It holds 88 books, including the ones your Bible quotes but never printed
Open the table of contents and you will find every book of the standard 66-book Bible in its familiar order, Genesis to Revelation.
Then you will find 22 more, placed right where they belong:
- Jubilees
- Enoch
- Second Enoch
- Meqabyan I, II and III
- First and Second Esdras
- Tobit
- Judith
- Wisdom of Solomon
- Sirach
- Baruch
- Letter of Jeremiah
- 4 Baruch
- Prayer of Manasses
- Psalm 151
- Additions to Esther
- Prayer of Azariah
- Susanna
- Bel and the Dragon
- First Epistle of Clement
Genesis 6 describes the "sons of God" and the Nephilim in four short verses. The Book of Enoch tells the same story across several chapters. Reading the two side by side is how many readers finally make sense of a passage they have wondered about for years.
You can see the actual pages and illustrations before you order
A cover photo tells you almost nothing about a Bible. So here are the inside pages, photographed by readers in their own homes.
Throughout the text you will find full-page engravings by Gustave Doré, the 19th-century artist whose Bible illustrations are still among the most recognized ever made. Noah's dove leaving the ark. Tobias and the angel. The spies returning from the Promised Land. Each one is captioned and printed on its own page, and the text is set in a clean two-column layout, the way a reading Bible should be.

A hardcover built to be opened every day and kept for decades
A phone is fine for looking up a verse. Study is different. You want a book that lies open on the table, takes a pencil note in the margin, and is still on the shelf when your grandchildren reach for it.
The hardcover edition is built for exactly that:
- Gold gilded page edges that look beautiful on a shelf or a coffee table
- Durable binding designed to last through years of daily use
- Premium paper designed to minimize bleed-through
- A matte cover and decorative spine, the marks of the official edition
It is also a big book. Readers notice the size the moment they open the box.
"This Bible is absolutely beautiful. And it is HUGE!!!"
Prefer something lighter? The paperback is also available in the order box below.
Read the books side by side and watch the whole story connect
You do not need a seminary degree to get more from your daily reading. You need the right books open beside each other. This edition puts them in one place. Here are four simple ways readers start:
Read Genesis 1 to 6, then Jubilees
Jubilees, often called the Little Genesis, retells the story from creation to Sinai with added detail and dates.
Read Jude 14 and 15, then Enoch
Turn to the opening chapter of Enoch and read the prophecy Jude quotes, in its original setting.
Read Meqabyan I, II and III
Three books kept only in the Ethiopian tradition, and rarely seen in English.
Keep the glossary close
Unfamiliar names, places and terms are explained in the glossary at the back of the book.
The edition opens with an introduction and closes with a conclusion by Rev. Dr. Rance Settle (MDiv, DMin), who frames what you are reading and why this tradition matters.

Watch: how to tell the official edition from a copy.
Popular books attract imitations. Unofficial listings can look identical in a small photo and still arrive with missing books, missing passages, thin paper and bonus codes that do not work.
When you order on this page, you are ordering directly from Solomon's Gate Press, the publisher of this edition. You receive the official edition, working bonus access, and a support team that can help with your order or your access if you ever need it.
How to recognize the official edition
