4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Enough for the Price, January 14, 2008

This Bible is the inspired and preserved Word of God. The text is excellent, and not as hard to understand as most people think. The King James English is poetic and has a melodic quality to it.

Modern translations claim to be more accurate, but solely because they are translated from older manuscripts which are called the Eclectic Text because they were put together from various sources. Older is not necessarily better. The KJV is translated from the Textus Receptus, which is supported by many Byzantine manuscripts that agree. These manuscripts were carefully copied by monks who counted the letters in a verse and in a page when done. If there was the slightest discrepency, they destroyed it. In this way, God's Word was preserved.

We do not have such assurances about the Eclectic Text.

One benefit of the KJV is that when everyone memorizes the same version, it is easier to share scripture. In the past, men who were prisoners of war were able to construct whole books of the Bible by putting together the verses each man had memorized.

The reason I give this only 4 stars is that while advertised as leather bound, it is actually bonded leather --chopped up leather bonded to cardboard. It is a decent cover for the price -- but not actually a genuine leather cover. Also, one of the volumes I bought had a page stuck with glue that ripped when we opened the book.

I have bought around 7 of these bibles. Gave two away years ago and another recently. I have 1 in each of the cars and in a couple different rooms in the house. They are durable and get the job done. I plan to buy more as needed.

Excellent price for an exceptional Bible; we give copies to seniors who have had trouble reading standard print. The Bible is quite popular and we are more then pleased at the quality for the price.
