The Holy Bible

The dust jacket of this 1966 hardcover edition is worn, with noticeable tears along the edges. The binding remains strong, ensuring the book's durability. There are no inscriptions or library markings, and the pages show typical aging for a book of this vintage.

This edition of "The Holy Bible," published by the American Bible Society in 1966, presents the revered King James Version. Originally set forth in 1611, this version has been a cornerstone of English-speaking Christianity. The American Bible Society, based in New York and instituted in 1816, has a long history of making the scriptures accessible. This hardcover edition contains both the Old and New Testaments, translated out of the original tongues and diligently compared and revised. While the book is not a first edition of the King James Version, it represents a significant mid-20th-century printing by a notable publisher. The condition of the dust jacket is worn, with some tears along the edges, but the binding remains intact, making this a valuable addition for collectors of religious texts or those interested in mid-century religious publications.
