Thank you for the great review! I already ordered one, and waiting for it to arrive. I like the idea behind this Bible, being centered on the text and the story, rather than chapter and verse division. I am very glad they fixed the transition from Acts 21 to 22. This one thing in particular bothers me in most Bibles, so I'm glad you pointed that out. I like the layout of the text, paragraph indentations without subtitles, absence of even page summaries at the top margins, no spaces between chapters. Awesome. Now if only someone at Cambridge were brave enough to take this Bible and go one step further and just remove all chapter and verse numbers, and make a reader's edition out of it. This edition seems like a perfect "in-between" one, where you could read the text with minimal distraction, and still have a full usability in quickly finding your reference - whether listening to or preaching a sermon, studying the Scripture, or when you need to quickly write down the reference with your thoughts when something jumps out during casual Bible reading (if you don't write in your Bible, but in a notebook, PC, phone or something). More and more I've been gravitating toward paragraph style Bibles (as opposed to verse-by-verse layout) or better yet, full reader's editions, but I've yet to find a perfect one of those. In each case they at least retain chapter division by spacing them out on a page, or putting a chapter number in light font so your cannot help but be interrupted in the flow of thought by it, defeating the true purpose of the reader's edition in my view.
I am really liking the look of this Bible. I have dyslexia and trying to read the KJV in verse by verse and small text is proving impossible. I have seen a number of videos/review videos on this Bible and the Clarion. So i have a question, with me attempting to read the KJV Bible from cover to cover, which Bible would you recommended? Any advice would be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.
Hi Jayson. This one has a better reading experience. The text is cleaner with no distractions, and the text is brought out of the bend in the inner margin. This keeps the lines straight, making it easier to keep your place on the page.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Thank you (from here in the UK). Great reviews by the way. I have recommended your channel and website to a friend who last year started Bible studies. I thank you again and i am off to place my order.
Hey Randy, have you noticed if there's a printing error in your copy at 1st Peter 5:1? There is in mine. I ordered the 2005 edition in leather from Cambridge recently after seeing your review. In mine, the verse begins with, 'I exhort', but it should read, " The elders which are among you, I exhort". The first six words of the verse are omitted. Other than that, I think it's a beautiful Bible, but it's a shame to pay 135.00 for a top quality Bible like this and find this type of omission. God bless.
Mine matches yours. Same for the updated personal size and the electronic version on Logos. I'm not sure if there's a reason it was left out or if it was accidental. I'll see what I can find.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Thanks Randy. I wonder if David Norton was responsible for this or if it is a printer error that no one bothered to correct? I can live with mine the way it is. There was enough room on the page for me to write the first six words of the sentence in ink in about the same size as the print. So far, that's the only place I've found with any problems.
I heard back from Cambridge. Here's the information they provided: "The error has been corrected and the latest printing should have the missing words."
Hey I got one through Coles books last year or so around Christmas. My Bible has a softer and nicer grey binding to it. I paid over 200 dollars for my copy everything you showed is in my Bible.
Thank you for the review. You sped passed the TOC page that listed the books included in the Apocrapha and I thought please let him go back please please please. Lol Could you please list them here? I'm wondering if Enoch is included and also which of Maccabees.
Sorry about that. It doesn't include Enoch. It has 1 and 2 Maccabees. They include: 1 Esdras 2 Esdras Tobit Judith The rest of Esther The Wisdom of Solomon Ecclesiasticus Baruch, with the epsitle of Jeremiah The Song of the Three Holy Children The History of Susanna Bel and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasses 1 Maccabees 2 Maccabees The Apocrypha is placed between the Old and New Testaments.
I believe there was a huge Folio Society edition with the David Norton's text from 2008 that usually goes for $100-$150. They also have a 2011 2-volume set that is very expensive. The 08 version looks pretty nice for an at home study bible
The personal size is available with or without it. It's also available in hardcover. The third one is a Cambridge, but it doesn't come with the Apocrypha.
Hello, I have a hardback version of this, I was wondering if there was any difference in paper quality between the calfskin and the hardback version as I've seen you have reviewed the calfskin version.
It seems as though the only version available with this format is the personal edition. Do you know of any other bible with the David Norton 1611 format but in a fuller size? I'd be using it as a reader at home, and the bigger font size would be great.
Bible Buying Guide I think my next purchase is a WM Concord. I loved the Concord but it’d be amazing to write in while studying. I have so many things going through my head with this read through. Next one will be crazy.
Can anyone tell me what typos this one has that got fixed in the new personal edition?Btw you can still order this as I just did through their support. Was about $127 us.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Most of Bibles that have 2 Esdras has only 70 verses in chapter 7 (half of this chapter [70 verses] is missing)! Thank you for your answer!!!
I have this in the Personal Size. The text is a little small for me to read comfortably, however. Do you have any remarks or review of the Personal Size? Also, I have a Bible that I can't find anything about, even on Google. It is a Bill Glass KJV Bible. It is light brown/tan in color. It has a football helmet on the front. Have you ever heard of it, and do you know anything about its features and quality? I really like the feel of the paper in the Bill Glass Bible. It has that old, more rough feeling. EDIT: I didn't finish the video because I thought I saw everything about the Bible that I wanted to. I see that you have the personal size on the video. Hehe. Sorry about that. 2ND EDIT: I see that you didn't really comment on the quality and features of the Personal Size.
I haven't heard of the Bill Glass Bible. The paper sounds interesting. Who's the publisher? I've only done a written review of the personal size: biblebuyingguide.com/cambridge-paragraph-bible-personal-size-calfskin-review/
The paper is 40 gsm OP Opaque from Finland. You can see more about the paper in the written review: biblebuyingguide.com/new-cambridge-paragraph-bible-review-and-special-offer/
What kind of you believe bible in different scriptures? I believe that the Bible kjv is very true completely from 1611 since they came to America for freedom worship Lord. Don’t let confusion you have have changed get better and I told you no! 119:89 in palms. Thank Lord for saved me. ❤

Is it still possible to get one of the larger size? My eyes are not the best and I like that it has a larger print.
The last I heard they don't have them anymore.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Ok. Thanks for letting me know. Maybe I can mortgage the house and get a used copy....

I wish that I had purchased one of these back in 2005!
Really interested in this edition. How well has it held up?
Great review. I heard that added words are not in italics, which is tragedy. I was on the fence about getting one, now I do not think I will.
@14:22 your personal bible on right and your third bible shown is it with Apocrypha? And are they both from Cambridge? In a budget so still looking😁

Does the Cambridge have the books of Enoch and Jasher?
I love the calfskin edition

This is the only one in a larger size. Cambridge still had a few left the last time I checked. I'd love to see this available in multiple sizes.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Thanks to the video, I finally ordered one from Cambridge today. It took awhile due to covid, but can't wait for it to come in.
I would think Clarion would be nicer due to edge lined and perimeter stitched
I'd love to have a Clarion with this paper and print size.

Your version is with an apocrypha! What about 2 Esdras chapter 7? Does it have 70 or 140 verses???
It has 70.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Most of Bibles that have 2 Esdras has only 70 verses in chapter 7 (half of this chapter [70 verses] is missing)! Thank you for your answer!!!
Getting one! Love this beauty 😀
Hello. I am trying to find out the ISBN for the fullsize without Apocrypha edition (not the personal size).
Hi. Unfortunately, they only made the full size with Apocrypha.
