Leather Cover Wide-Margin King James Version Bibles

bibleA solider doesn’t just pick up any old weapon when going to war, neither does a fundamentalist pick up just any old Bible to fight the good fight. Some important considerations are required.

First of all the Bible must be large. It must be big enough to show that the bearer takes the Scripture seriously enough to risk a hernia when he totes it around. The Bible must be big enough so then when held aloft with one hand, the pages drape over to give thatt classic “This is My King James Bible” look.

The cover must also be leather to allow the holder to get that wonderful “THWACK” sound when he slaps his hand against the cover. This is especially important if preaching. “That’s not what this Bible right here says!!! THWACK! It says that women ought to be silent in the churches, amen? THWACK!”

Lastly, wide margins are a must. This is no sissy Bible. It must have space for notes, outlines, and autographs.

Let lesser Christians come to the battlefield with their pocket sized Bibles with cheap covers and tiny margins. The fundamentalist’s Bible will never be hidden away from view — nor carried without effort.

    I have a wide margin KJV. I like the space to write in the occasional note… however, NO autographs!

    question, does it have to be a Scofield?

    It HAS to be an OLD Scolfield, with the note for I John 5:7 crossed out.

    Maybe the preacher carries the big Bible, but the student at the fundy Christian school learns to carry a small Bible. It makes it easier to follow the rule: the Bible shall always be the top book on your stack of school books. When your Bible is small, it’s a much more convenient top for the book pyramid. Anything to make it easier to follow all those rules. Am I trivilizing the Bible? No, just the rule.

    Alas, another “Proof” I WAS a fundie… my wide-margined, KJV, Cambridge in the handled zippered carry-all…..
