Note: This is a repurposed video post from my YouTube #bible review channel. I like to add this content ot the blockchain to make sure it has a home online for ever!
Every now and again, it's great to go hunting for deals on bibles. Which is how I came into possession of this brown genuine leather Thompson Chain Reference bible.
And being inspired lately to actually dive into this legendary study bible, I thought it was a great time to review it. I purchased this for dirt cheap and didn't really find any issues with it. I do think however the ISBN is incorrect on it, which is why it was in the bargain bin.
The ISBN for this one should be 978-0310459262 but it's listed as 978-0310459255. This is the indexed version, and not the regular version which the stamped ISBN reads. Here are the features though for the bible:
Complete text of the King James Version (KJV)
Easy-to-understand chain-reference system with over 100,000 references
Alphabetical and numerical indexes highlight study materials for over 8,000 topics, each with its own topic number, for exhaustive topical study
An extensive study resource section includes biographical sketches, illustrated studies of the Bible, a concordance, Bible harmonies, and many other helpful study tools
Fresh, two-color page design
66 book introductions
16-page full-color map section with map index
Line-matched text for enhanced readability
Words of Jesus in red
Presentation page for gift-giving
Raised spine hubs
Two double-sided satin ribbon markers, each 3/8-inch wide
Genuine calfskin leather cover lies flat when open, and it's edge lined!
Thumb indexed to make finding the books of the Bible easier
Exclusive KJV Comfort Print typeface
Print size: 9.5 (I mentioned 10.5 because that's what was listed when I searched for it online as it didn't come with a box.)
Overall, this thing is incredible. And the calfskin leather cover is just immaculate. For what I paid, this could potentially be the best bible for the price I've ever owned. It's truly a legendary way to study Scripture.
