The Old Testament Hardcover – International Edition, 31 October 1996

I did a review with pictures of the NT that these guys did also. It’s set like a book, no cross references or study notes, zero of them. It’s just the words of the Bible in there. Which is very good if you’re looking to just read and not have to look at numbers above each word

I bought this specifically for the language.Though it turns out to be "half" translated to new english.Words like "hath" and "thou" are still there, but "yeeld" and "thicknesse" become "yield" and "thickness".Otherwise it's The Bibble though, so I guess that is fine. But I'm still disappointed. Specifically because I had no chance of informing myself beforehand, since there are no excerpts.If there were excerpts, this would have been a 4 star rating. But uploading a book without excerpts is just lazy beyond the reasonable.

Every Word of God is truth. The Old Testament reflects not just events from the past, but that which was in the past put in the right perspective will parallel with what is happening in our modern day history, if one keeps an open mind. Seeking God about what happened is the past is very relevant to seeking God to what is happening in the present which determines what happens in the future, and when both the Old and New Testaments are read to be understood, then this book will help the reader to understand history from the start of creation until the end of time.

Beautifully printed, very clear and easy to read text. The introduction by George Steiner is fascinating. Although not Jewish I have long been fascinated by the writings of the Old Testament. In theological terms my opinion is that the theology of the Old Testament takes us closer to understanding the divine purpose than any other set of religious writings. This finely produced volume does justice to these ancient and profound texts.

It makes it so much easier to read in this layout. I have both the Old and New Testaments of these books and they are now my preferred Bibles to read. And best of all it is The King James version! If you have trouble reading the King James version try this bible, it will make a real difference.
