One thing that has drawn me to the NRSV lately is it is a translation that’s not controlled by a single publisher or denomination. That’s fairly rare today when you think about it.
It was at the 44 Second mark that I hit pause, headed to the EB website and put in my order for this beauty! Now I can unpause and finish your fine review. Thanks Tim! ✨ ↘️✝️🛜↗️↘️
I have this bible and I highly recommend it. I accidentally bought 2 of them on Amazon, so I gave the other copy to my Orthodox next door neighbours, who were greatful to have a bible in English
As far as the cool look of this Bible it is one of my very very favorite Bibles. And it is quality leather and construction with a great translation. I am about to buy this right now. I wish they would also make this exact Bible in the NRSVue also. I would snap it up immediately.
Very impressed! They’ve taken the best from other premiums, the speckles, the purple, edge lined…I love that it’s purple liner, the size… only wish it was in another translation. Love it has the Apocrypha though.
Great Bible, I love mine! I think I would have liked it to have references, but I am not sure I go back and forth on this. It is a nice reading Bible even if it is two column text. I am looking forward to what 2022 brings when the NRSVue text should be available to publishers!
Hey Tim! Does the apocrypha let you know between which verses the additions in Daniel belong? I always scratch my head when publishers include the apocrypha but then don’t tell you where the additions to Daniel, bel and a dragon, etc belong. In other words, let us know where these apocryphal writings would be placed if it was a Catholic Bible.
I really like the size of this bible. A goldilocks bible for me. Plus I really like the translation. 10 point font in comfort print is dark. Bold enough to be fun to READ.
@@patrickmarriott471 They’ve done a few ESV editions (like the MacArthur study Bible), but I think they only license it from Crossway for special runs.
My new church reads from this bible so I had to buy this gorgeous version and I love speckled edges on bibles and have even applied my own on some bibles I have. I'm an artist, btw, so it's worth it to experiement! Thanks so much for this review, Tim. I have seen this bible of yours when you made this video but had no reason to get one from Evangelical Bibles until now, plus it is currently only $105US but of course costs me more with currency conversion and shipping is a fair bit more. I love the size, too, but will change those ribbon colours. Can't wait to see it! Greetings from Australia!
I want to invest in a Bible for rebind. The rebind is about 450$. Do you feel this would be a good candidate? I want the apocrypha because of my church. & I don’t want to rebeind a Schuyler. But I want something that will last and has great craftsmanship to invest that much money into. Thanks!
If you really like this text block, then yes, I think it’s a great option (I really think you need to LOVE an interior layout in order to pay for a rebind).
@@timwildsmith I do! I’m just nervous with it being Zondervan and I guess made in China. I’m scared if the quality won’t hold up? What’s your thought on the paper quality holding over time? Thanks !
@@timwildsmith do you feel like this being “smith sewn” in China makes it less durable than say the Schuyler ? Or where does Zondervan cut costs?? Is it lower quality leather? In which case I don’t care because I’ll rebind. More trying to understand why this is so much cheaper than a Schuyler?? Any insight? Thanks
@@timwildsmith It’s really a debate in my head. If I could read double column and it not bother me, it would open up way more Bible possibilities, especially the Quentel. I just don’t want to sacrifice ability to focus with materials. Also, I think the audience would enjoy hearing your opinions on single vs double column! Just an idea
Managed to find this on Amazon for $79. It's hard to find an original NRSV anymore, especially with the Apocrypha. Like it better than the NRSVue which, I think, is too agenda driven, resulting in unfaithful translations in some places with misleading textual notes.

WOW!!! What a beautiful Bible. I LOVE the NRSV. I have used it since 1990. I am so glad to see a high-end Bible in this translation.
This one is great!!

Are you still enjoying the NSRV purple ? Your the newest comment. Did it meet your expectations?
Thanks for the shout out again!
You’re the man, Tim!
I just like to hold this Bible sometime or smell it even when I'm not reading it .
Call me crazy but it works for me.
This is one of my favorite Bibles hands down. Zondervan really hit a home run!
Yeah!!
I've almost bought this Bible several times. I need to just go ahead and pull the trigger.
I like it a lot!
This is hands-down my favorite Bible to come out this year and will quickly become my daily reader.
Nice! So great to hear.
A 10 POINT FONT looks very good in the comfort print and the space on either side also makes it quite readable I think. Love the 2 column layout.
I always learn something new about Bibles watching your channel and I love that. I love the color Bibles myself, but Black is the Classic.
My mom bought me this for Christmas. I know because I ordered it for her. So excited.
Hahaha.. awesome!!
I do have a NRSV Bible made by Cambridge but THIS one is certainly calling to me. I love the Nelson Premier Collection.
Very impressed! They’ve taken the best from other premiums, the speckles, the purple, edge lined…I love that it’s purple liner, the size… only wish it was in another translation. Love it has the Apocrypha though.
Good point!
I'd like to have this in the NRSVue
Tim.. thanks for sharing your liking of the New Revised Standard Version.
👍🏼
I have TLB(the Living Bible) paraphrase with the apocrypha, catholic edition, I love the Bible having additional books, very interesting read.
I like when subheadings are center justified like that. The NASB does the same think, I think.
I wish they would make THIS Bible in the same size but in a lot of other translations like the NASB 95..CSB Etc.
Maybe add a blue cover
And a red one.
Next to blue ...purple is my favourite colour.
Great Bible, I love mine! I think I would have liked it to have references, but I am not sure I go back and forth on this. It is a nice reading Bible even if it is two column text. I am looking forward to what 2022 brings when the NRSVue text should be available to publishers!
Thanks for sharing!
that is a beautiful Bible. The purple color looks great.
💜💜💜
😂the color purple symbolizes royalty.

Hello bro watching in the Philippines nice beautiful bible
Thanks for watching!
I have never read the Apocrypha but in parts .
But it would be fun to read and comfortable in this size BIBLE and with comfort PRINT.
Tim..I got THIS today. Very nice. THANKS. Like the colour AND the speckled pages.
Glad you like it!
@@timwildsmith I think this size may be my goldilocks bible. Between Quentel and PSQ. Plus I love the translation.
@@gleasonparker1684 Cool, I like the smaller sized premium bibles, too. Just ordered mine from E B to me in Australia!
NRSV is in my top translations to read, surpassed only by the RSV and KJV/AV. Might pick this one up! :)
It’s a great edition!
NRSVue = best version hands down
I love the color and the speckled page edges. Mine should be here shortly. Maybe today, It’s a great price too.Thanks for your review.
You’re welcome!!
@@timwildsmith got mine today! It’s gorgeous and I love the paper! It’s not bright white! Feels good in your hands too!
I really like the size of this bible. A goldilocks bible for me. Plus I really like the translation. 10 point font in comfort print is dark. Bold enough to be fun to READ.
Agreed!
This bible is phenomenal! This in the ESV would be my ONE.
It’s a winner for sure.
@@timwildsmith does Zondervan produce ESV?

Thanks for sharing! This one turned out really great!
Zondervan hits a home run with the Premier collection I think.
Me too!
Thank you for reviewing an NRSV - it's a translation that seems to be ignored a lot.
I really enjoy it.
Come to think of it: I wonder why Zondervan didn't go for the NRSVue for this one.
I will use your link on this rare beauty, hope you get a commission!
Saint Purpuraria pray for us.
Thanks!
Hey Tim, do you know is Schuyler is planning on doing an NRSV Quentel in the future?
Yes, they are!
@@timwildsmith AMAZING! I assume you will be reviewing it lol
Is there a more premium personal size version (like the PSQ) with Apokrypha, maybe even NKJV?
Already got it but I'm gonna watch the master review it anyway
Hahaha… 💜
Coming back to this a year later: how does this one compare to the newer NRSVUE Premier Collection?
Different size, and the layout is different... but overall quality is the same.
Great review Tim. Do they make this Bible without the Apocrypha? I love the look of this Bible.
I don’t think they make this exact Bible without the Apocrypha, but they do have several other editions.
@@timwildsmith thank you
If this had the Book of Enoch I’d buy it in a second. Does anyone know of a premium bible with Enoch in it?
Hey Tim, do you like this one or the Side Column Reference better? I would assume this is almost identical to your beloved Allan NRSV?
I think I prefer this one, actually. Identical to the Allan... not so much, but it's closer.
Replace the blue ribbon and speckles with green and it can be dubbed The Big Easy Bible!
Hey-o!! Hope you’re well, Mike!
Just beautiful! ❤️
💜💜
I wish they would do the purple without the apochrypha.
That would be nice to have both options.
That's a great cover and page edging. I hope they start doing this kind of thing more.
Agreed! It’s a nice one.
That Bible looks very cool!
Agreed!
That is a beautiful Bible!
YES!!! 💜
@@timwildsmith Tim, if I want to be a Bible reviewer, is being named Tim a prerequisite? 😉

I got one coming
36 GSM is better for me than 28 GSM especially in THIS size BIBLE.
What helps you focus more, double or single column?
Hmmm… I’m not sure.
@@timwildsmith It’s really a debate in my head. If I could read double column and it not bother me, it would open up way more Bible possibilities, especially the Quentel. I just don’t want to sacrifice ability to focus with materials.

I don’t think one is necessarily better for focus than the other. It’s really a personal preference.
Aarrgh! Can't decide between this one and the NRSVue with apocrypha Premium Goat Premier Collection...
Both are great... tough decision!
A good-size... almost a Goldilocks Bible.

I personally do not like the speckle. It makes it look like some kind of processed cured meat with bits in it (which on the other hand is delicious).
"were gonna be" Not very elegant speech to introduce an elegant publication.
