Rainbow editions of the Bible were created with new or less experienced Bible students in mind. It's perfect for those who are searching. With a Rainbow Bible, every verse is color coded. There's no need to look up references in the index; you simply search for related passages by color. What could be simpler than flipping through the pages, finding the matching color? Even very young readers can use the Rainbow Bible.
There are several varieties of Rainbow Bibles available today, each with its own characteristics. While I believe that the first Rainbow Bible was a King James Version, they are available in other translations today. Most versions feature colored maps, color-coded verses for memorization, calendars, and cross-reference guides.
The twelve colors of the Rainbow Bible system correspond to the twelve colors of the rainbow. In the Bible, the rainbow is a sign of God's promise to man, that He will always care for man. So, the Rainbow Bible's color system is considered to have special significance by those who use it. You'll remember the promise of God every time you pick up your Rainbow Study Bible.
