Thomas Newberry Reference Bible of 1890 published in London

Several weeks ago, in a discussion on GAP THEORY, someone asked about the resource on the picture above. This is indeed the Thomas Newberry Reference Bible of 1890 published in London. It was not the first work to print or cite GAP THEORY, but was the first one to popularize it the English speaking world. It used traditional Jewish resources written/printed in Hebrew by rabbinic sources. This debunks the hypothesis that DAKE or SCOFIELD were the first ones to propose or popularize the GAP THEORY in English. The Newberry Study Bible was out of print for a long time, but just recently was put back to print and could be freely purchased. There’s also a free PDF copy of the first print available online.

The Holy Bible : arranged so as to give as far as possible the accuracy, precision and certainty of the original Hebrew and Greek scriptures on the pages of the Authorized version, by means of simple and appropriate signs, and with the divine titles distinguished and explained

The valuable Newberry Reference Bible (also known as the Englishman’s Bible) was edited by the Plymouth Brethren author Thomas Newberry and published in three different editions: Portable Edition in two columns (1875), Single Column Large Print in one column (1890), and Pocket Edition in verse format in double columns (1890).
