First published in 1908, it now contains more than 100,000 references, covering over 8,000 topics, making the chain-reference system an ideal tool for comprehensive topical study. The&nbsp;<em>Thompson Chain-Reference Bible<\/em>&nbsp;also offers a library of additional study resources that allows readers to interpret the Bible using related scripture passages rather than consulting a commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>NKJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bible<\/em>&nbsp;is printed in the NKJV Comfort Print\u00ae typeface for easy reading. Expertly designed specifically to be used for the New King James Version (NKJV) text, Comfort Print offers an easier reading experience that complements the translation. It also features a two-color design that preserves the original look of the chain-reference system, while making each page cleaner and easier to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"NJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bible Interior\" class=\"wp-image-72159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/9780310459347.interior.01.jpg 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>The updated and revised editions of the <em>NKJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bibles<\/em> feature:<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Complete text of the New King James Version (NKJV)<\/li><li>Easy-to-understand chain-reference system with over 100,000 references<\/li><li>Alphabetical and numerical indexes highlight study materials for over 8,000 topics, each with its own topic number, for exhaustive topical study<\/li><li>An extensive study resource section includes biographical sketches, illustrated studies of the Bible, a concordance, Bible harmonies, and many other helpful study tools<\/li><li>Fresh, two-color page design<\/li><li>66 book introductions<\/li><li>16-page full-color map section with map index<\/li><li>Line-matched text for enhanced readability<\/li><li>Exclusive NKJV Comfort Print typeface<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zondervan.com\/p\/thompsonchainreference?utm_source=bg&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=bgblog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the Thompson Chain-Reference Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"NKJV Thompson Chain-Reference Bibles\" class=\"wp-image-72156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NKJV-Group_9291.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, is pleased to announce the release of Zondervan\u2019s Thompson\u00ae Chain-Reference\u00ae Bible, Revised and Updated&nbsp;in the New King James Version (NKJV).
