The Scofield Study Bible III, New King James Version

A review of the Scofield Study Bible III in the New King James Version (NKJV), ISBN 9780195275384. This Bible is Smyth sewn with overcast stitching front and back. The print is dark and generally uniform. The 9.5 point font is large enough for my aging eyes, and it is attractive. The text is laid out in a twin column, verse-by-verse format, with chain references along the gutter and outside edges. This is a red letter Bible.
