About this app

NEW KING JAMES VERSION NKJV Audio Bible App Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that would retain the purity and stylistic beauty of the original King James. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translation applies the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies. The New King James Version is an exceptionally rich and accurate translation of Holy Scripture. Because this classic translation has withstood the test of time and the careful scrutiny of many, it was a high privilege to write the accompanying study notes. During the process of incorporating the comments, I obviously plunged deep into the entire text. The further I studied it, the more profoundly I trusted its integrity. I highly recommend this valuable text. The NKJV was commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers. One-hundred-and-thirty respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years with the goal of updating the vocabulary and grammar of the King Jame The men who were invited prepared the guidelines for the NKJV. The aim of its translators was to update the vocabulary and grammar of the King James Version, while preserving the classic style and literary beauty of the original 1611 KJV. The 130 translators believed in unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts including the Dead Sea Scrolls. Also agreed upon for most New King James Bibles were easier event descriptions, a history of each book, and added dictionary and updated concordance. According to the preface of the NKJV, the NKJV uses the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica for the Old Testament, with frequent comparisons made to the Ben Hayyim edition of the Mikraot Gedolot published by Bomberg in 1524–25, which was used for the King James Version. Both the Old Testament text of the NKJV Audio and that of the KJV come from the ben Chayyim text (known as the Masoretic Text). However, the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica used by the NKJV uses an earlier manuscript (the Leningrad Manuscript B19a) than that of the KJV. The New King James Version also uses the Textus Receptus ("Received Text") for the New Testament, just as the original King James Version had used. As explained in the preface, notes in the center column acknowledge variations from Novum Testamentum Graece (designated NU after Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies) and the Majority Text (designated M).

Ratings and reviews

It's my favorite Bible app with the exception that it doesn't play smoothly (and has gotten worse). It regularly just stops and I don't know where it left off in order to continue. I hope you will fix this as I'm ready to find another app because of the constant interruptions. The music, narrators and sound effects are the best (so I hope it will be remedied).

I have been searching for a good audio Bible app for ages. The voice in this one is so soothing. And the background sounds are not overwhelming. I love it and highly recommend it. To those having problems with it starting and stopping there is a repeat and Shuffle option up in the right corner of thescreen. The three little buttons And you can change the settings.

Absolutely love this version of the nkj audio bible but I only gave it 4 stars because it keeps stopping in the middle of the reading and it wont go in order, I start on a chapter and then it skips chapters. I tried uninstalling and then installing it worked for a day and then it went back to not working correctly but I love it so much that I just put up with the imperfections.
