The Westminster Reference Bible is simply the best. It's like the Thompson Chain on roids.

I posted pics of three different sizes I own and use here if you're interested.

Yours in the Lord,

Personally, I favor the KJV

The Old Testament is the original Hebrew Bible, the sacred scriptures of the Jewish faith, written at different times between about 1200 and 165 BC. The New Testament books were written by Christians in the first century AD.
BBC - Religions - Christianity: The Bible

Scholars in the first half of the 20th century came to the conclusion that the Yahwist was produced in the monarchic period, specifically at the court of Solomon, 10th century BC, and the Priestly work in the middle of the 5th century BC (the author was even identified as Ezra), but more recent thinking is that the Yahwist was written either just before or during the Babylonian exile of the 6th century BC, and the Priestly final edition was made late in the Exilic period or soon after

Biblehub.com is the best reference Bible ;)

Only for the fancy pants folks with data. lol

Honestly, I still read from bound books. I've tried using a tab but it's just not for me. I imagine people said similar things when scrolls were replaced by bound books.

Yours in the Lord,

Much better than the Thomson. No categories are assumed in the cross-references as does Thompson. Letting the text speak for itself.

The WRB is sort of a KJV and an expanded Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge rolled into one. ;)

If you want to improve even more using cross-references to the Confessions, take the attachment and add it to your bible manually. It took me around six months off and on to transcribe the references into my personal bible.

Is the Sword Searcher version DVDs or an app download?
