NASHVILLE, Nov. 19, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Just in time for the holiday season, after nearly 50 years in ministry, writing more than 50 books including several New York Times bestsellers, and founding the largest syndicated Bible teaching ministry in the world, Dr. David Jeremiah is releasing his magnum opus: The Jeremiah Study Bible (Worthy Publishing, November 2013).

The Jeremiah Study Bible is the culmination of nearly five decades of exhaustive study, replete with comprehensive introductions to each of the 66 books of the Bible, more than 8,000 study notes (with embedded cross-references) meticulously compiled by Dr. Jeremiah throughout the years, and hundreds of articles and sidebars designed to steep the reader in additional information and application.

"God's Word is deeply moving and powerful to me," said Dr. Jeremiah. "I envisioned this Bible as a tool to help people understand what the Bible means for them as individuals made in their Creator's image. That's the most important thing, because if people walk away from the Bible and they know what it says and they know what it means, but they don't know how it works in their own life, they will see no change."

Dr. Jeremiah will mark the release of this significant work with a celebration at the storied Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City at 7:00 pm on December 5. Joining Dr. Jeremiah will be award-winning Christian recording artists MercyMe, Kari Jobe, pianist Gordon Mote, worship leader Marshall Hall, and New York's own Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers. For more information about the event, visit DavidJeremiah.org/NewYork.

The Jeremiah Study Bible is built on the New King James Version® of the Bible, Pastor Jeremiah's favorite translation and the one he preaches from every Sunday at Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California. In addition to the introductions, notes, articles, and sidebars, The Jeremiah Study Bible also features numerous charts and maps as well as geographical and archaeological information, a teacher's topical index, a full-length concordance, and additional digital and multimedia resources -- including written material and video introductions and teaching from Dr. Jeremiah -- accessible through QR codes.
