 God, The Complete Works (Authorized Version) October 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A Zondervan Corp sales person with an overstock of new NIV Bibles to sell may tell you, "Do not listen to the 'KJV-Only!' crowd." He may tell you that King James I of Great Britain was "a flaming, red-haired homosexual Scot who nearly every weekend buggered the members of his own Privy Council."
Okay, maybe that's true. But should we therefore suspect that a flaming "King James Version Only" man, such as the Rev. Marion "Pat" Robertson, is homosexual as well? I think not! I cannot believe that Pat Robertson is a closeted gay just because he strongly prefers the so-called "Sodomy-tolerant" KJV. That Pat suffers from a deep homosexual panic about the very possibility of closeted gayness? Okay, sure. But can you blame him? How would you like to have spent your puberty and Saturday nights in the dorms and closets of an all-boys military school in Tennessee if you were a cute teenaged, sexually ambiguous, youth named "Marion"? Truly, if the atheists and homosexuals of this world knew one tenth of what the bullies at that military school put him through, such as the nickname, "Minnie Mouse," then I think they'd better understand Pat Robertson's passion to "ride with the king" - with King James, that is!
But let me add this, in Pat's defense: if King James and Pat Robertson should ever meet in Heaven, it will not be Marion "Pat" Robertson who is the first one to say, "Tickle me Elmo!" I know Pat well enough to vouch that he would never ask another man to tickle his elmo; or another woman, for that matter. If anyone tickles Pat Robertson's elmo, it will be Pat himself.
Besides, King James did not personally translate the "King James" Version. As the King of England, James merely put up the cash for the fifty British scholars who did the actual work - most of whom, granted, were gayer than Truman Capote on a spring day in Amsterdam. That interesting historical fact may explain why the allegedly "homo-tolerant" Authorised Version goes easy on the biblical heroes, David and Jonathan, and on the prophet Daniel, and the apostle John; but it can shed no light on the Marion Pat Robertson mystery, nor will the behavior of those fifty dissolute KJV translators ever get Pat to change his position. For one thing, they're dead. Seriously, in these "end times," when Jesus could be returning at any minute, it would be a mistake for English readers to reject the Authorised Version of the Bible simply on whatever nagging doubts they may have concerning the Jacobean nature of Rev. Pat Robertson's concealed sexual proclivities.

The content is great. My first copy had a mistake in the printing. there were two books of the bible that were mixed together. The second copy had pages falling out after 1 week of use. Wish the quality of the actual book manufacturing was better because the material format is great.
A great way to study God's Word April 27, 2008
Love the KJV along with solid explanations! Nelson is very thorough!Everyone should read this book and heed to it's instructions!
How to read and understand what the Bible really says. April 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Reading any Bible is usually considered a chore rather than an opportunity. As I see it, the meanings and word of God as written to match word for word in translation to English is difficult for any reader to understand in terms of present day language flow. Gathering true meaning of every verse is open to individual interpretation which turns Bible readers off. Having a Bible like this one that provides the collective insight of many Bible experts at the bottom of each page lends credibility and reliability to the actual meaning and interpretation. And that not only offers the reader interesting thoughts and insights to what they have just read, but also draws attention and memory excitement to what they have just read.
Readers remember more, are much more interested in what's next, and pay more attention when the footer clears up the confusion they have. Starting out by reading a Bible formatted without any outside coaching usually is put aside by the time they get to "Numbers",if not sooner, and never get back to reading it again. Adding some coaching at the bottom of each page is what this King James edition offers and is an incredible motivation for anyone to read the whole Bible--not just the first 50 pages.
The second great understanding is the recognition that the Bible is not meant to be read only once. With every trip through the Bible one gathers knowledge of more in-depth meanings to everything said there. At that time those readers are then able to follow God's desires and apply them much more appropriately to their own lives. I've not found a Bible format that does it any better than this Bible.
