A reader's edition of the King James Version of the Bible-
the greatest book ever written.
Reader's editions remove the extra elements found in many Bibles. Chapter headings, subheads, verse breaks, and footnotes can be helpful, but they can also be distracting. Further, such editorial additions, while valuable at times, can also influence our interpretation of the text.
Reader's editions strip away these extra elements and leave the scripture as it was originally written. These editions (sometimes called paragraph Bibles) remove the textual elements that can get between the reader and the revealed word of God.
Reader's editions of some modern translations are readily available. But such editions of the King James Version can be hard to find.
The King James Version (KJV) is the bestselling and most-read Bible in history. It is commonly viewed as the greatest literary achievement in the English language. The King James Version: Reader's Bible gives readers these benefits:
- Complete, unaltered text of the beautiful King James Version
- No distracting verse numbers, verse breaks, footnotes, or study notes
- Logical paragraph breaks and section breaks
- Poetry set in verse form
- Simplified, functional page design
- Two-column pages, which enhance readability
- Readable 9-point Cambria type with ample spacing between lines
- Glossary of archaic or rare words
The King James Version: Reader's Bible will help you to read the story, prophecy, and poetry of the Bible in a new way-the way it was originally produced. This volume will be perfect for devotional reading, extended reading, and discovering anew the overarching message of God's word.
