Concord vs Allan KJV Wide Margin Bibles

[@RGrantJones]

For R.L. Allan Bibles, see www.bibles-direct.co.uk/ . Cambridge Concord KJV Wide Margin Reference Bibles are available from many outlets. Good descriptions of them may be viewed here: evangelicalbible.com/product-category/cambridge-bibles/kjv-2/concord-wide-margin/ . (The Concord KJV Wide Margin Bible that appears in this video is the less expensive edition, in calf split leather.) My review of the Concord KJV Wide Margin Bible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHKrn3ajYrKhmpI .

I had intended to list the following KJV translation differences in the video. Concord WM Allan 5WM Joshua 19.2 or Sheba and Sheba 2 Chr 33.19 all his sin all his sins Jer 34.16 whom ye had set at liberty whom he had set at liberty Nah 3.16 and flieth away and fleeth away Mt 4.1 Spirit spirit Mt 26.39 a little further a little farther Mk 1.12 the Spirit driveth him the spirit driveth him

Your extremely thorough, analytical reviews make my brain happy. Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for the encouragement!

Working through the Allen now, Cambridge will be next. Great review of two great bibles 👍

I have the Navy Wide Margin RL Allan. In the front, it states to be printed on Acid free paper.. HUGE if your into archiving your notes and giving bible away as an heirloom

[@Airik1111bibles]

Love ya brother . An excellent comparison as always .

[@RGrantJones]

Thank you, brother Airik! I had wanted to do this one for a long time, several years at least.

[@glmelsonjr]

Wow! Your voice is relaxing and easy to listen to. Have you thought about reading the Bible and posting them for everyone?

[@RGrantJones]

Thank you for the kind comment. Yes, I've read a few books. kzbin.info/door/Jhb7-L8oXzwra-JFB4_dDw

Thank you for comparing Rolls-Royce with Bentley. I like your videos. Lord bless.

[@RGrantJones]

Thank you for that kind comment!

I have both in Goatskin. The Allen is a nicer Bible, but for the price point.. $360 vs $250.. The Cambridge is the better buy. The text is cleaner and more crisp, the center column references are easier to use and the nearly 90 blank pages in the back give you ample space for sermons, notes, thoughts and insights. I love my Allen, but if I had $400 to spend, I would buy the Cambridge, micron pens, highlighters, and a few commentaries rather than just the Allen

[@MAMoreno]

I see that both of them have the 1611 translator notes, so that's a huge point in their favor. Allan also includes the original chapter summaries, which I greatly appreciate, but that doesn't make up for the absence of "Translators to the Reader," so the Concord has the advantage. I prefer the less cluttered, more modern look of the Concord text, but the Allan text is thankfully missing the self-pronunciation marks. As for the number of references, I prefer quality over quantity on that front. Both of them have their merits. I would prefer an edition with features from both editions. (I would also like for the text itself to be Scrivener's Cambridge Paragraph Bible, but I don't see that happening.)

[@RGrantJones]

Thanks for commenting, M.A. Moreno.

[@dalecaldwell]

Thank you for your continuing informative videos. I am taking advatage of this video to ask you a somewhat off-topic question, but since you seem to have more Bibles than anyone except perhaps Tim Wildsmith, you might be able to answer it. Is there a compact, nicely printed edition of the KJV without notes, wth the words of Christ in black about which you know? My go-to KHV is the New Cammbridge Paragraph edition, and it's just a bit bulkier than I wish. First world problems, eh?

[@RGrantJones]

Thanks for the question, dale. Yes, definitely a first world problem. I prefer reference editions, so I don't have firsthand experience with these TBS KJVs, but perhaps you would find one of them suitable: us.tbsbibles.org/page/storecat01 .

[@dalecaldwell]

@@RGrantJones Thank you. I knew you'd not be clueless.

[@thomasc9036]

Always amazed by how many different versions of the bible there are in English. Due to being required to have a bilingual bible, I am always forced to buy an English-Korean Bible but the quality is severely lacking.

[@RGrantJones]

Can you read it in both languages? If so, that's a very useful skill. Thanks for commenting!

[@thomasc9036]

@@RGrantJones I am fluent in both but the English version is much clearer. In addition, options are limited. Most are 2011 NIV for English but my church and denomination disapprove of it. That leaves just ESV, KJV, and NASB options. KJV is still very popular, but there is only ONE company that ESV and NASB, so you are limited to that. Anglosphere is so blessed to have so many wonderful versions. There is an ongoing battle among many Korean churches to stop producing NIV 2011 as the default English version. Not sure what the results are.

[@RGrantJones]

@@thomasc9036 - that's very informative. Too bad there aren't more quality English-Korean options.

[@thomasc9036]

@@RGrantJones Having two languages forces the Bible is twice as thick, so bindings get damaged easier. I recently changed my mind from CT to MT, so trying to get NKJV, but so far, haven't found any. The strangest thing is that most Korean Christians prefer KJV (not sure why considering the majority can't read it in English anyway) while Korean-Americans, Korean-Australians, Korean-British, or other Anglosphere really don't care.

[@TheJobRelated7]

What is the intro music? Lovely!

[@RGrantJones]

Thanks for the kind comment. That’s “Lord Jesus, Think on Me.” I used a program called MuseScore, which allows you to type in the notes, select instruments, and output an mp3 file. I chose “flute.” I believe the tune is known as “Southwell.”

[@MinnieGreenie]

Hello, new subscriber here. Can you refer to me a good Catholic pocket bible? One that has both the Old and New Testament? Or, if both will be too thick, just the New Testament will do. Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

[@RGrantJones]

Thanks for the question, Minnie! I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don't. The smallest Catholic Bible I know of is the one I reviewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ3FZIKiidt6ldE . It's probably too thick for most pockets, and it may be out of print.

[@MinnieGreenie]

@@RGrantJones Thanks a lot for the quick reply... hmmm okay. Got your point🙂

[@Arkangilos]

Try a Baronius Press Bible Pocket Size, or a Ignatius Press RSV-CE pocket Bible with zipper

[@CANIGAW]

You need to get a Local Church Bible publisher's KJV. Real quality

[@RGrantJones]

I have a few. Thanks for commenting!

[@matthaeusprime6343]

I was wondering. Do you own all the bibles you review?

[@RGrantJones]

No, but I do own almost all of them. Thanks for commenting, MatthaeusPrime!

Hno disculpeme Tengo una HOLY BIBLE inglesa BSBF aqui dice 1611 es la king james o no o es la autorizada?

Helow hno Grant bendiciones!!!! podria ser comparacion entre la Version Autorizada inglesa y la Version Revisada 1881-1885 el libro de Proverbios de Salomon gracias Hno!!!!

[@RGrantJones]

Thank you for the suggestion, Js Almidon! Unhappily, I have much to do, and it may be some time before I could make such a comparison video.

[@ymshao]

Hi Jones, do you know which KJV has 59 or 60 lines per column?

[@RGrantJones]

No, not off the top of my head. Sorry.

[@P-el4zd]

Excellent review. The biggest deficiency with the Allan KJV is they are missing the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books.

[@RGrantJones]

Thank you, Paul. Yes, I wish all KJVs were printed with the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical books - and with the translators' essay.

Jesus loves you! He died on the cross for you. Please, don’t take chances with your soul. Romans 10:9 KJV

[@hassanmirza2392]

I read this on BBC 'Jesus baptism site makeover aims to draw a million Christians in 2030' This is done by Jordan, which also takes care of Christian sites in the Holy Land.

[@RGrantJones]

I suppose the date in view is 2030 because that's believed to be the 2000th anniversary of Christ's baptism.

[@hassanmirza2392]

I think Christ died in year 30 AD, no idea when was he baptized. But his ministry was for around three years, so ministry must have started in 27 AD.

[@RGrantJones]

@@hassanmirza2392 - yes, I've seen both 30 and 33 A.D. proposed for Jesus' death.

[@hassanmirza2392]

By 2070, it will be 2000 years when Jerusalem was sacked by Romans. Will that have any religious significance for the Christians? People should study the era of 66 - 70 AD carefully. I believe, that is how (like 2nd Temple Israelite) a section of radical Muslims behaved after de-colonization post 1950s and how Christian sects behaved in Europe during middle ages and how Germans behaved during 1933 - 1945.
