Summary: An Update to Authorized Version
Comment: I received this English version of the Bible (fifth edition 1999, leather, easy to read print, direct words of God in red, not only words of Christ - an enlightening experience) in January. I have been using it as my Bible to read through in a year (presently nearing the end of 2 Kings, but have read some Psalms and many portions of New Testament). Mr. Green encourages readers to submit suggestions for improvement, which he then incorporates, as appropriate, into later editions. This is truly a grassroots, shoestring effort, which may be the best available Bible in modern English today. The only other candidate is Mr. Green's LITV.

This version stands on the three pillars which I personally require in an English version: 1) Bible believing/evangelical translator, 2) Formal equivalence method (translate the words, not the thoughts - necessary for verbal, plenary inspiration to have any true meaning), 3) use of the traditional/historical texts of the Old (Masoretic) and New (Byzantine/received text) Testaments (i.e., God has preserved his word down through the ages).

The only problem I have with this edition (fifth) is the implementation of the red letter concept. Often the printer has made obvious errors in what should be red and what should be black. The quality of the translation and clarity of expression overcomes this minor inconvenience.

Update: I completed reading the whole book in December 2000. All my earlier comments still apply. The large print is easy to read for someone like me who uses bifocals. Perhaps the red letter concept should be dropped in future editions since the implementation is difficult. This is a text only translation without cross-references or other aids.

Update of September 2002: I have found it difficult to continue to recommend this version because of the harshness of the language contained in the introductory pages. Also, I have not found it necessary to use a modern English Version. Once one begins reading on a regular basis from the AV/KJV the supposed defects of language disappear. A dictionary normally solves any problems, or original language helps which are readily available.

Summary: Back In Stock!
Comment: The new edition is back in stock from Sovereign Grace Publications, with larger print, and the first true red-letter edition that I have ever seen: the Words spoken by God are in red letters, in both Old and New Testaments... this is a beautiful Bible, in full leather, and for anyone who loves the King James Version. I could not recommend any better version! Get it!

Summary: Every Authorized Version lover should own this!
Comment: Having always been an Authorized Version kind of guy (hey, how DID King James get his name on this, anyway?), but knowing that my children just don't "brey" as often as one might suspect, I wanted a version that would deliver what the NKJV did not: an accurate representation of the Authorized Version. This is it. Order it, and be blessed!Peter Hyatt
