In its format this Bible fits between the editions of 1895.11 and 1896.11; its content—apart from new typesetting and brief prefatory summaries in each chapter—is completely identical to 1896.11. Apart from the date the foreword is also identical to 1896.11, as was the target audience for this Bible. Zalsman again supplied the four chromolithographic maps and the plate with biblical antiquities, using the same format but a broader margin. The colors differ from the maps in 1896.11, however, and the name of the printer is printed in a somewhat more rigid lettering.

Advertisements dating from 1904 indicate a plan to offer subscription and installment plans for the Bible to stimulate sales (see 1904.29)—apparently without success. Kuyper’s intention was also to publish this Bible as a pocket Bible for churchgoers and students and as a pulpit Bible in folio (cf. De Heraut, no. 1040, November 28, 1897). However, these plans were never realized.
