What is this Bible with red printing?

Upvote:8

Normally these bibles are called red-letter or Dominical words bibles (Dominical meaning "of the Lord" — it's the words of Jesus which are printed in red).

There used to be an ESV red-letter bible but it's out of print. I can't find whether they currently print a red-letter version, but there are some of that leather-bound red-letter edition available via Amazon at the moment.

Two-colour printing is far more expensive than single-colour, so it tends to go with high-end features like leather binding. The end result is sold in such low volumes that it becomes uneconomical to maintain and even second-hand prices remain quite high.

The image you provided is of the New King James Version which obviously also had printed red-letter editions. There's an imitation-leather NKJV edition available quite cheaply at the moment.
