Nice collection 👍 all for the glory of God. That just shows I don't have many Bible, and I must share this video with my family.

Would you recommend this translation for daily reading and Bible study?

Awesome video because I am new to the Catholic Church and this explanation helps out a lot!

I appreciate this. My pastor does not support the NKJV, but only uses to esv. I like the esv, yet absolutely prefer the NKJV. It’s fuller, clearer and poetic.

It would be neat if they produced this in a compact edition as well. Making it like a PSQish style.

As a pastor, the worst thing you can say is "that's what we have pastors for." Give your kids a Bible in a language they can understand themselves.

I think that it could get confusing to some & twist scripture by not realizing that they are - that they need to have a solid foundation but even we have a way of tripping up on subtleties

Revelation 22:19 " And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Nice quick update. I read the NASB '95, CSB, NIV '84 and will probably add the NLT in '25.

I never wear a hat indoors.

I neeeeed to get this! 😁 Thank you for your review!

Does the NJV contain the Apocryphal books?

I am using the amplified study bible....like it

Read a Protestant Bible, a Catholic Bible, an Orthodox (Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Ethiopian, et al). Related, read or at least own and refer to, the Douay Rheims & KJV as both are old, influential, and historical.

Font size and darkness are the main factors I use. I agree with line matching and page opacity. Older Cambridge Bibles with small print are readable for me. I will not buy ESV Bibles due to the lack of white space and smushed words

Always love your balanced takes Tim! Also appreciate your charity towards Catholics. God bless you.

I love this topic. I came to the faith later in life and my first Bible was the KJV. Then following a recommendation of a friend, I tried the NIV. This opened the Transition flood gates, leading me to acquire numerous Bibles across the translation spectrum. My translation of choice is the CSB but often include other translations in my reading plan.

I’m a Catholic who owns and reads the NIV and KJV. I learn from every version I own. I agree about the NABRE, it’s my least favorite.

Tim - I haven’t been following you that long - have you ever read the Darby translation? Basically a one man translation by John Nelson Darby, of the Plymouth Brethren in the mid-1800’s.

Love it. Ordered mine yesterday. Thanks for the review. I am even more pumped 😊

Absolutely agree. I also read The Koran, Book of Morman, and New World Translation.

3:35 the NLT was approved by Catholic bishops in India. The ESV was approved in England and is going into use December 1 as their official Lectionary translation, replacing the Jerusalem Bible. Canadian Roman Catholics use the NRSV liturgically.

I only wish they didn’t have the cheesy cover “great adventure” stamp in the leather and the teen bible color coding and layout internally. It’s a great bible reading system but feels like a teen bible for someone with a mortgage. We need this for the new Ignatius Scott Hahn Study Bible.

I have my thought for thought bases covered I love the NLT and the NIV. I need a more word for word to read as well and since I agree with you that despite my admitted favoritism to the Critical Text I agree with you that I should add a more word for word translation and one from the TR I do think I’ll add the NKJV to my line up. I agree with you other things you mention. Stay away from cult bibles but Catholic translations are fine. Sorry for writing a long rambling comment to say “I agree with you, only I consider the NIV or the NLT as my main translation.”

My go-to Bibles include NKJV, CSB, and NLT. I have others, including ESV, NET, and a handful from the RSV/NRSV/NRSVue family. An honourable mention goes to the Good News Bible, which was the translation of my first ever Bible, and NIV, which was my second Bible. Agreed that some translations and paraphrases require a degree of caution.

I was thinking of buying Bibliotheca as my reader's Bible. Do you think that translation is okay even though it's not a major translation?

Tim, do you happen to know if the content is any different than the blue version. I got the blue one about 6-7 months ago and now they come out with this beauty! If they are the same then I probably don’t need to spend the money but I keep looking at it! I know the paper (40gsm) is the same. I asked Ascension but they never got back to me. I did check out the new Ignatius Press Old and New Testament and I ordered that one. Let me know…. Thanks for all the reviews.

Great recommendations! Only I would warn against the purple pens by Me Pen or any company- mine bled through and feathered over time. Other Mr Pen pens are great! Its just seems like all purple pens

I don't mind reading any Bible translation that is: 1) translated from the original biblical languages; 2) translated by committee; 3) and translated by scholars with PhD's in relevant fields from accredited research universities. I find that the more intellectually/academically-based a translation is, the fewer theological biases there are. My personal favorites are the RSV2CE, ESV, NKJV, and NLT.

Excellent compare/contrast evaluation. I miss the 2018 editions printed on Italian paper in the Netherlands!

Hey Tim. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Your example of reading the Bible in different translations inspired me. I read through the CSB this year and am reading through the NRSV now. I modified professor Grant Horner's reading plan to make it easier. Perhaps someone will find this helpful: Pentateuch: 2 chapters/day Historical (Joshua to 2 Chronicles) 3 ch/day Wisdom (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs) 1 ch/day Psalms: 2 ch/day Prophets: 3 ch/day Gospels: 1 ch/day Acts-Rev: 2 ch/day At that rate the entire bible could be read in 90 days.

NKJV plus CSB is a very good blend. If you add the The Text-Critical English New Testament Byzantine Text Version by Robert Adam Boyd which I highly recommend than it seems to be perfect. Greetings from a German brother.

Happy Thanksgiving! Honest question, should non-catholic faith followers buy a bible with the apocrypha contained in it or just purchase it as a stand alone resource?

Interestingly, as I've been reading various books from the early centuries (such as the Life of St Anthony written by St Athenasius) you'll see lots of Scripture quoted, and there are quotes from the 73 book Bible. I used to be a 66 book guy, until looking further into the matter seeing that the Church didn't intend 66 books.

I and II Macabees are in Catholic Canon so a Catholic Study Bible maybe useful as it is about Hannakuh. Or an Orthodox Study bible as that would be translating from the original Greek.

Happy Thanksgiving Tim to you & yours. Yes, I do. Of course I say that to apply to me as a cradle Catholic who left the church for years & read the NIV & my to go to Bible & major source was the NKJV. That's where my adult faith was formed. Now in my 70s have returned home to my Catholic faith getting to know the Catholic translations & traditions and I tend to research scripture to make sure I see the Holy Spirit there & I do. I appreciate your reviews & my purchases the past year have come from those. Thank you. 🙏

I think any translation that is faithful to the meaning and understanding of the text is fine to read. I read from many and they shed light many times on texts that I’m not clear on in my primary translation. I haven’t really read any of the apocryphal books though. But maybe I will venture into them sometimes. Anyway thanks for the video and Happy Thanksgiving

I prefer one with the words of christ in red.

"The best Bible translation is the one you'll read. The second-best Bible translation is the one you'll read from a different denominational tradition." - Nickels, kinda

Happy thanks giving Tim,I think it's good to read different translations if you didn't you wouldn't find the best one for you

I tend to go from the NKJV to the NASB. I do read the ESV at times and the NLT. I have started to read the CSB (along with the HCSB) and the BSB. As far as the NIV I do have my 1984 version only. What are your thoughts on the Amplified Version?

Tim, I’m a new subscriber. Li e your channel and what you do for the Kingdom. I did not know you were from Kentucky. I don’t live too far from you. Me and my family would love to visit your church sometime.

Thanks for the review!! This Bible is on sale on Amazon for Black Friday! So I just bought it. I bought my first Schuyler Bible this month and was so excited. But my husband doesn’t like the thinner paper of 28gsm. I tend to agree where I feel it might wrinkle or rip easily. I was a bit bummed because I love the Schuyler Bible look. However, I love how this Bible is a beautiful green and with thicker paper. :)

Could you please review the ignatius bible study old and new testament? Every review I have seen so far says nothing about the study notes. If it is more of that modernist garbage then I dont want it. God bless you.

Amen indeed All About Jesus 🙏 🙌

Why does Jesus say in another gospel, I do nothing on my own initiative only would I behold the Father in heaven doing. And how could he pray to himself when he went in the wilderness to pray? Thank you

Happy Thanksgiving, Tim! Thank you for all the Bible reviews, introducing me to current Christian metal, and being a great example.of a humble and giving person walking with Jesus.

God bless you and your family. Happy Thanksgiving brother Tim! 🛐🕊🙏🏽

The ESV personal size study bible is the radist travel size bible for me to carry!
