    Great quick review! Good timing on the zoom close-ups-especially with the font design. 👍🏼

    Keep it up, sir. Your reviews are relaxing. 👍🏼

    I wish Schuyler would offer the ESV in a red letter edition as they do in the NKJV, which is probably my favorite translation.

    @nathanielmiller1980 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Curious on your thoughts on the usage of these ESV Bibles as you search for the “perfect” one. For instance, I imagine the Topaz would serve as an excellent preaching Bible or following along a sermon due to its layout and verse by verse format, but a Schuyler would be better for personal reading.

    • @timwildsmith
      @timwildsmith  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree with completely that Nathaniel, which is why I like to have different Bibles for different uses. The next two review (Allan and Crossway) offer some interesting choices as well.

    Something that I’m not sure I would like is the bold modern looking font for the book names over the more classic fonts typically used. Can anyone speak to this and whether they felt the same way or not and if their opinion changed after receiving it?

    • @AlvinRyder
      @AlvinRyder 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had a blue bible once, loved the cover but they tend to be paired with blue art-gilding which tends to be a pale blue, looks dirty with use more than red/salmon or even just plain white does. Love the Topaz (mine is calfskin black, I prefer the robust feel, not floppy goat style)

    Do you reckon they’ll ever do an NASB version? Cheers for the video man too!

    • @timwildsmith
      @timwildsmith  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They told me that expanding to other translations was in the plans. NKJV is set for release in February, followed by KJV later next year. I would think that NASB and NIV will be on the schedule after that.

    This looks fantastic. I cannot find the Bible in the “perfect format” for me, but this comes close. The pages seem a bit thin? Are they comparable to the Zondervan premiere collection? Positives: goat skin cover, gorgeous blue, gold/blue gilding, Red letter edition, ESV, general layout verse etc. I wish it was a bit larger font print, but 10 point is acceptable.

    I just got this (er, black calfskin) in the mail today. I've read Isaiah 42 and Hosea 2. This Bible is everything Crossway's two-column verse-by-verse should be, but isn't because it's text goes into the gutter.
