A thumb index is a set of small cut-out tabs along the edge of the Bible’s pages, usually labelled with the names or abbreviations of Bible books. They make it quicker to find books such as Genesis, Psalms, Matthew or Romans without searching through the contents page.
A Thumb Index Bible can be especially useful if you regularly move between different books of the Bible during church services, Bible studies, teaching or personal reading. It can also be helpful for newer readers who are still learning where each book appears in the Bible.
No. Thumb indexing affects the outer edge of the pages rather than the Bible text itself. The translation, print size and other features depend on the individual edition, so you can find Thumb Index Bibles with features such as Large Print, Red Letter text, cross-references or study notes.
