Product Description
The Pilgrim Bible, first published in 1948 by Oxford University Press, was designed to help young people learn about their faith. However, it soon became apparent that this book was an invaluable resource for new Christians regardless of their age, and the Pilgrim ably served thousands of readers for some forty years. The New Pilgrim Bible, KJV carries on the legacy of its predecessor, but with the rearrangement of existing materials and the addition of factual data that enhance the value of the original book. Its features include a fresh page design and type face; book introductions (including brief outlines); explanations of biblical dispensations and covenants; boxed in-text notes, charts and black and white maps; the Words of Christ in red letter, a concordance; subject index; and, full color Oxford Bible Maps. The New Pilgrim Bible offers a wealth of enhanced information in a handy, affordable volume.

 Not Dispensational As Described April 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently purchase the New Pilgrim Bible and was sorely disappointed. In the INTRODUCTION it is stated: "The New Pilgrim Bible is an UPDATED and ENHANCED edition of the original work first released in 1948 (should have left it alone!!!). It continues to REFLECT the INTENT of the original editors and contributors: to create a study Bible with a doctrinal emphasis SIMILAR to that of the Scofield Study Bible." Well, a brief glance at the study notes clearly shows that the new edition kept the name and it's affiliation to the reputation of the Scofield Study Bible--the most well-respected Bible of all time--and that's all!!! A sampling of the footnote to Matt.5:3-16 is clearly COVENANT Theology, and certainly not dispensational in its teaching:"...It (the Sermon on the Mount) proclaims the constitution of that kingdom and applies in a particular sense to the government as it will be when Christ returns to reign (good so far)... Christians, those who have been born again...are heirs of the kingdom (?) and as such should endeavor...to live as closely as possible to the principles presented in this sermon (not true, for the Sermon on the Mount IS NOT written specifically to the Church, but to Israel looking to the heavenly kingdom and Messiah). Covenat Theology would have the believer put back under the LAW our Lord address in Matt. Chapter 5. This is clearly not a DISPENSATIONAL Bible.

Another reader's comments were hilarious about the gifts not focused on ....Like there are alot of people being raised from the dead,even pentecostal pastors learn foreign languages to be missionaries. No not much evidence of individual Holy Spirit manifestation. God works through prayer now that our cannon is closed and the Jewish nation is on hold until "Jacob's trouble". Satan will be empowered with all lying signs and wonders if your looking for signs,an adultrous and evil generation seeks for signs, There I dealt with them.
 Important reference notes removed December 29, 2003

I was really looking forward to receiving my new Pilgrim Bible becuse I have used an older version for a long time and had thought that this new version would expand and improve the already excellent notes and references. However, I was very upset when I recieved the New Pilgrim Bible, becaue the editors had not expanded the notes, but in fact had eliminated all references to the Gifts of the Spirit, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and other references related to the supernatural work of God. My first thought was to write the publisher, then thought better of it since they are the ones who have out these important notes and did not add any new notes that I could see on my brief review. In the book of Acts the speaking in tongues at Pentecost and other examples later in the new Church were ignored. Why? Even if you are not Pentecostal these are facts that are in the Bible and cannot be ignored by any scholar.I strongly recommend that you do not purchase this Bible if you are interested in scholarly or Spirit led notes and comments.
