Thomas Nelson’s (@NelsonBibles) newest study Bible is the KJV Word Study Bible (Thomas Nelson, 2017) (@ThomasNelsonKJV). Biblical manuscripts were written by the authors in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. English readers not knowing these biblical languages can sometimes make it challenging to understand the meaning and intent of Scripture. The KJV Word Study Bible allows readers to delve deeper into the original languages of the Bible and to better understand what God had in mind when he inspired the Scriptures. For example:

Acts 13:2 minister
(Gr. leitourgeō) (Rom. 15:27; Heb. 10:11) This is the word from which we get “liturgy.” It refers to the performing of religious or charitable acts in service to God, either by prayer and fasting or through meeting the needs of others. The root word means “public minister; servant of the state.” In the New Testament this word is used to describe the Aaronic priesthood (Heb. 10:11) as well as Christians serving the Lord by meeting the financial needs of other believers (Rom. 15:27). The focus is on service to God through the fulfillment of an office or ritual at one’s own expense. Such acts were usually repeated over and over.

The KJV Word Study Bible includes in-text subheadings and 1,700 easy-to-use word studies with select Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words explained in nearly every chapter, from Genesis to Revelation. Book introductions, word definitions, indexes, colored maps, footnotes, and concordance all help readers get closer to the original languages of the Bible. This easy-to-use study Bible does not require previous knowledge of languages or the use of an extensive reference system, so it is a perfect way to sample the benefits of immersive Bible word studies.

Daniel Marrs, Associate Publisher for Thomas Nelson Bibles says: “Engaging with the languages in which Scripture was originally written is a great way to bring these sacred words to life. The KJV Word Study Bible uniquely opens up the richness and significance of key biblical words, and helps make Scripture’s original languages wonderfully accessible for today’s readers.”

Also available is the NKJV Word Study Bible with the New King James Version (NKJV) Bible translation (@NKJVbible).
