Red Letter edition, with all translations out of the "original tongues" diligently compared and revised.
Also provides helpful lists, including "strange facts", "character analysis" and "doctrines".
Contains a Synopsis of each book and letter. Very useful historical Timeline. Detailed "Cyclopedic index" of topics, and a Concordance.
The translation is the "beautiful" King James version. A brief account is made of its appearance in the court of this English King and murderous Pederast. Entirely omitted is the much this King's documented taste for children, an unknown number of whom he killed "in the course" of his intercourse. This well-known homosexual leaves his name on our "authorized" version. ( )
The mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, doom of sinners, and happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be saved, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you. it is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its Grand Subject, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given to you in life, will be open at the Judgement and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor, and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents.
Dedication
First words
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Quotations
If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32)
