Concord vs Allan KJV Wide Margin Bibles
A video comparing the Concord KJV Wide Margin to the R.L. Allan 5WM. Both include the text of the King James Bible in the 66 books of the Protestant canon. Both include wide margins all around, center column references, and text and translation notes.
The R.L. Allan 5WM has a smaller font (8 pt) which is sometimes broken; heavier (45 gsm), more opaque paper; more marginal area per verse; fewer lined pages for note-taking; and far more center column references; but it lacks a concordance and the 'Translators to the Reader.'
The Concord KJV Wide Margin has a larger, cleaner font (8.7 pt); lighter (38 gsm), more transparent paper; less marginal area per verse; more lined pages for note-taking; and fewer center column references; but it includes a concordance and the 'Translators to the Reader.'

Thanks for the kind comment. That’s “Lord Jesus, Think on Me.” I used a program called MuseScore, which allows you to type in the notes, select instruments, and output an mp3 file. I chose “flute.” I believe the tune is known as “Southwell.”
Always amazed by how many different versions of the bible there are in English. Due to being required to have a bilingual bible, I am always forced to buy an English-Korean Bible but the quality is severely lacking.

@@RGrantJones I am fluent in both but the English version is much clearer. In addition, options are limited. Most are 2011 NIV for English but my church and denomination disapprove of it. That leaves just ESV, KJV, and NASB options. KJV is still very popular, but there is only ONE company that ESV and NASB, so you are limited to that. Anglosphere is so blessed to have so many wonderful versions. There is an ongoing battle among many Korean churches to stop producing NIV 2011 as the default English version. Not sure what the results are.

@@RGrantJones Having two languages forces the Bible is twice as thick, so bindings get damaged easier. I recently changed my mind from CT to MT, so trying to get NKJV, but so far, haven't found any. The strangest thing is that most Korean Christians prefer KJV (not sure why considering the majority can't read it in English anyway) while Korean-Americans, Korean-Australians, Korean-British, or other Anglosphere really don't care.
I see that both of them have the 1611 translator notes, so that's a huge point in their favor. Allan also includes the original chapter summaries, which I greatly appreciate, but that doesn't make up for the absence of "Translators to the Reader," so the Concord has the advantage. I prefer the less cluttered, more modern look of the Concord text, but the Allan text is thankfully missing the self-pronunciation marks. As for the number of references, I prefer quality over quantity on that front. Both of them have their merits. I would prefer an edition with features from both editions. (I would also like for the text itself to be Scrivener's Cambridge Paragraph Bible, but I don't see that happening.)

Thank you for your continuing informative videos. I am taking advatage of this video to ask you a somewhat off-topic question, but since you seem to have more Bibles than anyone except perhaps Tim Wildsmith, you might be able to answer it. Is there a compact, nicely printed edition of the KJV without notes, wth the words of Christ in black about which you know? My go-to KHV is the New Cammbridge Paragraph edition, and it's just a bit bulkier than I wish. First world problems, eh?

Hello, new subscriber here. Can you refer to me a good Catholic pocket bible? One that has both the Old and New Testament? Or, if both will be too thick, just the New Testament will do. Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the question, Minnie! I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don't. The smallest Catholic Bible I know of is the one I reviewed here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/daCWlbGlhNmtj9I.html . It's probably too thick for most pockets, and it may be out of print.

By 2070, it will be 2000 years when Jerusalem was sacked by Romans. Will that have any religious significance for the Christians? People should study the era of 66 - 70 AD carefully. I believe, that is how (like 2nd Temple Israelite) a section of radical Muslims behaved after de-colonization post 1950s and how Christian sects behaved in Europe during middle ages and how Germans behaved during 1933 - 1945.
