Ha! Starting a movement!

Well, at least Cindi and I are on board. She just got her new Bible: KJV with Apocrypha and all the original King James textual notes. It’s a really lovely edition. She saw how much I loved mine and decided to get one for herself. 

It’s a pricey little volume, but I’m planning on it being the last Bible I’ll ever use. It’s the perfect size. And quite easy to read. I love the old familiar words, the careful attention to Greek and Hebrew (evidenced in the notes) and the use of italics to show when they’ve added words to make sense in English. 

I’ve had mine now for over a year and I read it according to the schedule that was published in the original KJV, sadly not included in this volume. I’ve got a spreadsheet of it, though, if anyone wants a copy, give me your email.

Anyone else want to go back to the Authorized Version? 

Here’s where we get them:

I would love that spreadsheet Pastor Weedon! And yes, I would be all for a switch back to the AV! I recently acquired a KJV w/apocrypha from the 1950's, and I treasure it. Other than the Cameo which you have, they are, unfortunately, getting hard to find. Thank you for your work and God Bless!

You’ll need to give me an email!

P.S. I won’t publish the email. I’ll just send you the spreadsheet with it!

I love it because it’s overwhelmingly accurate (especially when you take into account the marginal footnotes of the original, which are almost all translational issues). I do happen to believe that the Holy Spirit preserved the majority text and I’m entirely comfortable with that.
