Dear Friend:

Thank you for your question concerning which Bible is used on The WORLD TOMORROW telecast.

Our speakers normally use the Revised Authorized Version, which is commonly referred to as the New King James Version (NKJV). Whenever any other translation is quoted, the speaker will mention it, or it will be shown on the screen.

As its name implies, the New King James Version is a modern rendition of the old King James Version, which is officially known as the Authorized Version (AV). The New King James removes the archaic verb endings and pronouns of the old King James English and modernizes the pronouns referring to God.

You may wish to obtain our article titled "Seven Keys to Understanding the Bible." Included in it is a section entitled "Which Translations Are Best?" We would be happy to send a free copy upon your request.

Thank you for your interest in the telecast. Please let us know whenever we may be of further assistance in your study of God's Word.
