Edited by David Norton, this important scholarly edition presents a revised KJV text based on a thorough evaluation of textual variants in current renderings as well as the extant notes of the 1611 Translators. The text itself is presented in paragraph form, with marginal notes, and adopts modern conventions of spelling and punctuation to make it easy to read and use. The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible was originally published in 2005 in a large format and, like the original King James Bible and successive editions until the nineteenth century, included the Apocrypha. As it has become known in the marketplace, a demand has become become apparent for this Bible in a smaller, more manageable format. Its is therefore now being issued in Personal Size editions, either with or without the Apocrypha. This particular Bible includes the Apocrypha. It is printed on Bible paper, has gold page-edges and two ribbon markers, and is bound in black calfskin leather.

    Reading the Bible in a paragraph format (like you're reading a novel) really opens up the scriptures in a completely new light. Not only do the scriptures flow better, than reading in a verse-by-verse format, any time a letter is read out (like in the Book of Ezra), it's indented, so that it separates itself from the narrative flow from the rest of the passage; as is the case whenever someone sings a song or praises God (1 Samuel 2 and Luke 1-2) and the poetry and wisdom in Psalms and Proverbs (and in the Apocryphal book of Ecclesiasticus) looks just like poetry. Another cool feature is that it even ignores unnecessary chapter and verse divisions in several places, by placing relevant passages together, for a better flow (The chapter division after Acts 21:40 baffles me, so this edition fixes that by connecting Acts 21:40 and Acts 22:1 together. Psalm 98:8-9 is another key example). This is one of the few modern KJV editions that contains the Apocrypha and while the Apocryphal books certainly are not inspired scripture, it's still neat to see a modern KJV edition that contains it, as the Apocrypha was a part of the King James Bible for over 200 years of its publication. Also, to have it in paragraph format is an even rarer feature too. You can buy this Bible without the Apocrypha, if you desire to. One feature that is unique too is that it translates certain KJV words in a way that seems consistent with modern spelling and usage. For example, "shew" "shewing" and "shewed" are spelled as "show" "showing" and "showed" and "thine" and "mine" and changed to "thy" and "my", which actually makes it more consistent in my mind, but without changing the meaning of the text, which I appreciate. It also has the translators to the readers (which more KJV Bibles need to have) and it has the marginal notes from the original 1611 KJV, with extras not in the original in brackets, but without any cross references to other scriptures. Overall, I am super pleased with this Bible. Not only does it look great in paragraph format, the gold-gilt edges around the paper looks very shiny and reflective and has a nice effect, the two red ribbon markers look really cool and they have a nice contrast to the black leather cover, the calfskin leather feels smooth and smells like leather should and it's an overall excellently produced Bible, that clearly took a lot of work and effort to make. If you're looking for a paragraph Bible that has cross-references, a concordance and maps, then the KJV Clarion by Cambridge is the one to go for, as this edition doesn't have those things, but apart from that, this Bible is superb and I'll be reading the rest of the Bible from cover to cover in this format. After that, then I'll read the whole Apocrypha for the first time,
