You Will Love This KJV Study Bible – Review of 3 Holman KJV Bibles
If you are a user of the King James version of the Bible, then I have a treat for you! I am going to review three different King James Bibles for you in this post, including a great KJV study Bible that you will love (and can enter to win up until June 4th)!
So read on and learn more about these Holman King James Bibles!
The King James Bible – Do You Love This Version?
I am a total bibliophile, and this extends to the Bible as well. I love collecting different versions of the Bible, even if I am not the biggest fan of the translation. I do this because it is a good, well-rounded way to study.
I admit that, while my very first Bible as a believer is a New King James Bible (and I still have it 26 years later), I have never owned a King James version of the Bible. So when I got the opportunity from Lifeway to review these three KJV Bibles, I jumped at the chance!
So we are going to look at the three different Holman KJV Bibles; The Study Bible, the Trade Bible and the KJV Bible for Kids!
About the King James Version
According to Lifeway:
The King James Version has been the trusted translation for millions of believers for over 400 years.
Since 1611, Christians have turned to the King James Version of the Bible for a faithful and beautiful rendering of God’s Word. Its rich tradition has guided generations of pastors, authors, and scholars, while its reverent language continues to shape our words today.
The KJV was translated in the beginning of the 1600s. The scholars translating it were among the top scholars of their day, and most were deeply familiar with literature and poetry as well as with theology and ancient languages. They were also intent on creating a translation that would last for generations, so they avoided recent changes to the language, often using words and phrases that sounded formal even then to ensure the dignity and longevity of the translation.
