Hendrickson Publishers The A. W. Tozer Bible: KJV Version, hardcover

"The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian." —A. W. Tozer

Key writings of one of the twentieth century's most profound Christian authors are married with the scriptures that A. W. Tozer loved, studied and wrote about over the course of his forty year ministry.

Hendrickson Publishers is proud to introduce the A. W. Tozer Bible, which will introduce a whole generation of readers to his work. Tozer (1897–1963), an pastor, preacher, student and teacher, is perhaps the closest American writer to C. S. Lewis, with the same penetrating insights and straightforward use of language. His bracing words, which accompany related passages throughout this Bible, unlock many of the mysteries of the Scriptures in language that could have been written today.

This unique volume features over 500 key selections and teachings, taken from more than 40 of Tozer's writings, ranging from seminal bestselling books like The Pursuit of God and The Attributes of God to lesser-known works such as The Size of the Soul and The Root of the Righteous.

Each selection appears in one of three categories:
  1. On Scripture
    Over 365 selections, each sharing the page with the Bible passage to which it refers, add depth and insight to a particular verse's application for the believer.
  2. Reflections
    More than 100 writings that apply the deep meaning of the Christian faith to everyday life.
  3. Challenges
    Nearly 100 entries, tied to scripture, that exhort the reader to resist complacency in particular areas of one's "living out" the Word in the world.

As a fan of Tozer's writing for many years, I was excited to find the Tozer Bible. I thought it would be a commentary type, with gleanings from his studies throughout his scholarly career. To my surprise, it contained paragraphs taken from his previous published books. Since I had read a lot of Tozer, there was nothing new. It would be good for someone who has just recently "discovered" A.J. Tozer!

I have a collection of Bible and wanted a KJV that also gave me insight of the scripture. This is the one for me The size of the print is fine and the references it gives are good. I would recommend this for a home bible since it is hard back.

I am enjoying reading the Bible and think Dr. Tozer's notes are outstanding. The maps are real good. The notes are very good at the beginning of each book and the notes throughout the Bible in the scripture and the cross-references. I also like the subtitles in the chapters. It is an asset to my library. It arrived in a timely manner and was in top quality condition. I only wish the format was in one year Bible reading style. I have read my Bible through every year, for the last 40 years. I would have preferred that the words of Our Lord were not in Red Letters.

The A. W. Tozer Bible from Hendrickson Publishers is a study/devotional Bible with writings from one of the 20th century’s most beloved Christian authors. A. W. Tozer was a Pastor, Preacher, Teacher, and Student who wrote many books in his 40-year ministry. This Bible includes over 500 selections from his writings.
Here’s a look at some of the key features:
• Brief biography of A. W. Tozer
• Epistle Dedicatory (dedication to King James)
• Over 500 Tozer selections
• King James Version
• Book introductions
• Textual Headings
• Words of Christ in red
• Outer side-column references
• 145 page Concordance
• 8 pages of Maps
• 9.50 x 6.25" x 1.75"
Text
The font looks to be a more modern digital font. I’m not sure of the font’s size, but it looks close to 9-point. It has extra leading between the lines, giving plenty of room to underline. There are no footnotes indicators in the text itself. This makes the text very clean and readable.
One of my favorite features is the text layout. Poetry is set in verse format which is offset from the regular text. I like the way this looks. It helps not only to identify the genre of Scripture, but also makes the text more readable.
The reference of the first verse that appears on the page is printed at the top of each page. Paragraph markers continue throughout the New Testament.
Headings and verse numbers are bold, making them stand out from the rest of the text.
The red-letter is a nice shade of red. There is some variation, but it does look nice and it’s very readable.
Book introductions include information on the books background, message, time, and an outline complete with verses.
Paper
The paper isn’t shiny or too thin, making this a good Bible for coloring and writing. It’s fairly opaque, making it easier to read.
References
The references are on the outside margin. They include the verse number. There are no indicators in the text to know which reference goes to which portion of the verse. There are a lot of references, with most verses having several. The references do not contain translation notes.
Features
What makes this Bible unique is its 500 selections that are taken from 40 of Tozer’s writings. The selections are placed into three categories called On Scripture, Reflections, and Challenges and mostly vary from 2 to 4 paragraphs (though there are a few smaller and a few larger). The selections are well-written with the focus on deepening your walk with God.
On Scripture – these are insights of specific verses or passages. They’re found on the page with the passage and often contain thoughts on application. These make up the majority of the articles.
Reflections – the articles are deeper thoughts about the application of Scripture.
Challenges – these are challenges to strengthen your walk with God through Biblical application.
Concordance
The concordance is 145 pages. There are plenty of entries to look up. The entry for God takes almost a full column of text, which is more than most Bibles.
Maps
There are 8 pages of maps. The maps are in full color and they look nice. The paper for the maps is thicker than the other paper. There is no index to maps.
Citations of Tozer’s Works
In the back is a list of Tozer’s 40 works that are cited throughout the Bible.
Conclusion
The A. W. Tozer Bible has many features in its layout that I would like to see as standard in Bibles. As far as the content, there are a lot of insights that make for good thought-provoking study and reading. Tozer’s writings give this Bible a rich devotional quality. The A. W. Tozer Bible would be a valuable addition to your library.
The Bible was provided for free for review by Hendrickson Publishers. I was not required to give a positive review- only an honest review.
