The MacArthur Study Bible is available in the Legacy Standard Bible translation (LSB). An update to the NASB ’95 completed by scholars from The Master’s Seminary and University, the Legacy Standard Bible is a translation that—at its core—seeks to be a window into the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. By translating individual words as consistently as possible, it allows the reader to discern the Author’s intent.
