Web ID: 16668313Overall, Great Presentation of the King James
I bought this Bible recently, and I like how it seems to have a sturdy construction, it's the perfect size, the font is very comfortable to read (11.6). Words of Christ are in red and it is thumb-indexed. It has book intros, which can be a helpful feature, but upon closer inspection it is quite clear that they were written by someone with no knowledge of the history of the Bible, specifically how the various books were written or compiled, it ahistorically treats every book as a literal historical account, whereas, certain books (like Jonah) are actually fictional stories meant to prove a point. Or it says Proverbs was written by Solomon, because it says it was written by Solomon, but in fact this is unlikely. It consists of a collection of folk sayings that were compiled by scribes over many years. It doesn't talk about the fact that the authorship of most Biblical books is actually a question mark. So if you're not bothered by book introductions that are sorely lacking in historical fact and modern scholarship, this Bible is otherwise perfect if you want to read the King James. Overall, would recommend.
