 . . a number of unique features that set it apart from all other study Bibles. I want you to know that this Bible contains the most accurate Bible text ever made available to the public.     —Rev. Franklin L. Dake, 1901
The Dake Bible became a reality when, in 1901, Rev. Dake presented it to his fellow ministers of the churches in which he served.  He gave each one of them a copy, and a number of volumes were printed and sold to the public.  When the last of those Bibles was distributed in 1909, the first complete Bible in the world based on the current best textual evidence was in the hands of the common Christian citizen. —Franklin L. Dake, 1902
It was the most popular study Bible of its day, and is still widely distributed today. It is a Bible that has helped millions of Christians develop a deeper understanding of God's Word. The Dake Bible was both the predecessor and the inspiration for the Bibles that have followed it.

Since I have devoted myself exclusively to this task I have had no time to study history or any other subject whatever, and have never had the opportunity to learn how the other Bibles of the world have been prepared.     —Rev. Franklin L. Dake, 1901
