Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible Review
Biblebro Rating Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible Quality 77% Doctrine: (7/10) Pentacostal Notes: (8/10) 35,000 Notes References: (8/10) KJV & NKJV Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible 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.

The author of the study notes certainly made the notes by going straight through a chapter or a book instead of hopping around, sporadically putting notes on certain verses. This became clear to me when I was reading a study bible and saw that notes format of one book was one way, while the format changed in another book. The author of the notes didn’t hop around from verse to verse, so we probably shouldn’t...
