The Interlinear Bible RV / KJV Black hardback imitation leather AVRV1 (King James Version and the Revised Version) [Imitation Leather]

Bible (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 10, 1994 | Series: King James Version and the Revised Version

The Interlinear Bible is really two Bibles in one. It combines the King James Version of 1611 with its first authorised successor, the Revised Version of 1885. The usual method for comparing two translations is to print the text in two parallel columns. In the Interlinear Bible, where the two texts are identical, only one line of type appears. Where there is any deviation, the RV is given as an upper line of smaller type, and the KJV as the lower line. This method immediately indicates where variations exist, yet it is possible to read either version with ease. • text of the KJV and the RV combined • cross-references from the RV • footnotes from the KJV and the RV • alphabetically arranged blank index pages • Bible Companion (a reading guide for each day of the year) • 64 pages of ruled paper for the reader's notes • 16 pages of colour maps and a map index • list of variant readings preferred by the American Standard Version translation committee

Editorial Reviews

Book Description

The Interlinear Bible is really two Bibles in one. It combines the King James Version of 1611 with its first authorised successor, the Revised Version of 1885. This edition includes the highly-respected cross-references from the Revised Version, which are considered to be among the finest ever produced. It also carries the footnotes from both versions, giving at times four different renderings of difficult passages.

This review is from: The Interlinear Bible RV / KJV Black hardback imitation leather AVRV1 (King James Version and the Revised Version) (Imitation Leather)

I would only add a few things to the previous review:

1) that the Revised Version is the closest thing to the Greek you'll see in English, even more so than the New American Standard (which was based on its American Printing, the ASV).

2) You can reconstruct the ASV from the changes list supplied in the helps. There are not that many changes.

3) This translation is also accompanied by extensive cross-references, which are not just lists of verses as they are in every other Bible, but they have semantic tags attached:

a) no tag means exact or close parallel;
b) "Cited" or "Cited from" means actual quotation;
c) "Cp." means references, when the parallel is less exact;
d) "See" means either a passage where the main references have been collected, like the NIV Cross-Reference System does it, or it means a longer passage, parallel or explanatory;
e) "al" means all the parallels are not given;
f) "?" is placed after a reference which may or may not be applicable;
g) "mg" refers to references to marginal readings

In addition, the references are given in a certain order:
1. Quotations or exact verbal parallels;
2. Passages with similarity of idea or expression;
3. Explanatory or illustrative
4. Historical or geographical
5. Illustrating differences of rendering from the KJV

So if you like the NAS cross references, or the NIV cross references, I believe you'll like these even more.

4) There are other fun things in this Bible; a through-the-Bible calendar you can use in a one- or three-year format; blank note sheets of high quality paper; wide margins!
