The King James Bible, made for reading.

God gave His Word, and He has kept it, so that people could read it. Frey Press is a Bible Reader Project: the King James Bible, made as a set for reading God's Word straight  through.

​

Five volumes, bound in plain cloth, from black through grays to white. No symbols and nothing printed on the outside. The only lettering is gold, on the spine.​

​

From Black to White

The five volumes are bound in plain cloth, moving from black through grays to white. That's on purpose. From Genesis to Revelation, God has made Himself known to mankind a little more at a time, through His Word. The set goes from black to white to show that growing revelation, ending in the light of His Son.

​

Chapters and Verses

The Bible was not first written with chapters and verses. Those numbers were added much later to help readers find their place. Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, divided the books into chapters around 1227. Rabbi Isaac Nathan numbered the verses of the Old Testament around 1448, and Robert Estienne, a printer in Paris, numbered the verses of the New Testament in 1551. The Geneva Bible of 1560 was the first English Bible to use both, and the King James translators kept them in 1611. They are a gift to the reader, but the words themselves are God's, and He gave them as one whole.​​

​

Finding Your Place

In this set, chapter and verse numbers are left off the text pages so Scripture reads without interruption. Each volume ends with a chapter index showing the page where every chapter begins.
