I found a Bible!

An ABC church? Ban yourself for heresy.

 

What year was it published?

 

I was once a member of a church in the ABC and they were very conservative. Other churches in the state conference allowed women pastors, but that church and local association didn't.

 

He could have had an early release copy.

 

Many years ago I found at my church a torn piece of a page from a Bible on the ground with John R. Rice signature on it. I have keep it in one of my books.

 

Awesome! Those are quite expensive on the Internet. Folks like to hang on to their copies. (Me, too.)

 

The RRB was his last project, and he worked on it up until right before he died, as I recall. When I worked at the Sword in 1977, one of my tasks was to type up his notes on the early books of the OT, which he had handwritten while out in meetings.

So I guess it was published posthumously since it was such a huge project, but he did finish it before going on to Heaven. I was given one of the early copies by my grandmother, and another later by my wife.
