The Turquoise Reference Bible was originally created in the 1920s and has stood as a superb and well-loved example of classic Cambridge typographic design for ninety years. The text is presented in a large, bold, traditional typeface, with cross-references and the words of Christ while on Earth are printed in red. For this edition the concordance has been freshly typeset, and it also includes a map section and the Translators' preface, their compelling account of the principles underlying the publication of the KJV in 1611. The Bible is printed on fine India paper and fully sewn, allowing it to lie flat when in use and adding extra durability. It has gilt-edged pages and is bound in black calf split leather. The large format, superior materials and manufacturing excellence make this a perfect choice as a Family Bible or a desk or presentation Bible for those in Christian ministry.

The Greek New Testament holds a special place in Christian thinking as the mouthpiece for God's revelation of the Gospel and of Jesus Christ. While there are a few trusted Greek texts currently in print, significant advances have been made in Greek translation studies of the New Testament since a standard text was last adopted in 1975. In this edition, an editorial team of biblical scholars connected to Tyndale House, Cambridge, have taken a rigorously philological approach to reviewing the standard text, looking afresh at spelling and paragraphing, and integrating recent findings about scribal practices and other advances in New Testament Greek. The result is a ground-breaking contribution to biblical scholarship. This edition is beautifully produced, fully sewn and bound with a grey imitation leather cover. It is intended for use by students, scholars and clergy.
