T“The text of The Companion Bible is the Authorized Version (KJV). Bullinger's notes relied upon many sources from the biblical studies of that era, particularly the emerging archaeological and linguistic discoveries of the late 19th century.
Notes within the text of this 2,176 page, one-volume study Bible give valuable insights into the original Greek and Hebrew languages. Alternate translations, explanations of figures of speech, cross-references and an introductory detailed outline of each book and chapter are among the many features which Bible students, pastors, and seminarians will find helpful.
Study helps in The Companion Bible include: 198 appendices, keyed to the study notes, which include explanations of Greek and Hebrew words and their use Charts, parallel passages, maps, proper names and their pronunciation Timelines plus other special information and topical studies Distinguishing type for divine names and titles. Archaeological findings and historical genealogies. Figures of speech which are noted and explained. Hebrew words supplied in their root form. Emphasized pronouns in the original text given in distinguishable type. Cross-references supplied to similar words in the original text."

The front page of the Bible reads: " The Companion Bible, being the Authorized version of 1611, With Structures,and Notes, Critical, Explanatory and Suggestive, and with 198 Appendixes.

Two features i have found distinctive and useful in this Bible are: the double column page and the set of 198 Appendixes. The first feature is that the text of the Bible is on the left, Structures, and notes, explanations and cross-references are on the right. Explanation of these and marks in the margin are set out and explained in the Preface of the Bible (Too many to list here). The Structures referred to make The Companion Bible an unique edition, and require special notice. They give not a mere Analysis evolved from the Text by human ingenuity, but a Symmetrical Exhibition of the Word itself, which may be discerned by the humblest reader of the Sacred Text, and seen to e one of the most important evidences of the Divine Inspiration of it words.

The second feature, is the large amount of information bearing on the various questions raised by the phenomena of the Sacred Text. Each Appendix is a treatise or discussion in itself by learned scholars of the Bible. ( )

Here is an invaluable reference Bible for access to vast amounts of collateral historical information. It was put together by E. W. Bullinger in the late 1800's. It contains the text of the King James Bible with a right hand column packed full of tidbits of information seldom found anywhere else. It also has 198 appendixes that are full of "must read" information. The parallel column in the Old Testament contain notes taken from the Massorah (compiled by Ginsburg, but written during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah) that are pertinent to the understanding of the Scripture. At this time the Companion Bible is the only source for the English reader of the Massoretic text. This work will help you to discover what, "Thus saith the Lord" and why. ( )

From Preface: This BIBLE is not associated with the name of any man; so that its usefulness may neither be influenced nor limited by any such consideration; but that it may commend itself, on its own merits, to the whole English-speaking race. It is NOT a NEW Translation. It is NOT an AMENDED Translation. It is NOT COMMENTARY ... The Text is that of the Authorized Version of 1611 as published by the Revisers in their "Parallel Bible" in 1885. ( )
