Synopsis

Older,leather covered Bible. Holy Bible KJV,1952, Collins Clear-Type Press. Printed in Great Britain. 6x4x1 inches, Leather overlaps text by 1/2 inch all around Red edges to pages and a well used ribbon marker. Leather is almost worn through top and bottom of spine. no tears or cuts to outside. Front flyleaf page has edge wear tearing, small Title page is missing right top corner where a name has been cut off. Hand stitched text on page 178 stitches are now visible and I am choosing not to refurbish by gluing. end paper at back is, also ,as with front black. A curved section i s gone from the black flyleaf page and the spine covering seam has , with use, worn itself off.This area also could be glued. Map section has penciled notes on corners. With all flaws I found this remains a nice hand sized bible with wearing leather cover, and nay blue ribbon marker.

About this title

About the Author:

First published in 2001, The ESV Bible carries forward the trusted legacy of the Bible in English - the legacy established first in the Tyndale New Testament (1526) and the KJV Bible (1611). With this legacy as the foundation, the ESV reflects the beauty and majesty of the original languages, first captured centuries ago by these early Bible translations.But the ESV also provides the most recent evangelical Christian Bible scholarship and enduring readability for today. The ESV translation process itself was based on the trusted principles of essentially literal translation - combining word-for-word accuracy with readability and literary excellence.

Review:

`This is a fine, fresh and faithful translation, combining both elegance and accuracy to bring us a version of the bible that is anything but standard. The ESV brings us a text that is both readable yet scholarly. It is quite simply the best version we have today - clear, simple and illuminating`MARTYN PERCY, Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon At last a translation that majors on accuracy, combined with a modern, fluent style. I am confident that in time the ESV will become the standard translation for the English-speaking world.'THE RT. REV. WALLACE BENN, Bishop of Lewes, England `Meticulous care and passionate research make the ESV a crisp, accurate, and valuable translation.'MAX LUCADO, Minister, Oak Hills Church of Christ `The ESV satisfies the preaching memorizing, studying and reading needs of our church, from children to adults.'JOHN PIPER, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota
