The Evidence Bible is much more than a Bible. It is a primer, study guide, historical and current events companion reader, treasury of quotations by Christian thinkers and others - but most importantly it's an encyclopedia of orthodox Christian defenses of the faith (apologetics). Ray Comfort tells how The Evidence Bible came to be: "Much of my commentary on evangelism is drawn from my experiences open-air preaching almost daily for 12 years at 'Speaker's Corner' in the city of Christchurch, in my native New Zealand. Hecklers would often ask probing questions about my faith and post numerous objections to the gospel message I preached. During those years, I collected information that successfully rebuffed them, and wrote it in the front of my Bible. My trusty and 'pregnant' Bible was the mother that gave birth to the Evidence Bible." The Evidence Bible is also available in a handsome leather-bound edition. 1599 Geneva Bible (Hardcover) The Geneva Bible, printed over 200 times between 1560 and 1644, was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This superb translation was the product of the best Protestant scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers, thinkers, and historical figures of that time. Men such as Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible, and it was reflected in their writings. .

Happy 400th birthday to the KJV! This year marks the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. To mark this milestone in Christian history, the WND Superstore has a broad selection of "Authorized Version" editions on sale this weekend. Why is this Bible so significant? Before even discussing its centrality for the faith of English-speaking Christians for over four centuries, we must recognize the King James Bible as a cultural artifact like none other. It's influence on the English language has been immense. At the time King James I called for a new "Protestant" translation, there was discussion in learned circles about whether a language as crude as the English of the time was even sufficient to convey Christian truths. Soon after it was published, many Catholics typically read it because it was more readable than the Catholic Bibles of the era. But when you open your King James Bible, what you have before you is much more than a "version" of Holy Scriptures. You have a surprisingly direct link to the words and ideas of the individuals who carried out the Protestant Reformation. There's an edition for every need this weekend as we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible! Click here to see the great discounts in the WND Superstore. In fact, we ought to think of it as the "Reformation Bible" because it's pedigree so directly stems from the great reformers of the 16th century. A key mandate to the translating committees who began work in 1604 was to "stand on the shoulders of giants" and refer to previous English Bible translations circulating at the time. Thus, the translation finally published in 1611 was the culmination of a trajectory begun hundreds of years earlier, even predating the work of John Wycliffe in the 1400s. In the end, the translation work by William Tyndale between 1522 and 1530 comprised the most substantial individual influence on the final draft of the New Testament. During his various flights from the authorities, Tyndale spent time with Martin Luther in Germany and with the Protestant community in Switzerland. Tyndale referred primarily to Erasmus' "Received Text" version of the Greek New Testament, as well as the Luther's Bible, the Latin Vulgate and other sources (Tyndale completed only a portion of the Old Testament). Tyndale's translations formed the basis for all of the English language "Protestant" Bibles available to King James' committees: the Tyndale Bible, Great Bible, Geneva Bibles, Matthew Bible and Bishop's Bible. Start your Christmas shopping early with big discounts on King James Bibles at the WND Superstore! There were some revisions to the text following 1611. Notably, the unfortunate "Wicked Bible" of 1631 contained the misprint "Thou shalt commit adultery." Few editions survived, and that publisher's business suffered dramatically. However the changes to the King James Version (KJV) over the next 100 years consisted mainly of piecemeal updates to spelling and punctuation. When you read your King James Bible, therefore, you are practically "looking into the eyes of giants" - because the words on the page are passed down, largely unaltered, from the thoughts and phrasings of people either integrally involved or no more than one generation removed from the major events of the Reformation. The passages in your KJV are precisely those read, spoken and sung by English-speaking Christians from the final years of the Renaissance through the Industrial Revolution, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, the peopling and expansion of the United States, and the spread of Protestant Christianity from America - the world's only Protestant-born nation - out to much of the globe. Yes, there are those who say the KJV is written in archaic English and hard to read. But actually less than 30 words defy easy comprehension for modern readers. Many study guides and online resources can quickly bring you up to speed on those terms. To get you started: Cruse - a utensil, a flask or cup for holding water Cubit - lower arm, 20.24 inches Distaff - circle, instrument used for twisting threads Firkin - about 8 7/8 gallons Froward -turning back to one's own ways, backsliding Learn about 18 more of those and you are basically good to go as a reader of the King James Bible. And what a shame it would be to forego the majesty and immutability of the overall text for a few archaisms, when so many excellent study aids are available! (Plenty of KJV "reference" editions have all the resource materials and notations you'll ever need built right in, and with a few keystrokes you can find all you need to know on the Web). After all, this is the book that helped shape the very thought patterns of Western civilization. As Professor Leland Ryken of Wheaton College recently wrote: "For more than three centuries, the King James Bible provided the central frame of reference for the English-speaking world. Former Yale University Prof. George Lindbeck well claims that until recently 'Christendom dwelt imaginatively in the biblical world.' During the years of its dominance, the King James Bible was the omnipresent force in any cultural sphere that we can name - education (especially childhood education), religion, family and home, the courtroom, political discourse, language and literacy, choral music and hymns, art and literature. For more than two centuries children in England and America learned to read by way of the Bible."
