This translation is rooted in the work that was done with the Revised Version (RV). In 1870, an invitation was extended to American religious leaders for scholars to work on the Revised Version project. A year later, 30 scholars were chosen by Phillip Schaff. These scholars began work in 1872. In 1901, The American Standard Version (ASV) was published. It has earned the reputation of being a rock solid translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.

This text edition of the HCSB has been optimized for easy reading on digital devices. Free from the visual clutter of footnotes, cross reference, and other links, this edition is fast to navigate and easy to use.

The HCSB was developed by 100 scholars and English stylists from 17 denominations, who prayerfully translated what is one of the most significant Bible translations available today. The HCSB reflects linguistic advances in vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and formatting while it retains meaningful theological terms. In the HCSB you'll find God's personal name (Yahweh), the use of "Messiah" in the New Testament, and the use of "slave" in the New Testament, just to name a few examples. Also, you'll notice the contemporary speech patterns in the HCSB mean that words like "behold" and "shall" are not used. Instead, words or phrases that are common today can be found in their place.

The HCSB employs a first-of-its kind translation philosophy known as Optimal Equivalence, which seeks to achieve an optimal balance of literary precision and emotive clarity through a comprehensive analysis of the text at every level. This process assures maximum transfer of both words and thoughts contained in the original.

Why is this King James Bible the best one for the Kindle?

VERSES ARE PARAGRAPHED
This format contains paragraphing of the Bible verses. For a verse-by-verse offering, see the KJV Bible ASIN: B005C16286.

EVERY VERSE IS SEARCHABLE
Simply type the first three letters of a book and the verse number and go. For instance to jump quickly to John 3:16, you type "joh3.16" and hit enter. Easy as that!

ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE IN THE BIBLE
Because each and every verse is labeled, there is no guessing or scrolling around to figure out where you are.

BEAUTIFUL FORMATTING
Proper verse spacing and the fact that every verse is put in superscript makes this Bible easy on the eyes.

FULLY FEATURED TABLE OF CONTENTS
The TOC appears both at the beginning of the Bible and at the beginning of each chapter, which means less scrolling around to get to where you want to be.

We strive to put out the best formatted books for the Kindle. Let us know if you have any questions or comments as we actively read the reviews to constantly improve this book.
