Summary: Deep in The Heart of Textus (Receptus)!
Comment: This book, the entire Bible in the original languages, with an interlinear English translation, as well as a marginal literal translation, and Strong's numbering over the original language words, is a welcome addition to the library of any sincere student of God's Word. I think this is the first complete Bible, Hebrew & Aramaic as well as Greek scriptures, in interlinear format with marginal translation.
I love this book for Bible study. I can see what the original language states, and using Strong's system, I can then go to a lexicon and research the meaning of the original word. Like many students of the Bible, I am skeptical of paraphrased and other translations that take liberties with the Biblical text. Green obviously has a deep respect for the Word of God, and doesn't play loose with wording while translating.
While I have heard that Westcott & Hort's Greek text is more accurate than the Textus Receptus that Green used here, I consider that a minor point.
The drawbacks that must be mentioned: The single-volume edition, which I have, is large and unwieldy, with tiny print that can strain the eyes if used extensively. At least the print quality is good - very crisp and clear. There is a 4-volume edition, but it can be rather costly. Eventually I'll probably invest in one, 'though. One point I question: the inclusion of "a few readings" from the Latin Vulgate which the author clearly states are NOT considered as "true scripture", but which are included anyway, with the appendix serving as "corrective" - WHY? I'm of the opinion that if its not true scripture, it doesn't belong in with the inspired canon.

Summary: good for reference but....
Comment: All things considered, I like this Bible very much and have no regrets about buying it. The Amazon discount makes it more affordable than it would be otherwise. It's very handy and helpful for looking up things, especially when you don't want to pull out that great big lexicon!
There are two columns of Hebrew/Greek text on each page with Strong's numbers above each word. The English equivalents for the words are below. On the left of each Hebrew/Greek interlinear column, there is a narrow column with English text (the translation used is _The Literal Translation of the Bible_).
Now, for the "but" part. The size of the print is quite small, so the vowel marks and the accent marks can be *really* hard to distinguish. This is especially true of the Hebrew.
So, in conclusion, I would recommend getting this if you can afford it. It's wonderful for reference. But even if you do have this, you most likely will want to get the full (non-interlinear!) text of the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament.

Summary: JP Green Does an Excellent Job
Comment: Based on the Textus Receptus with great references this interlinear is an excellent addition to any serious Biblical Studies Library. The basis being TR is very important because it gives the sense of scripture from that text.
Some feel that the Revised Version is more accurate and the debate will continue for decades, yet to have this tool for TR/KJV only studies is very informative. Too many will miss out on the importance of this book because it is KJV. However, whether you believe the TR is the correct text or the Revised, this is a must in your library. You can compare to the Strong's numbers, however, remember that Strong's tends to be influenced by Classical Greek definitions and not the koine.
I feel George Ricker Berry's translation is very helpful and it is much less expensive and without the Strongs reference is still a great buy. However, to round out your library, get both.
