This volume is a JST Red-Letter edition of the KJV of the Old Testament. The purpose of this rendition is to provide a KJV reading that integrates the JST in line. Readers do not need to refer to footnotes, appendices, or another column to find the JST alterations since they appear in line, highlighted in red, within the KJV text itself. The single-volume hardbound edition includes book headers, but not the text, for the 13 Old Testament books that Joseph Smith did not modify.
Those familiar with other red-letter editions of the KJV, will recognize the format. Words printed in red in those bible editions, were spoken by the Savior in the first person. They were generally confined to the four Gospels. However, rather than highlighting text in red when the Savior speaks, this rendition highlights in red the changes made by the JST. When altered by the JST, all original KJV text, verses, and chapters are retained, but highlighted in blue and given a strike-through.
