The 210-Book Holy Bible, Apocrypha, and Ancient History Master Collection is the largest Scripture and apocrypha collection ever published, featuring all three parts of the Master Collection in a single volume: all 66 books of the LSV Holy Bible (Volume I), all 100 books of the 2024 edition of The Complete Apocrypha® (Volume II), and all 44 historical books of Ancient Historia™ (Volume III), plus additional writings, charts, and maps. It’s the new, literal, easy-to-read, definitive collection of Christian and Jewish [non-gnostic] Scriptures, apocryphal books, and historical works. At three times the length of the Holy Bible, it’s also the longest single-volume published book in the world at over 2.3 million words, exceeding even the Guinness World Record holder In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust at 1.3 million words.
- All 39 books of the Old Testament, 27 books of the New Testament, 100 books of the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Apostolic Fathers, Sibylline Oracles, and early Church writings, and 44 early Judeo-Christian historical works, all revised and retranslated into a clean, literal, and easy-to-read translation: the complete LSV collection. This is the largest and most comprehensive collection of non-Gnostic Scriptures, apocryphal books, and historical works ever produced (210 books in total). This substantially exceeds the Catholic Bible (73 books), Ethiopian Bible (81 books), and even the Cepher (87 books).
- Premium hardcover and paperback formats feature elegant, 10-point typeface and minimized verse numbers for a more engrossing, novel-like reading experience. Thick white pages are used for high contrast and minimal bleed-through.
- The 100 included apocryphal works contain approximately 10% more material than the entire Holy Bible, and Ancient Historia contains 90% as much, thus this complete collection is approximately three times the size of the 66 canonical books present in most Bibles. Additional fragments, writings, charts, and maps are included in an appendix section.
- Includes the Catholic and Orthodox Deuterocanon material, all three of the books of Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees, the Aramaic Book of Giants, the testaments, apocalypses, pseudepigrapha, New Testament-era works, the Apostolic Fathers, Sibylline Oracles, early Church writings, historical works of Josephus and Eusebius, and much more.
- Utilization of the transliterated Tetragrammaton in the Old Testament. All uppercase LORD is used in the New Testament and Apocrypha when a reference to YHWH is likely.

Notes:
1, 2, 3 The Ethiopic Bible of the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches contains roughly 81 books, although how these books are arranged and divided between narrower and broader canons is disputed. The Ethiopic Bible lacks 1–4 Maccabees, but has an alternative account of the Maccabees unique to the Ethiopian tradition called Meqabyan, in three books.
4, 5 The Ethiopic Bible contains an Ethiopic Clement that differs significantly from the more widely known 1 and 2 Clement (written in Greek).
6 The Ethiopian and Eritrean churches recognize Josippon, a late, 10th-century work loosely based on Josephus’ Antiquities, but unlike Josephus’ original work, Josippon is pseudepigraphal, unoriginal, and composed some 900 years after the genuine works of Josephus.
7, 8 The Eastern Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox Bibles contain Psalm 151, but lack Psalms 152–155.
