KJV Editions-Which is Best? Trinitarian Bible Society, Bible for Today, Cambridge, RVG/KJB, Liberty?

Which edition of the KJV is best? Dr. Thomas Ross reviews the Large Print Westminster Reference Bible (Trinitarian Bible Society), the Defined King James Bible (Bible For Today), Cambridge University Press's King James Version: Wide Margin Edition, the King James Study Bible (Liberty University), and the Reina-Valera-Gomez English / Spanish KJV/RVG parallel Bible-all leather bound editions of the King James Version (KJV), King James Bible, (KJB), or Authorized Version (AV) of 1611 (KJV1611, KJB1611, AV1611), as edited in 1769 in Oxford by Benjamin Blayney (the most widely reprinted edition of the KJV).

Brother Ross has employed all of the KJV editions above.

A.) The KJV that he (usually) brings with him to church and preaches from as of the publication of this video is the Trinitarian Bible Society's Westminster Reference Bible, Large Print edition. Pluses of this edition:

1.) It is high quality leather and is durable-ready for many years of reading, study, preaching, memorization, meditation, and obedience.
2.) The large print is easy to read.
3.) The uncommon or archaic KJV words are defined in the margin.
4.) There are copious cross-references, as well as room to write in the margins, although not as much room as in the Cambridge Wide-Margin KJV.
5.) There are useful maps, chapter introductions, and assorted other study material.
6.) The publisher, the Trinitarian Bible Society, actually believes in the superiority of the King James Bible to modern English versions of the superiority of the Received Text or Textus Receptus to the Nestle-Aland / United Bible Society Textus Rejectus.
7.) The Translators to the Reader and the Dedicatory Epistle are included in the front.
8.) Useful introductory material is included, such as an explanation of the KJV's use of italics and its differentiation between 2nd person singular and plural pronouns (thee/thou/thy vs. ye/you/your).

Minuses:

1.) The introduction erroneously states that the Divine Name "Jehovah" in the Old Testament was derived from placing the vowels of "Adonai" on the Tetragrammaton. This, however, is false, for reasons explained in numbers of articles in the Bibliology section at the FaithSaves website; for example, the initial vowel on "Jehovah" is shewa, while the initial vowel on Adonai is hatef-patach, so the vowels are not actually identical, as one would expect were a qere perpetuum present. "Jehovah" is the correct pronunciation of the one true God's covenant name.

The Trinitarian Bible Society kindly provided Dr. Ross with a review copy of this Bible. There was no requirement to give a positive review.

B.) The Defined King James Bible, published by Bible for Today, has many plusses:

1.) It is high quality leather and is durable. The one Bro Ross used eventually began to fall apart, but it was used for a long time.
2.) The large print is easy to read.
3.) The uncommon or archaic KJV words are defined in the margin.
4.) There is some room to write in the margins, although not as much as with the Cambridge Wide Margin KJV.
5.) There are useful maps and other study material.
6.) The publisher, Bible for Today, actually believes in the superiority of the King James Bible to modern English versions, and the superiority of the Received Text or Textus Receptus to the Nestle-Aland / United Bible Society Textus Rejectus.
7.) A gospel presentation is included at the end. It is not the clearest gospel presentation, but at least there is one.
8.) An appendix explicitly defends the KJV for its superior text and doctrine and warns of the corruptions in modern versions. Good!

Minuses:

1.) The main negative is that the Defined KJV has not been recently reprinted, so copies are becoming scarce. Lord willing, it will be reprinted again soon.

C.) Cambridge University Press publishes the Wide Margin Edition of the King James Bible.

Pluses:

1.) It is very durable and has excellent wide margins that can easily be filled with notes.

Minuses:

2.) The uncommon or archaic KJV words are not defined in the margin of this edition of the KJV. Bro Ross believes that people who are reading the KJV through for the first time, or first few times, should get a KJV edition with those words defined in the margin. After the Christian knows those words he may read a KJV edition without them.

2.) Cambridge University Press publishes the KJV but does not believe in it.

D.) The Reina-Valera-Gomez / KJV parallel Bible has the RVG Spanish text and the English KJV across from each other.

Pluses:

1.) Because of the included Spanish text, Bro Ross uses this Bible during church soulwinning so he can better evangelize Spanish speakers.

Minuses:

1.) The RVG/KJV includes the Bible text and little else; archaic KJV words are not defined.

E.) As for Liberty University's King James Study Bible:

Pluses:

1.) Fundamentalist study notes.
2.) Archaic words are defined.

Minuses:

1.) Minor changes are introduced into the KJV text (e. g., "alway" becomes "always" in Acts 10:2).
