Which Bible?
 

I have been looking for a different bible,and came across the old scofield in Black Leather and thumb tabs with the 1917 notes,listed below:

Is this the right scofield to buy? there are so many,and what i have heard the new scofields have been revised.
any suggestions?

I believe you can't go wrong with an Old Scofield; it's just the New Scofield that's been revised and therefore isn't completely Scofield since he died in 1921.

I actually just got that same Bible, only without the thumb tabs.

Yep, that's the real Old Scofield. Or, if you want a Scofield with wide margins you can get one HERE. Not sure what you're using now, but have you looked at a Thompson Chain?

1917 version is a good one. My hard cover version is about 25 yrs old now, and the print 'shrunk' ;) on it, but I still refer to it for my notes in the margins.

Don't'cha just hate it when that print shrinks? :p

Thanks everyone for the response. I have looked at the Ryrie,Dake and the Thompson chain,for right now i am going with the scofield,later on when i get a giant print Bible (because the print shrinks) i will look into these others as well.:)

I keep hearing about this. Could someone explain what they mean by the print shrinking?

Peace and Love,

People have difficulty seeing the print as they get older. ;) This way they blame the print instead of admitting they're getting older. :p

Isn't that where the term "fine print" comes from? :p

Read the fine print? Well I would, but I can't see it............:D

Ahh, hehe, well I assumed as much. But I hasn't ruled out the possibility that these Scofield's used shrinking ink either, thus I had to ask. :p

Peace and Love,
