Book Reviews of Nelson Classic Giant Print Center-column Reference Bible
Book Review: Excellent general use Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is on Nelson's Reference Edition of the King James translation of the Holy Bible. Without engaging in argument over whether the newer translations of the bible are "perversions", I will just pose that I prefer the original King James Version since it is what I grew up learning with. Many bits and pieces of scripture that are in my personal memory are in King James. Therefore, when attempting to locate a reference using a concordance or electronic bible search, it is always convenient to resort to that version which matches one's word-for-word recollection. I agree that the stilted Shakespearean English can be a bit cumbersome, but this tends to become less bothersome with familiarity.
That said, the biblical text of all KJV editions of the the Holy Bible is identical. So why a Nelson Reference Edition?
I have many copies of the bible around the house (dozens?), in several translations and levels of "helps". My favorite to pick up is my old Nelson's Reference Edition. The size is not too large, including occaisions where I will be traveling with it. I have found the center column references to be "right on". This is not always the case with other publishers. For example, I often find Scofield's references to be a a bit of a stretch, or sometimes plainly disconnected. Nelson's center column translation helps are also desirable.
There is a small, well thought-out concordance and some useful color maps in the rear also. What is lacking of course, is the commentary that would be included in a full study bible. BUT, I have found that such commentaries are often distracting (I feel compelled to read every word). Worse, they are not necessarily truth. I have found that I prefer to use my simple reference Bible. I can turn to separate volumes of bible commentaries or reference books when I need to. Again, with a simple reference bible, one is not getting another person's "opinion" as with a full study bible. (Sometimes it's good to keep the facts and the opinions separated)!
My copy is close to 20 years old and is showing some deterioration. The paper quality is excellent. The bonded leather is fraying at the edges/corners and there is a split at the front hinge. But it has held up well and I consider these relatively inexpensive Bibles to be a good value. This would be an outstanding "first Bible" for an adult.
