Bible study is an important part of a Christian
life. To get _the most out of studying God's Word, you need -
to have a good :Sible. Frequently we are asked which is the
best Bible to purchase.
We recommend, as first choice, that you use the
King James Vers1.on containing the Old and New Testaments,
as your bas1.c study Bible. The Oxford University Press and
Cambridge University Press publish the f1.nest editions of
the King James Version. They are very durable and sturdily
bound with good chain references and concordance and mapa.
Their print serves every age group.
Some people who have weaker vision prefer a Bible
having heavy black pri.nt, large letters, and a center
reference column. A good selecti.on of maps in t 'he back helps
greatly. Such Bibles measure about
6-!-
x
9~
inches and ' serve
beat for home use, A thumb index and pages with relatively
wide margins for making notations are available. A Bible
answering the above general description is made by the
National Bible Press, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is
their Number
452.
These Bibles may be obtained from, or ordered
through, the bookstores.
Concordances which are found in the backs of
Bibles are generally not complete enough and are often not
very helpful in finding scriptures. This should have little
weight
in
your selection of Bi.bles. If you want a concordance,
the small Cruden
1
s Concordance is very popular and may be
purchased for about
$4.00.
Bibles other than the King James Version are some–
times helpful. Their modern word1.ng makes certa1.n sections
clearer than the King James Version. The new Revised Standard
Version and the Moffatt Translation are written
1n
modern
Eng
liB
h and can be uaei'ul
1n
comparing with the
King
James
Versi.on.
Since very few basic textual errors appear in the
King James Version -- though 1.._ is not always a perfect, or
clear translation
it should be used most often for Bible
study.
