In addition it also has some of the notes from the 1967 version, which are not Scofields, and a lot of extra but somewhat handy information along on the pages, in the form of text boxes. So you could not call it a true Scofield, but it is a true KJV.

Even the "Old Scofield" reprints you can find now, since none have been printed since 2003, and are out of print. Have some of the 1967 cross reference links, on the page center coulombs. But other than that the Bibles are exact copies of Scofields 1917 final edition. (his exact page layout unique in Ezekiel, and complete study system)

It is extremely hard to find any Bible today, that the printers could resist adding something modern to. Even the Cambridge Bibles, have been modernized.

The best way I know is to buy a really cheap KJV pew Bible ($5.00), they will have no notes or any cross references, just the Oxford text (hopefully) check it to be sure.

Aloha brother Samuel,

Thanks for the info on the Scofield Reference Bibles. Confusion! Modern day "Christians" just can't leave things alone! They just have to "IMPROVE" and "CHANGE" things - whether it be a dead man's WORK, or the TEXT of the HOLY BIBLE! And if that were not bad enough - they try to "pass-off" their ALTERED work as being the GENUINE ARTICLE!

What you have said about a simple King James Bible is so true. It's so hard to find a Bible without a whole bunch of "helps" in it. One of the best places I have found for locating a King James Bible (minus the "helps") is on e-Bay - where people are selling older (used & unused) King James Bibles; many of which are in good to excellent shape (and many with leather covers), and which are without all of the additional "helps".

One of the most reasonably priced places for brand new King James Bibles is Bible Truth Publishers http://bibletruthpublishers.com/BTP/Default.aspx
They sell only King James Bibles and give excellent discounts on case lots of King James Bibles (Pew Bibles, etc.).
