I like that the words of Christ are NOT in red, and that there are cross-references at the bottom of each page. But would you tell me if there are any textual footnotes? E.g., for Isaiah 7:14, is there a footnote that reads "or virgin"? Kudos to those of you who did not eschew the RSV.
The RSV Sovereign and Humble Lamb KJV refresh are the two that I've personally picked up, and they are both great. 2024 has been a good year so far in the Bible publishing world
So glad to see the LSB personal paragraph reference. I somehow thought you weren't a big fan of the translation. I have come to love it, I have several versions and I keep the LSB PPR in my car for easy access. I am considering the KJV by Humble Lamb, as I have their NKJV Shepherd, it's look, layout and cover is gorgeous, first Bible for me with Jesus' words in blue, so beautiful to read to that way. A stunning Bible. Thank you for all your videos, they've been a great help to me, exposing me to new Bibles and translations that I had never read.
All of those Bibles are wonderful, Tim. I especially like Humble Lamb's KJV Lion Refresh. I ordered mine in the Storm Gray binding - beautiful! I'm looking forward to the Humble Lamb NLT SonRise due in January and your review of it.
Can’t argue with any of those. The RSV Sovereign is tops for me. I might add the Life in Christ Bible from Thomas Nelson. I’ve been going through it some since I got it a couple of weeks ago, and I think it’s very timely in a world obsessed with identity. Thanks for the video.
I cannot say what my favorite study bible is, because there are so many good ones out there. I have a lot of good study bibles that I have purchased on eBay. Most of the time I will buy a used study bible at a low price. I have bibles to give away. You always have good information Tim.
First of all, congrats on 2M+ views & 10K+ subs, though I'm kinda surprised, kinda disappointed it isn't more. Folks just don't know what they're missing. You pack a wealth of useful, often needful information and always-intelligent, Word-based, informed opinions in a very short, sometimes astonishingly short time. Always a fun, edifying experience, Sir, even when we disagree. As for your list, I have friends who and have vouched for every volume there, especially the LSB & the NASB'95. I can speak for 2: I have wanted the HL Lion as my retirement "sports car" since its first printing, but especially now with the cool refinements. That CSB is my wife's PERFECT Bible, her every day reader and take-to-church Bible. I gave her the marbled burgundy calf edition. I also outfitted my 2 sons and their wives with the best Bible/Sword of the Spirit for each of them. All 4 were given TN Premier Collection NKJV's in brown or black goatskin, as they preferred, in 4 different block designs, each a perfect fit for the recipient. What a blast it continues to be for the whole Shannon clan. I relate this to thank you for inspiring BibleQuest 2024 in this old retiree. I had $500 maximun to spend on this whole list. Somehow, I was able to get NIB copies of everything plus 4 zippered NKJV compacts for the kids and a "genuine leather" (smells like a new football) CSB center-column thinline for my wife's purse. The math nerd in me did the math in my head: $1285 total list price for the 10 Bibles, and the total I paid was $437. For everything. God is great. Not gonna go there, Mr Currington, but point taken. I wanted to celebrate at the unboxing of this with Lake Erie perch and fries; modern day loaves and fishes. We had pizza and jojos. Close enough. Keep walking, brother. God bless your efforts and your heart.
4:50 I've been saying for years now that a publisher needs to make a journaling bible where the note taking space is in the bottom like a blank study bible rather than in the margin. This is the closest I've seen to that so far
@@anickelsworthbiblereviewsyes thanks. I did manage to find one and have it being shipped up here. Hoping to have it on Tuesday. I got it for 50% off, which was a good deal.
I love the Sovereign Bibles and have the KJV and NKJV and so ordered the RSV. I don’t know if the standard is different in the UK compared to the USA but had to send mine back. It arrived with a very strong chemical smell, very light printing almost grey rather than black and the red drop caps were various shades, with no consistency. Very disappointing so had to send it back. My son ordered one too and the leather was poor quality with various other issues, requested a replacement and that too was poor quality so had to be returned.
I believe I mentioned in my original review that all the sovereigns have some consistency issues with the red letters. The print on this one is slightly lighter than the KJV and NKJV, but I don’t think it is gray. I do hope they move away from India in the future because they don’t seem to be as precise.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Yes I remember now, I believe you did. The black in the one I ordered was very light and yes basically a grey colour. Such a shame. Thank you for your response.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews I heard the RSV has excellent literary quality which makes me interested in reading it! For example, it uses “Thou” when speaking to God. I don’t like the KJV because of the archaic language but I am interested in literary quality.
is it normal to receive Italian cowhide bibles with a tiny shiny spot the size of a water drop or 2 on it according to the natural leather? Did yours come like that?
I wish you would state the actual font size! Telling me it a “large print” isn’t much help as “large print” varies from Bible layout to layout. Telling me the print size is a 10 or a 12 or a 9 or whatever is much more helpful! I have had to send several bibles back because of print size being too small! Just my “Nickles worth”!👍😊
Absolutely agree with the LSB Personal Paragraph Reference. I got one of the Royal Jongbloed editions, it’s hands down my favorite daily reader.
I love the classic look of the RSV Sovereign with those drop caps. Chefs kiss.
I like that the words of Christ are NOT in red, and that there are cross-references at the bottom of each page. But would you tell me if there are any textual footnotes? E.g., for Isaiah 7:14, is there a footnote that reads "or virgin"?
Kudos to those of you who did not eschew the RSV.
I’ll have to check, but I think there are footnotes.
The Humble Lamb is my fave!

It’s certainly not among my favorites, but it’s still very nice.

Great pics...I have the Sovereign in genuine leather, and the LSB PPR in calfskin. The PPR specifically is a phenomenal block.
Your Lion refresh is gorgeous 🤩🤩
Thank you, Brother Tim🌹🌟🔥🌟🌹

I have the rsv in the purple faux leather. Beautiful bible
The LSB Wide Margin has been my favorite pick-up so far this year. I prefer it to the ESV Journaling Bible as a note-taking text.
Yeah but I was focusing on bibles released this year.
I cannot say what my favorite study bible is, because there are so many good ones out there. I have a lot of good study bibles that I have purchased on eBay. Most of the time I will buy a used study bible at a low price. I have bibles to give away. You always have good information Tim.
Wife loves the slate grey CSB, her current favorite translation! She sends her thanks for the video!
Great theme for a video -
I enjoyed this one
100% agree with your choices. I would love to get my hands on the last Bible you showed, but I have to pay rent instead! :)
I had to come back and watch this video a second time. The RSV Sovereign bible came to mind. You said it has a 10 point font.
Technically 9.5.

That smith and jones is gorgeous wow. Layout is not for me but the quality is there 👍🏾
I wish I could afford some of those, especially the Humble Lamb. I like the blue letters.
There is an NKJV Maclaren with blue letters that’s very affordable.

Do you like the Blue goatskin FY PPR?
I have the Italian Cowhide and love it. But the yapp is like…whoa…over full.
Guessed the first one right. I would add the NKJV ICR
It’s a good one but to have an RSV in print for a great price is just too good to pass up.

I’d say each cut has its own unique flaws. Mine had one spot but it looked natural to me.

I have reviewed all of these bibles. That’s where I offered more detail.
Thank you!
Humble Lamb gets the W
Can you please tell me what the W means. I've seen people use it lately, but I have no idea. Thanks.
@@Homebodyheart
Hi,
The W mean the win 🏆
@@rossmoodie8489 okay, thanks 👍
If I didn't already have a CSB in collection I would definitely get that Grey slate one. It's the best looking Bible I have ever seen
That's the only that's on my list to get when I buy a CSB :P
How about new Bible Ethiopian 88?... Hmm
It wasn’t released in 2024 and if they only had a decently printed edition.
