Bible [1985] | Dutch Bible Society | Old Testament | Maps

An edition of the Bible in the NBG translation (1951), printed in 1985 by the Netherlands Bible Society in Haarlem.

This red-bound edition contains multiple maps of Palestine and the Ancient Near East and was a commonly used copy within Protestant Netherlands in the 1980s.

Inside is a personal farewell inscription from 1986, originating from a Christian primary school in Veenendaal – which gives the book a tangible, personal history.

The binding shows signs of wear and slight damage to the spine.
