I appreciate seeing an unprejudiced Protestant reviewing a Catholic bible. Doctrinal differences are important and should be discussed of course; however, uniting on things that are shared in common by all Christians is also very important. No one benefits from spreading ignorance and hatred. Especially in a time of secularism, Christians should be much more united than they are. God bless you.
Great review, Fr. now Bishop Barron was my teacher/ professor at Mundelein Seminary 1992 -97. He always taught about the three transcendental ways th God: goodness, truth, and beauty. You see this in this bible, goodness of our Lord and our other people in the gospels but also the lives of the saints, truth, of Gods word, but also the brilliant commentary, and beauty, the art work as you pointed out with the Rembrandt. This bible is so unique as it encompasses all three. I just got mine today as a gift after mass. Do you know the cost differences? God bless you and yours.
Thank you! I believe the cost is currently $30 for the paperback edition, $40 for the hardcover, and $60 for the leather... but the hardcover and leather editions are out of stock and being reprinted right now.
What an excellent review of this Bible! I appreciate your wife’s perspective as a Graphic Designer. I also really appreciate your specific example of the Bible’s treatment of the story of the Prodigal Son. This allowed me to see more clearly how unique this bible is. Beautiful! ❤️
Awesome! God you enjoyed it!
Having church fathers commentary on the Bible include is amazing and similar to style written in the Haydock Douay Reims
A nice man from Chicago gifted me this Bible after 1st Lent Sunday's Mass, in Argentina. We Latin Americans are not at all accustomed to Bibles this nice. Good review, I just subscribed.
Welcome!
I purchased the first two volumes of the Word on Fire Bible, which is the Gospels and the New Testament. They are gorgeous and a pleasure to read. So insightful. Bishop Barron designed these to be a cathedral in print. There are going to be seven volumes in all. I know that the Pentateuch came out, and not the Promised Land volume has been released.
Just ordered Vol 1 & 2! Also love the cover art and can't wait to read how they designed it....I also think that would make an incredible tattoo...
Nice!!
I got both volumes after watching your reviews and I totally love them ! Actually one of my projects for 2023 is to do a in depth study of the 4 gospels using volume 1 as my main resource.
I believe the Pentateuch is supposed to be released this year somewhere. I can hardly wait !
I'm so glad!
Oh, I really like this one!! Great job, Tim & Becca!!❤️
Thanks, Mom!
An excellent review of this gem. Probably yours is the best review. I couldn’t obtain it in the first go, but have just purchased it today. I hope it reaches me here, in India, soon! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I am glad to know that these videos are being watched and appreciated all the way in India!
I agree. Excellent review! All the others flip through the beautiful pages, which is helpful, but your pointing out how the Bible can dive deep into one topic is also really helpful!
Wow stunning bible 👍🙏💯☘️
It really is!
Loved the review! People think I'm exaggerating when I say I've never seen a Bible like it, but it's so true!
So true! It's totally original!
Great review Tim! I have not purchased mine yet but you have nudged me forward.
Thanks, Ed... glad to hear it!
I love Early, Baroque, and Renaissance religious art.
I definitely I want one of these
Great review Tim, now I understand all the buzz around this edition. Looks like it was well done.
Thanks! Yes... very well, indeed.
Beautiful! Can’t wait to buy it.
👍🏼❤️
This looks so beautiful - I want one!
It’s fantastic!!
thanks Tim great review lovely bible
Glad you enjoyed it!
As someone who leans heavily Lutheran, will I appreciate something like this?
I know a handful of Lutherans who appreciate beauty, art, and thoughtful commentary... so perhaps you’ll enjoy it!
I chose Word on Fire over Great Adventure Bible. I just wish it was a full bible, but now I know why. lol
They're working on more volumes!
I really am forced to ask, does Becka dye her hair white or is she very old but with amazing young looks? Sorry for being off subject guys!
Hahaha... she's actually growing out her gray hair.
the cover is EXCELLENT!
Oh yeah!
Good review, Tim!
Thanks, Jeff!
Great review. Can’t wait to receive mine.
Thanks... I'm sure you'll love it!
I was waiting for Becca to snatch the Bible out of your hands and walk away at the end of the video. 😁
Hahaha!
0:50 She is like "Oh Tim, stop it you checky minx" :-)
😂🤣😂
It looks really nice, particularly the artwork. But I think I read somewhere that the love of Monet is a root of all kinds of evils. Sorry. I couldn't resist. ;)
Hahaha!!! 😂🤣😂
In the future, history will simply call this 7 volume Bible set The Barron Bible.
No one is talking about the binding. I don't want to buy a glued only binding.
I used this one almost every day for a year and it held up great.
Will there be an Old Testament to pair this with?
YES! They're releasing the rest of the New Testament in 2021, and then they will be working on the Old Testament .
Trevor Hare Lestherbound versions of the Gospels are set to be back in stock in September, with the rest of the New Testament to be scheduled for June 2021, and they’ve said the Old Testament will be released over the course of I believe 4-5 volumes with one release per year. I see it as plenty of time to meditate on each volume’s contents for the release of the next.
SkyriderRJM I was about to not buy it because I want a complete bible as I’m new to practicing my religion but the way you put it makes a lot of sense man thanks!
Is there a map in this Bible?
There is not.
Is this a Catholic bible
Yes, it is.
I was going to buy it but I will not give this translation a chance. Sorry.
Bummer… I really love this one.
what's wrong with it?
Nrsv is really good translation. The transformation is either gonna be a word for word or thought for thought. Either way we have apps and software if you want the best translation the original transcripts of the Greek and Hebrew. Just because it has the word catholic in front of it doesn’t change the translation. 🤦♂️ 😊
If you don’t mind the modern ideological removal of he/she/man etc.. I had to phrase this way due to censorship.
It is a pretty Bible but let us at least mention that it represents a Catholic tradition that is not the same as biblical Christianity. It is lovely in appearance though.
Interesting comment. I know a lot of Catholics that I would describe as Biblical Christians.
@@timwildsmith The institution still teaches salvation through faith alone is anathema. The prayers to Mary and the saints, Purgatory, the primacy and infallibility of the Pope, force celibacy for the priesthood, salvific sacraments, absolution made by Priests, and several other doctrines that are found nowhere in the Bible and in fact contradict it are (including tradition being put on equal footing as Scripture) taught by the Roman church. There were many reasons for the reformation even beyond these.
While I am sure there exist good Christians in the Catholic Church, they need to get out. The institution itself is rampantly corrupt and teaches numerous unbiblical doctrines.
They can make a pretty Bible though if you forget they add non-canonical books to it.
@@SaneNoMore You know you can skip the deuterocanonical books right? either way most of them are novels or wisdom books, nothing too out of scripture
@@patrickwinn2389 just correcting some thing. Luther didn't removed this books, other protestants did later, he put them in a different sect called apocrypha.
