The New King James Bible (NKJV)

$15.95

The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the “Authorized Version.” Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better “readability.” It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the “Western” or “Byzantine” manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.

Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely modern edition of the King James Version that would continue the classic tradition of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translators applied the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies. The resulting work provides today’s Bible reader with an accurate and modern translation of the Scriptures with the stylistic beauty and memorable quality of the King James.

What a blessing

Anyone who is a follower of Christ and desires to strengthen their commitment to Him must learn as much about Him as they can. TheWord Bible software is one of the best ways I have found to do that. It's hard to believe that this valuable software is made available to anyone free of charge. Even the price of the purchased software is most reasonable. I believe the Lord has helped to make this software freely available to anyone who is interested in knowing Him. We are commanded in scripture to "grow in grace and the knowledge of Christ". This is one of the best ways I know of to do just that. Thank you for making this software freely available to all. Be blessed.
