This is definitely good news. Similar to when they purchased Nelson Bibles.

Is it truly good news though? Zondervan has a history of being very selective with the platforms they allow their content on and also jacking prices up.
True, but at least still can get Nas, Esv. and Nkjv, as for awhile just Kjv was an option!
Hope that they can keep quality up though!

I remember when I attended college--many decades ago--two Bibles were important for the Bible-carrying crowd.
Thompson Chain Reference Bible (nice review from online KJV Store)
Nave's Topical Bible (StudyLamp webpage)
I still have both in my personal library.
And both on my Kindle.
Any thoughts on how future editions of the Thompson Chain will change.

I heard this one before -- Zondervan will replace all of the language tools that were once published around the 1984 NIV--when they introduce the 2011 NIV.
It has been 9 years.
Still waiting.

I drove through Indianapolis one time and visited the Kirkbride Bible Company. It was small, but nice and organized. The folks that worked at the facility were friendly to me.

Guess not enough profit for them to do that!I heard this one before -- Zondervan will replace all of the language tools that were once published around the 1984 NIV--when they introduce the 2011 NIV.

Will they still be in business next year?
They once had very high quality bibles, but then went down a lot!I drove through Indianapolis one time and visited the Kirkbride Bible Company. It was small, but nice and organized. The folks that worked at the facility were friendly to me.
