Let's examine the major elements and contributions of the Latter-day Saint edition of the King James version of the BibleT, and I believe you will soon see its great value.
Explanation Concerning Footnotes - The footnotes identified by the abbreviations are extremely important to a more complete understanding of the Old Testament. . . .Cross References in the Footnotes - . . . If you will consistently use these cross references, you will soon gain an increased understanding and appreciation of the great gospel plan of salvation and exaltation, and of the life, mission, and atonement of Jesus Christ . . . .
Chapter Headings - . . . I urge you to read each of these chapter headings, without exception. In fact, I recommend that at least one time in your life you read all the chapter headings consecutively, one after the other, without taking time to read the text itself.
Topical Guide - Thousands of topics are individually listed in its 598 pages. Tens of thousands of appropriate references are listed under these topics. . . .
Bible Dictionary - I believe the Bible Dictionary in the LDS edition of the Bible is the best Bible Dictionary that has ever been published. Unfortunately many members of the Church, even those who have already obtained the LDS edition of the Bible, have not learned how to use this magnificent instructional aid. It is the sealed portion of the Bible!
The best, and perhaps the only, way to become acquainted with the contents of the Bible Dictionary is to read all the entries in the dictionary, item-by-item and word-for-word, from the topic of "Aaron" through the topic of "Zipporah."
Gazetteer - The items in the gazetteer should enable the serious student of the Bible to locate any major place name in the 22 maps which follow. The maps are among the best Biblical maps available. . . .
