It's so good. I watched your video a few months ago and it pushed me over the top to grab a copy. Grateful for that lol TBS makes some fantastic bibles, just love the paper and the meriva calfskin.
I will never use another Bible! The Westminster, in all its sizes, has every base covered. 200,000 cross references tops any other reference Bible by a long shot, plus you get the original King James translator’s margin notes, something I really appreciate. I currently use the Westminster Compact as my daily reader. I love that there are paperback, hard back, and calveskin versions. I paid $21 for the large print hard back, which I really love!
I ordered this Bible after watching your review and I’m very happy with it. Given the number of references (200,000) I expected many of the references to be superfluous and vague but they are quite relevant and applicable. Many reference bibles seem to base their references on specific words (concordance style) but the Westminster includes verses related to the concept or thought, even if the words are different. I also like how the references appear in the margin beside the verses. I don’t lose my place when chasing references. The superscript letters are super helpful, especially considering the large number of references. Most verses contain multiple reference groups. So what would otherwise be 20 references listed under one verse is instead listed as 4 groups of 5 references. I’ve found the asterisks for antiquated words to be helpful as in some cases I am not aware that the meaning of the word has changed. I just wanted to thank you for the review. It was spot on and very helpful. It is my favorite Bible. 👍
This is my daily driver! It didn’t hold up very well though. I’ve had it since about Feb 2020 and had to tape down a lot of the front of the book because the pages started to detach from the spine ( Genesis 6-7, introduction pages). I was planning on switching the Reformation Heritage as my main but we’ll see. I love this Bible and it’s been a great blessing to me!
Wow that is rare to hear, did you reach out to TBS I'm sure they would be happy to fix that problem. Also I have switched to the Reformation Heritage as my main bible as well;) it's a good one! Thanks for watching and commenting!
This has been my favorite more premium like KJV. I sold it years ago and missed it since. I did enjoy the quality of the leather it’s stiff compared to others. I’ll have to check out the reformation heritage too. Is the reformation heritage only a study Bible?
Yesterday i randomly walked in to the Bible store to buy a picture Bible for my 6 year old son. As i was checking out the wall. I see Thomas Nelson kjv full color burgundy leather( been waiting for this Bible since covid). I open the box and i see this westminster inside😅. Not sure if it was used or not. As rhe Bible was absolutely in an untouched condition as the ribbons were also tucked inside like the are in a new Bible. Without a second thought i bought this Bible ans also the Thomas nelson kjv full colour. Both for like 4600 INR(55 USD). After I got saved. This is the second most joyous day in my life 😄 I always wanted a good leather Bible that's not big or small not so thin or beefy. This is a perfect carry in the bag daily Bible. This will be my everyday Bible going forward. I'm blessed 😇
Recently received this Bible (This video influenced that). It has become my everything Bible. Love my Concords and all but this layout, size, and tools are really unbeatable. A true wide margin of this Bible would be great!
@@BibleFanatics Also, just an FYI. The newer prints are now Belarus Printcorp. Still very good quality. I would assume just like the compact and large print.
@@BibleFanatics I have to tell you that I found a deal on a Jongbloed Westminster Bible. Boy, I have to say the old construction and paper is quite better. The Belarus, while a great Bible still and the paper is sufficient, the Jongbloed is on a different level. Hope all is well brother, God bless you and your family!
I'd have to agree. I've done so much research and gone through several dozen plus bibles and this is #1. The quality isn't top tier, but the text block or layout is what makes this bible a must have. This as your carry bible and the: The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible as your home study bible, would make a perfect combo.

Hello great video thank you, just to let others know you can get these on Walmart too now. I just bought one I'm so excited! I just wanted a bible with tons of references so I can study better. It's just an amazing bible.
I have the large print. If they would do one thing, I wish they'd make the letters a bit fatter/bolder. It's a big font, but the letters are skinny. Compare the large print to the Cambridge Large Print Text/old TBS Family bible which technically have a smaller font, but are arguably more readable because of their boldness vs that of the Westminster large print.
@@BibleFanatics well from what I can tell I really like it I like you say that leather is great and Trent is good and I've never seen so many references and it's a handy little bible I got one just like yours It's just hard for me to give up the Old common Man Bible because I love his references
@@BibleFanatics Hi, brother. Usually the description section is great for copy/pasting the specs of the item being reviewed for an easy quick glance all in one place. Also links to where you can buy the items being reviewed in the video are very useful there as well.
I have that bible too, but I got a conviction about them being protestants, and how they believe in calvanism. I haven't looked at the beginning notes before each chapter, but I stopped using it because it might be calvanistic notes. Baptist aren't reformers though. Martin luther was a harlot baby, not a baptist . He still clinged to false doctrine. But still, I wouldn't say the tbs bibles are bad, its just a conviction that I have . I might even still read it after seeing what they say in their notes.
1 Jn. 4:10; Jn. 3:16; Jn. 3:17; 1 Jn. 4:9; 1 Jn. 2:2; Jn. 3:15 Hi! Bro Zach! Good n bLessed day in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour! How much it cost to day Dec. 31, 2023? Thanks and the Lord Jesus Christ continuously bLessed thee!
@@BibleFanatics I guess paper shortage issue or something. They are out of stock on a lot of stuff. But, when they are back in stock, they can chalk up sale based on your review... ;)
Right, because the Hebrew/Aramaic Old Testament and the Greek New Testament just got it all wrong, LOL! Not to mention the fact that the Latin Vulgate was the Bible used by the Christian Church for nearly one thousand years before the King James Bible was ever produced. But okay…
Okay I've had mine for about 2 weeks and I absolutely love it it is grown on me
Amen! I have seen your videos where you are using it! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying it brother! It truly is a gem of a bible.
My husband just gave this to me as a gift today. I love it! The pages are so soft! Great review.
Great review. I just got this Bible and was blown away at how practical and well made it is for the price.
Right! It's amazing!
Mine will be this with the metrical Psalms, and I have all that I need in one volume!
Amen!
It's so good. I watched your video a few months ago and it pushed me over the top to grab a copy. Grateful for that lol TBS makes some fantastic bibles, just love the paper and the meriva calfskin.
I'm so glad you got one! It is a gem for sure!
Best Bible ever published. Great video review as well.
Thank you for the kind words!
Excellent review! I have large print edition and love it!
Amen! Thank you for supporting them!
I ordered one and can't wait to get it.
You won't regret it!

How is your cover is it stiff or soft? The newer Belarus version is not stiff like the previous version

Think they switched from Jongbloed binding to one in Belarus since 2019. So that could be an issue to the quality.

I totally agree I am about to do a review of the Reformation Heritage Study Bible is Goatskin!
I thought your favorite is CBP 180 or Cambridge LP. What made you switch to TBS WRB?
What highlighters did you use on this? Idk what to use in mine and those highlights look great

Hello great video thank you, just to let others know you can get these on Walmart too now. I just bought one I'm so excited! I just wanted a bible with tons of references so I can study better. It's just an amazing bible.
That is awesome news. Did you get it online or in store? I hope you enjoy it it will be a blessing for sure! Also thanks for watching!
@@BibleFanatics I got it online 🙂
@@bethann2165 That is super cool!
I have the large print. If they would do one thing, I wish they'd make the letters a bit fatter/bolder. It's a big font, but the letters are skinny. Compare the large print to the Cambridge Large Print Text/old TBS Family bible which technically have a smaller font, but are arguably more readable because of their boldness vs that of the Westminster large print.
Good points! Although I don't know if this font would like good if it was as wide. It would be interesting though!
I also have a large print edition, wish they would of added the translaters to the reader.
Great review I just got one so I'm just getting used to it.
I look forward to your thoughts on it!
@@BibleFanatics well from what I can tell I really like it I like you say that leather is great and Trent is good and I've never seen so many references and it's a handy little bible I got one just like yours
It's just hard for me to give up the Old common Man Bible because I love his references
@@proverbs9103 I totally understand!!!
It would be of great assistance to your viewers if you included more information in the video description areas. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback, anything in particular you would like in the descriptions?
@@BibleFanatics Hi, brother. Usually the description section is great for copy/pasting the specs of the item being reviewed for an easy quick glance all in one place. Also links to where you can buy the items being reviewed in the video are very useful there as well.
@@DesignInNature Thank you, that is a great idea!
Is it because it has the closet layout to the 1611 edition?
For me, no. Although I believe since TBS worked with Cambridge a lot, it is based on the Cambridge text.
I have that bible too, but I got a conviction about them being protestants, and how they believe in calvanism. I haven't looked at the beginning notes before each chapter, but I stopped using it because it might be calvanistic notes. Baptist aren't reformers though.

I might even still read it after seeing what they say in their notes.
I like this bible too however the Belarus printed version has a different cover then the previous version that was stiff.
You are right. In future videos I will mention this. The Youngblood version lays more flat because of that.
1 Jn. 4:10; Jn. 3:16; Jn. 3:17; 1 Jn. 4:9; 1 Jn. 2:2; Jn. 3:15
Hi! Bro Zach! Good n bLessed day in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour! How much it cost to day Dec. 31, 2023?
Thanks and the Lord Jesus Christ continuously bLessed thee!
From evangelicalbible.com you can get it for around $80
Is it come in the NKJV?
No sir, just the KJV
out of stock.....
Oh wow! That is rare that that happens.
@@BibleFanatics I guess paper shortage issue or something. They are out of stock on a lot of stuff. But, when they are back in stock, they can chalk up sale based on your review... ;)
@@casey1167 Haha well thank you for the kind words. I love helping them out and love the joy believers have when they get one of their bibles!
There is only one bible and that is the KING JAMES VERSION ONLY
Right, because the Hebrew/Aramaic Old Testament and the Greek New Testament just got it all wrong, LOL! Not to mention the fact that the Latin Vulgate was the Bible used by the Christian Church for nearly one thousand years before the King James Bible was ever produced. But okay…
