This section gives you information on various reference sources for use with the Eyewitness Bible Series. The scripts for videos have endnotes or footnotes that refer to many of these sources. In general, the scriptures used in the videos are from the King James Version, but modernized into current English by the writer of the video script. The few scriptures that are taken from other authorized versions are noted in the endnotes as NIV for the New International Version, or ESV for the English Standard Version. The New King James Version was not used in any way so as not to create confusion between it and the scripts.
