The Amplified Study Bible Notes
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Grasp the full meaning behind the original Greek and Hebrew texts with the first-of-its-kind Amplified Study Bible Notes
The Amplified translation was created to deliver enhanced understanding of the rich nuances and shades of meaning of the original Bible languages. For this kind of study, no working knowledge of Greek or Hebrew is required—just a desire to know more about what God says in his Word. Now the updated Amplified translation is even easier to read and better than ever to study and understand. It includes more amplification in the Old Testament and refined amplification in the New Testament. Additionally, the Bible text has been improved to read smoothly with or without amplifications, so that the text may be read either way. It’s the same study material that Amplified readers love, now with even clearer wording for deeper understanding.
The Amplified Study Bible Notes features verse by verse study notes. Including over 5,000 concise study notes that provide helpful, practical, application-oriented comments on passages of Scripture and open the Word for readers to apply it to life.

I have not read the notes, which seem geared to life application, which should be a help. However, I do know the Amplified. "Grasp the full meaning behind the original Greek and Hebrew texts" is misleading advertising. For people who are patiently awaiting its release, my counsel is, stay clear of the Amplified Bible. It is based on broad misunderstanding of how language works, let alone who Greek and Hebrew work. It introduces Pick up 3-4 good English Bibles and you will be miles ahead. Take a look at a review from someone who knows languages and linguistics and they will explain why the Amplified is a dead end for the Bible student.

It is now January 2023, this product is designated as ‘In Production,’ and there has been no response from Logos regarding the issue I raised on 18 June 2022 (below) regarding the non-availability of a Logos Edition of the 2015 updated Amplified Bible text on which the Amplified Study Bible Notes are based. Logos staff need to respond to this problem to assist with purchasing decisions. As it stands, the overview provided – that refers clearly to the 2015 updated text – is misleading.Jeff Moss

A print copy of the Amplified Study Bible (2017) includes the 2015 updated text of the Amplified Bible. As usual with Logos Editions of study Bibles, this Logos product includes only the notes from the Amplified Study Bible and not the Amplified Bible text (this makes sense as it allows the Bible text and the Notes to be used side-by-side on Logos). It is odd, however, that the only Amplified Bible product available from Logos is the 1987 edition and not the updated 2015 edition. As the descriptive text above states: "Now the updated Amplified translation is even easier to read and better than ever to study and understand. It includes more amplification in the Old Testament and refined amplification in the New Testament. Additionally, the Bible text has been improved to read smoothly with or without amplifications, so that the text may be read either way." Including this in the promotional material for the "notes only" product infers something that is false. If you purchase these study Bible notes from Logos, you have to use them alongside the outdated Amplified Bible text. This makes no sense to me and detracts from the product. Can anyone explain why the complementary updated Amplified Bible (already seven years old) is not being made available by Logos? On the other hand, maybe I have misunderstood and the updated Amplified Bible text is included with this product. If so, it would be useful for that to be clarified on this page.
