The Bible they did not want you to have. This ÒRubricated American Heritage Bible (RAHB)Ó is a historical work preserving the 1901 A.D. Bible that almost faded into history. The RAHB provides a historical background preface and a facsimile reproduction of this Bible. This book encapsulates the ÒHoly Bible: Red Letter EditionÓ by Louis Klopsch, the first complete Bible to emphasize Jesus Christ with rubrication (red letters) that is very different from todayÕs red prints.
Jesus and the Apostle Paul expounded on the Scriptures. Jesus uses the historiography principle of primary sourcing the written word as he explains how the Old Testament testified of Him. Using Louis Klopsch's Red Letter Bible makes it easy to uncover Jesus in the Old Testament. In Luke 24:25-27, 32, 44-49 Jesus pointed to the O.T. scriptures (Tanakh) concerning himself. Likewise, the O.T. is what the Apostles and early Church Fathers used to preach from as the N.T. was in development, so understanding Christ in the O.T. is crucial to understanding Christianity. The Apostle Paul points to the O.T. witness of Christ the Messiah in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. One such example of the O.T. passages is that of Isaiah 53.
Klopsch included the Old Testament rubrication in his Bible that emphasizes the Jewish Jesus (Yeshua) and unveils the Messianic Christ. Thus this holds Christological, eschatological, and Messianic Judaism importance. In the New Testament, dominical words are rubricated to easily distinguish the Savior's character. A must-have Bible study companion that also makes a great gift.
