Thomas Nelson NKJV Bibles – Beautiful. Trustworthy. Today.
Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson, 130 international and multi-denominational Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture that retained the purity and stylistic beauty of the King James Version. The New King James Version is faithful to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic text, and also provides transparency to the recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies in the footnotes. The result is a Bible translation that is both beautiful and uncompromising–perfect for serious study, devotional use, and reading aloud.
About Comfort Print
The NKJV Comfort Print Typeface was designed by 2K/Denmark as a special commission. The typeface takes inspiration from clear, distinct Aramaic limestone inscriptions of the Second Temple period and pays homage to the NKJV’s rich heritage of word-for-word translation. The result is a distinctive new Bible typeface that is uncompromisingly beautiful, bold, readable at any size, and perfectly suited to the NKJV Single-Column Verse-style Reference Bible.
