![]() ![]() Here’s an example of a bad reference: The note on 2Chronicles 9:28 incorrectly uses Deuteronomy 17:17 as a reference when it should refer to Deuteronomy 17:16 (1 verse off, but still wrong). The book makes good use of Hebrew and Greek with Strong’s Concordance. The great thing is that if you don’t agree with a study note, you can see his reference verses and judge for yourself what is right. There are probably 10x as many reference verses as there are study notes probably near half a million. Some things he would make several points on throughout the reference bible were: hell and the grave are not the same, God has a spiritual body with all the parts of a human, the Anglo Saxons (white folks) are not Jews from the separated 10 tribes of Israel who are now the Jews replacement, healing and forgiveness go hand in hand, and much more.ĭake rarely makes a note without providing a reference. Overall, the notes are great quality.īeliefs: Healing and other spiritual gifts are for today one can gain salvation and lose salvation God has not picked certain people to go to heaven or hell, but gives them the choice men existed prior to Adam before a flood destroyed the world while Lucifer was the leader of earth and rebelled against God The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are 3 separate people (not the same person).Īgenda: There are times when Dake would try to prove points and it made me feel that he had been in a lot of debates. Am I the first person to read all the study notes and find these typos? It’s also got quite a few typos, but nothing too bad. ![]() Notes for Exodus 1:7 points 2 and 3 are identical, which is something Dake overlooked. On the bad side, Dake has a lot of redundant notes that only repeat what the bible has already said, like the notes for Ezra 9:5 which just restate everything the verse said and gives no more insight. That is good, because the explanations are usually lengthy and detailed. How did he calculate that, by a stop watch? Most verses have study notes, and the study notes are longer than the bible itself. It is said that Dake spent over 100,000 hours in study for preparation for this book. There are over 35,000 study notes that took 7 years to complete. Price: $20-$100 (depending on the size of the book ordered) Information on Dake’s personal life can be found at Wikipedia and. The Dake Bible can be useful as part of an overall study, but due to its strong Charismatic emphasis, it should not be used as a primary study tool.Author: Finis Jennings Dake, however there have been updates, and I can’t find the names of those who have added or edited the study notes. Due to its strong Pentecostal/Charismatic emphasis, there are far better study Bibles available than the Dake Bible. The bottom line is that, like any study Bible, the Dake Bible has its good points and its bad points. Many people like to use several different study Bibles when they do an in-depth study, because each set of notes carries with it the personality of the person(s) who helped edit it. ![]() There are many study Bibles to choose from, and some are better than others. Dake wrote from a Charismatic viewpoint, so the Dake Bible definitely is of that persuasion. ![]() Most Bible scholars consider Dake’s notes to be the personal viewpoints of Finnis Jennings Dake rather than objective or strictly based on the Bible. The Dake Bible itself is an extensive work, with some 35,000 commentary notes and over 50,000 cross references, using the King James Version as its basic text. He later joined the Church of God but in later years became independent of any denomination. As a result of a criminal conviction, his ordination as a pastor with the Assemblies of God was revoked.
