And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. 52And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come King James Version to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron.

The Emerald Text Edition is an enlargement of the Royal Brevier – originally created in the mid-twentieth century by Eyre & Spottiswoode, the King’s Printer at the time. Its classic simplicity provides the unadorned text of the King James Version in highly accessible form – light enough to carry easily, but still easy to read. It includes a glossary of 14 pages which explains some of the lesser-known words of 17th-century English, and a 2-year Bible reading plan. It comes with either black-letter text throughout, or with red-letter text for the words of Christ. It is available in hardback, and also in traditional fine leather bindings, with gilt edges, presentation pages and ribbon marker.

The King James Version of 1611 was printed with the Apocrypha, a collection of writings accepted as Scripture by the Roman Catholic CONTENTS Church. They were included in the early Bibles after the Protestant I & II Esdras Reformation, including the Geneva Bible – as Luther said – as ‘books Tobit which are not regarded as equal to the holy Scriptures, and yet are Judith profitable and good to read’. As time went on, printers began to omit The rest of Esther the Apocrypha partly for theological reasons and partly on the grounds Wisdom of Solomon of economy. Ecclesiasticus Today, the Apocrypha are studied by many as aids and additions to Baruch with the Epistle of Jeremiah Scripture, but KJV Bibles rarely include them. To fill that gap, this The Song of the Three Holy Children popular and frequently reprinted Cambridge edition presents the The History of Susanna books of the Apocrypha that were included in the KJV of 1611 in a simple stand-alone volume. Bel and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasses

I & II Maccabees

The Apocrypha (or ‘Deuterocanonical Books’) The Apocrypha (meaning ‘hidden things’) are ancient writings from the 400-year period between the Old and New Testaments. These books were not accepted as part of the Bible when the Hebrew canon was set, but are read by Jews and Christians for edification and enlightenment. The exact list of the writings accepted as authoritative varies across Church traditions. The Roman Catholic Church accepts all but three of these extra writings but refers to them as ‘deuterocanonical’ (of ‘secondary authority’). Eastern Orthodox Churches accept them all, plus a further three.

A traditional King James Bible – an attractive gift for a special occasion. Each Bible is presented to suit one or more ceremonies: for example, the Christening Bible slipcase features a font, while the Wedding Bible is bound to a higher specification and its box shows white ribbons. The Christening Bible includes a baptism bookplate, and the others have a set of four bookplates: one each for a wedding, confirmation and baptism, plus one for other ceremonies.

KJV Gift Editions A Bible or Prayer Book makes a memorable gift for special events such as christenings and weddings, and a Bible given by a godparent or family friend will be kept and cherished long after the ceremony.

Cambridge’s first Pitt Minion Bibles were published in the 1930s. They pioneered a typeface designed by Stanley Morison, typographical consultant to Cambridge University Press and to The Times newspaper. He well understood the need for Bibles to be printed in type that was legible, yet not so large as to make the finished book unwieldy. Getting this balance right is just as important today: our modern Pitt Minion Bibles take their inspiration from the original edition and are greatly admired around the world for being compact and portable, yet still easy to read.They use a digital font that is compact enough for large texts such as dictionaries and encyclopaedias, but which also exhibits the elegance of traditional Bible typefaces.

The Cameo Edition is a classic Cambridge typesetting of the King James Version, originally produced in the 1920s for letterpress printing. The beauty of the Cameo is its solution to the age-old dilemma of providing readable type in a book of manageable size. The Bibles shown here come in a range of binding styles, but the same familiar layout, and original Petit Medieval Clarendon type. The range includes a superb edge-lined goatskin binding with art-gilt edges. One Cameo Bible includes the Apocrypha, just like the King James Bible of 1611. Although these books were included in almost every King James Version Bible for 200 years, they are seldom found in modern editions.

This edition features red-letter text for the words of Christ. The text is compact yet clear, and the Bible has the same layout and pagination as others in the Concord ‘family’ – thorough cross-references, pronunciation marks, a glossary, concordance, dictionary and maps.

➤ available with a thumb index to help find the place

Red-letter Bibles Bibles in which the words of Christ are printed in red, a practice introduced in 1899 by the American publisher Dr Louis Klopsch. In Cambridge KJV Bibles, the direct speech of Christ whilst on earth is printed in red (see the text sample on this page). Other publishers include indirect speech, e.g. the words at the beginning of Revelation.

Two Bibles in one, combining the RV and KJV texts. This setting of the Bible was first published in 1906, more than a decade after the completion of the Revised Version which was at that time expected to supersede the KJV as the standard Bible text. This edition employs an interlinear arrangement that manifests where the two texts diverge. The words common to both versions are printed in regular type; where there is a disparity, there are two lines of smaller type, the RV above and the KJV below. At the foot of the page are the marginal notes of both versions. The cross-references are those of the Revised Version. Appendices show the variant readings preferred by the American revisers, first published in 1898 and incorporated into the American Standard Version of 1901. The Bible is handsomely produced, with a section of lined paper for notes, a reading guide and maps.

The NKJV Wide-Margin Reference Edition is based on the Cambridge NKJV Pitt Minion Reference Edition. It has the same layout and pagination but enlarged text and generous wide margins for the reader’s own insights and notes. The concordance is much more extensive and the Bible is printed on heavier paper. As in all Cambridge Bibles, the pages are sewn for maximum durability and to make the Bible lie flat when open. This edition features red-letter text for the words of Christ, full cross-references, extra ruled pages for notes and 15 maps.

➤ wide margins for personal note-making ➤ goatskin Bible is edge-lined for extra suppleness

The Cambridge NKJV Wide Margin is an excellent Bible for personal study, preaching, and teaching. It’s perfect for laymen, students, and ‘those in ministry.

Cambridge Clarion Bibles are ingeniously designed to deliver a rare combination of readability and portability. They achieve this by using a modern digital font that, like the traditional Bible typefaces of the past, is clear and easy to read even when set in a modest type size (just under 9 point). The generous line spacing also contributes to the legibility. Clarion Bibles have two special features: the Bible text is not divided into columns, but runs right across the page, with the cross-references in the outer margin of the page. They are set in paragraph format, rather than starting every verse on a new line. Both of these typesetting devices make the text very readable and natural. These Bibles incorporate 15 colour maps and a concordance. They are bound in a choice of superior materials: calf split leather, top-grain calfskin and edge-lined goatskin.

➤ single-column setting – reads just like an ordinary book ➤ side-column references – leaving the text clear

To sum up, the Clarion is an excellent Bible that fills a big niche in the Bible market.

The NASB Wide-Margin Reference Edition is based upon the Cambridge NASB Pitt Minion edition. The layout and pagination of the Old and New Testaments is identical, but here the Bible text is enlarged and given the additional benefit of wide margins to enable careful note-making. The Bible is printed on slightly more resilient paper. This edition features red-letter text for the words of Christ, full cross-references, a concordance (more extensive than in the Pitt Minion Edition), extra ruled pages for notes and 15 maps.

➤ wide margins for personal note-making ➤ expanded concordance ➤ available in goatskin binding, 30,5MM edge-lined for extra suppleness

Like trying to hold water in my hands ... that’s what my first experience with the Cambridge Wide-Margin ‘Reference Bible was like. I expected the goatskin cover to be flexible, but this was ridiculous. Ridiculously good, that is. Wherever it wasn’t supported by my hand, this Bible gracefully plunged toward the floor, almost like it was wet. I half expected it to be dripping, but of course it wasn’t. That’s the illusion a fine, flexible binding can give. ’ J. MARK BERTRAND, AUTHOR AND LECTURER, BIBLE DESIGN & BINDING WWW.BIBLEDESIGNBLOG.COM

Cambridge Clarion Bibles are designed to reconcile the conflicting demands of readability and portability. The Bibles are compact and easy to carry, yet the text inside is clear and easy to read, thanks to the use of a font that delivers excellent legibility, even in modest type sizes. Clarion Bibles use two special design devices that make the Bible text very readable and natural: instead of being divided into columns, the text runs right across the page, with the cross-references in the outer margin. Their other characteristic is that they use paragraph format, rather than starting every verse on a new line. These Bibles incorporate a concordance and 15 maps. There is a choice of superior cover materials: calf split leather, top-grain calfskin and edge-lined goatskin.

This one-volume Bible contains the study aids of references, text notes, and concordance. The compact size means that you can take it ‘anywhere with you, without sacrificing readability. The Clarion packs all of this between the covers of a fine Bible that is elegantly and expertly crafted. It combines a single column layout with a fine binding in a reference edition that is both portable and readable. I have not seen any other Bible that is this versatile. ’ KEVIN WATSON, THEOLOGIAN AND AUTHOR, VITAL PIETY WWW.VITALPIETY.COM

Translating directly from the Hebrew and Greek scriptures, he produced a text of enduring quality that became the foundation of successive Bible translations in English from the 16th century to the present day. This edition presents Tyndale’s 1534 revision of the New Testament showing the variants from his original 1525 edition. An introduction by Isaac Foot describes both the huge religious and cultural impact of this text and the importance of the revisions Tyndale made to his own works.
