KJV Holy Bible with Apocrypha and 73,000 Center-Column Cross References, Brown Leathersoft, Red Letter, Comfort Print: King James Version

This is a wonderfully put together Bible that uses a verse by verse format for easy cross-referencing. It is compact enough to be portable yet easy on the eyes (not too small of font). I like the bonus features. Many modern Protestants don’t realize that the KJV used to include the Apocrypha in both the 1611 and 1769 versions as a separate section between the Old and New Testaments. These writings are NOT canonical or considered divinely inspired by Protestants (this Bible is from a Protestant perspective). Rather, these are included as bonus historical literature that was useful for understanding the time between the Testaments as well as how New Testament era Jews interpreted the Old Testament, which was already considered a closed canon. Early church fathers and even Protestant reformers during the 16th century referenced the Apocrypha, so I’m glad today’s Protestants are getting another chance to be familiarized with texts that are better known in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Oddly enough, this edition includes 3 Maccabees, which was not historically included in the old KJV and is only considered canon by the Orthodox Church.This edition has some nice bonus features, including some reading plans and short historical articles, but it is not a study Bible. As a personal copy for Scripture memorization or following a lectionary, this is all around great buy!

A well made Bible, great for the price. Really attractive.As a Protestant convert, I still like to read my KJV with a dramatized audio to help me move along. Having all of the true canon of Scripture, it is frustrating that still after 500 years a true Catholic KJV still doesn’t exist, and a lot if Scripture is divided up in unnatural ways that almost forces a Catholic to move to a Douay-Rheims/ RSV-CE 2nd Edition or ESV-CE.The KJV is still a wonderful translation, even if the publishers make it inconvenient on Catholics.

My go-to! 🤍If you have a Bible without the Apocrypha, so much wisdom is missing!Get this Bible. It's KJV with decent-sized print. Perfect study Bible with the precept references. It also has a 30-Day "Get to Know God" & "Get to Know Christ" reading plan in the back along with maps, and brief descriptions of each book before it starts, to give context.Growing to love the Word of God? Nurture that here.

I purchased 3 as gifts.

Grate love the word

The real deal Bible. Not watered down or taken out of context like most N.I.V. BIBLES

Many Bible Versions are mixed in with this King James Version & are hidden! I never would have realized it, had it not been for the preacher reading what I thought was a different verse. Upon further investigation, I began to compare what was in my KJV Bible App with this Bible, & what a shock! This Apocrypha is heavily altered, especially 1st & 2nd Esdras! But because I really like this Bible & can't yet find any other with the Apocrypha included with the Old & New Testaments, I began to use Wite Out to perform the corrections myself. Now my Bible looks all tacky, plus it is a lot of work because it's so many verses that I've had to completely Wite Out whole chapters! This is not right! So, I was going to keep it, thinking it was just one error, but as I read more & more, it is an innumerable amount of errors, which is not good! You will see the wite out I used to cover their errors & it began to be a tedious process, so I left many sections undone because this is NOT my job, & it should have been done correctly from the start! It almost seems intentional, as today's printing techniques should be updated to catch such errors on a large scale of this! So I would recommend you not to buy, unless the publisher does corrections! I'm going to contact them & see if they can send me a new, correct copy. I have passed the return window, but hopefully, they can rectify this. I will update once they contact me. Also, it seems the Letter of Jeremiah is missing from the Apocrypha in this Bible, as it is included in other Old Testament Apocryphas. I guess the addition of 3rd Maccabees replaced it? I don't know, but I don't like this incorrect publishing & editing. It's deceptive, it's wrong.

Nothing like a good History book
