last. The liner feels like vinyl-covered paper. This is one of the better imitation leathers that IвЂ™ve felt. They both have the title embossed into the cover. The covers of my review copies are both an imitation leather called Leathersoft.
