NKJV headings inconsistent with publisher’s version
Hi,
For the NKJV Bible on Logos, I noticed the headings (especially of NT content) are inconsistent with the publisher Thomas Nelson’s version.
For example, Luke 13, Logos shows “Christ teaches on repentance” while Thomas Nelson’s version shows “Repent or perish” (see biblegateway or Youversion or Blue Letter Bible).
Regards,
David

Have you checked the copyright versions of what you have in Logos and compared them to the others?

It appears there is only one NKJV version which is 1982.

If there is another version where the headings have been revised, please advise.

The Logos citation is the same as my NKJV hardcopy and there are omissions in Luke 13 as well as differences.

It's interesting Dave's (Hau) cited headings are in the Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps 1996.

I finally figured this one out.
It appears Thomas Nelson used different headings for the NKJV Bible vs the NKJV Study Bible.
Internet Archive has imaged copies of both:
NKJV (non-study) Bible: https://archive.org/details/theholybiblenewkingjamesversion_201910/page/n937/mode/2up
NKJV Study Bible: https://archive.org/details/nkjvstudybible/page/n3/mode/2up
Logos uses the headings from the study Bible.
All other electronic resources (e.g. Olivetree) appear to use the headings from the non-study Bible.
Hence the difference. You can say both are correct.

David

Another user discovered that it is not only the headings, but the Bible text varies.

E-Sword and Accordance version has the "Hear me now..." variation of Isaiah 44:1 just like Logos. So it's a case of mixed variations of a supposed singular 1982 version.

From that link:
- We can use iPhone, Android and online versions of the NKJV with confidence that the text across these platforms will be identical now and in the future.

What is so interesting:
- An NIV-ish ('84!) NJKV! I'd love to hear that conversation in 1984.
- The update exhibits confident translational guesses. Hand ... arm ... back? Pick!
- Rationalization is relative to a person's doctrine. 'No impact ...meh.'
- Comfort level with God's Holy Inspred Word ... depending.
But you would never have woken FL with the problem. Just one more digital resource. Even worse, KJV-ish.
