I might have to get both. One seems a little more "liberal" and the other conservative.

The Oxford Study Bible is a lot more objective and historical if you get my meaning...it's a critical examination of scripture. The "more conservative" Bible you mean, the notes are probably more devotional rather than critical analysis. I've got the Oxford Annotated NRSV Bible fifth ed. and I love it, personally.

Maybe as far as the translation (KJV v. NRSV) but as far as the secondary materials go the Oxford is fine. Read the Oxford for study and the KJV for pleasure.

Also check out Northrop Frye's The Great Code and Words of Power. His lectures are on YouTube but you can find them with their supplemental materials on one of the University of Toronto's library websites (you can Google it easily).

This. KJV for literature. A modern annotated and commented bible for study. Unless you're in your 40s and "get" it. In which case let us talk about the cock-sucking bullcalf cult, and how it conquered the Asherah and became a literary critical society of levite scribes so in denial of their homosexuality that they obliterated women from their records.
