Kwikscan Holy Bible: Complete Authorized King James Version

Summary: Great for Bible School Students
Review: As a Bible student, I am required to read a book of the Bible two and three times before proceeding with a lesson. Now this can be quite tedious if, for instance I have only two months to read the entire Old Testament. So, I've come up with a for study: read the complete text first, then review the text using the Kwikscan Bible. It's been a great help. I would not recommend using this Bible for one's personal devotional time--God uses the whole Bible to speak to us--but for a quick review of a text for test or sermon preparation (as another reviewer stated) this Bible may come in handy. Apparently, the Kwikscan Bible is now out of print. I'd recommend purchasing a used copy if you can get your hands on one.

Summary: A Quick Scan of the Bible
Review: EVERY written
SENTENCE CONTAINS and includes a central
CORE MEANING with excess words and verbiage which merely modify the message.
HIGHLIGHTING IMPORTANT WORDS in a passage
LETS THE READER skip the modifiers and
QUICKLY SCAN the passage for
THE CORE MEANING.

Go back to the previous paragraph and read only the words in all capitals. You still get the message, and you get it quickly. How fast could you learn if entire books were printed in this format? The Kwikscan Bible's answer is "Very fast."

Students can read rapidly to get the gist of a passage, or slow down and read every word to get the full meaning. Kwikscan proves to be an excellent tool for Bible study. I wish all my textbooks in college had been printed in Kwikscan.

Summary: Brilliant Idea, M.F. Morris, Where are You?
Review: I purchased my KJV Kwikscan several years ago when it was first made available. As a Pastor it is easy for me to review books of the Bible before I preach a prepared sermon. I have suggested it to others and now I find out that Kwikscan is out of print. What a shame, I am buying every copy that I find, which is not many!

Review: It is unfortunate that the KWIKSCAN Bible is out of print. It has been, I believe, unjustifiably maligned by many of those who would consider themselves purists of verbal plenary inspiration. Since I consider myself among the "purists", I can only say that I believe most objectors have misunderstood the purpose of KWIKSCAN. Every word of the KJV text is printed with certain words place in bold faced type which form their own thoughts and sentences. These words summarize passages in an understandable and concise manner. Reading just the bold faced words allows you to quickly review the text with much greater comprehension. Indeed, a major university research study revealed that on the average KWIKSCAN reduced reading time 65% while increasing understanding 35%. KWIKSCAN is an ideal tool to use when the purpose is to review the text for overall content and meaning when you do not have time to get bogged down in the specific genealogies or numbering of the tribes of Israel. The editors have been careful and faithful to preserve the essential meaning of each passage while not eliminating or altering a single word. I would highly recommend QUIKSCAN to any student of the Bible who at times has a need to review the richness of God's word but has limited time to do so. Find a copy if you can.
