Well, I know that when my Mom bought my missionary bible for me, it cost some
C$70.00 and that was in the mid-70s. And by coincidence, the C$ was actually
worth slightly *more* than the US$ at the time. That was an awful lot of money
for a single mom, but she was so proud -- I was the first person
Part of me hates the idea of letting go of my precious margin notes.
However, following John's courageous lead, I will scarf up a new set of
scriptures (the cheap ones) if we have any large print in stock and take the
plunge. Who knows what marvelous new insights this grand expression of

I agree, although I don't know about the wealthy part, unless your speaking
in a spiritual sense. The cost of the deluxe scriptures is minor compared
to what they would cost from any other source. I have had my large print
deluxe quad for about 7 years, and it is in wonderful condition. It shou

Boy, I must be tired (Haven't had much sleep lately, been real busy). Of
course I meant to say that I favor scriptures which contains a *map* of
every place mentioned in scripture, etc.

Hmm -- maps aren't something we've thought of, to tell you the truth, although it
should be possible to do. It's slanted more towards explaining the original
meanings of words and also has a bit of an apologetics slant to it (for instance,
we show how the original Greek supports vicarious baptism

There might be an LDS study Bible come out, if some of us can get our act together.
About 7 or 8 people have come together to write a Bible (actually just the NT at
this time) -- my assignment, for instance, is Romans and I and II Corinthians. The
problem has been, in addition to getting a committ

Here is a small criticism. I haven't been all that impressed with the maps
they are now putting in new scriptures. It seems to me that they have

There's an interesting rumour floating around. Apparently
the more expensive versions of the scriptures (like the leather
bound ones) are marked as "discontinued" now (this from the
owner of an LDS bookstore), although they're still available for
individual sale at the Church
