The Dake Annotated Reference Bible

I have heard from a co-worker about a reference called The Dake's Bible and I'm wondering if anyone has read it or has seen it. I guess it has the English and original biblical text (Greek, Hebrew, not sure if it has any Aramaic translation), which gives deeper insight to the word of God. I would like to purchase it but I want to make sure it's a legitimate source. I trust WELS pastors because I know how well educated you are in God's word and in Greek and Hebrew (I went to MLC and attended WELS churches most of my life). Thank you for your time and I look forward to any insight you have for me! Your sister in Christ.

Rev. Finis Jennings Dake was the author of The Dake Annotated Reference Bible. The publishers of that work describe him and his work this way: “Dake was Pentecostal in terms of his spiritual experience and beliefs, and The Dake Annotated Reference Bible has been dubbed ‘The Pentecostal Study Bible.’ While such a label accurately assesses Dake’s position when dealing with relevant portions of Scripture, it is somewhat limiting as well. Dake’s true passion was providing a dispensationally systematic perspective on biblical prophecy. “

That description is enough for me to say that you will want to look elsewhere for a reliable study Bible.

The Lutheran Study Bible would serve your purposes well, as would the extensive The People’s Bible series.
