Thanks so much for this review. It was very detailed and helpful!
Great review!! You covered everything I would ask!
Thanks!
I love this Bible so much that I was blessed with the blue & black goatskin editions along with the cherry red calfskin edition. It took me over two years to settle on a main translation and now I have this edition for my main layout. I’m very familiar with the Concord KJV and I got so use to the layout I could find certain texts just by the layout. Now I plan on sticking with the Topaz layout to have that same experience in my Bible study and reading again. God bless.
Randy, I listened again to your review after I just bought a Topaz and I missed it the first time around. BOB ROSS! Now, he was a "wild" dude!!! Wild in the laid back sense. That was great...
Thanks! I'm a big Bob Ross fan.
This format may be one of my favourites from Cambridge.
Great review! I love how you go section by section through the Bible, with nice detail and close-ups of the text. Fantastic overview!
The Topaz seems like a neat medium-size Bible, with less clutter than a Turquoise for improved readability, and also easier to read than a Concord or Pitt-Minion, especially for not-so-young eyes, if not quite so easy-to-carry.
(Note: Edited after seeing your comparison with the Cambridge Turquoise, and realizing the Topaz is nearly the same size, but with a cleaner, more modern layout, similar to the Schuyler Quentel in not having the center column references dividing the text.)
Thank you!! The Topaz is excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing the NKJV next February.
Wow one day one day! Great Bible and great review as always Randy! God Bless 🙂
Thank you!
Awesome review - you know the one I’m waiting for! Lol 😂
Let's see... it starts with a K... :-D
That's so beautiful! The size is also perfect! This will be a close fight between the Schuyler Quentel and Cambridge Topaz!
Whoso has the biggest FONT in the fight usually wins. = QUENTEL. Over TOPAZ.
I love my ESV Topaz! Not many verse-by-verse ESV's on premium bible paper out there. TH-cam just cannot capture how nice it is. Seriously good. I also like the red chapter and verse numbers, makes working with references a joy (they aren't microscopic which also helps). I do prefer red letter text! All up is it perfect, probably not, but certainly the best verse-by-verse ESV. I have a Schuyler PSQ (small) which uses the same paper, also very nice but it's paragraph format, good for reading, not for jumping about. Both are good.
As for comments about KJV and NKJV, yes this would be a nice bible in any translation but you guys already have nice choices (i.e. you don't have to pay a premium, it's optional for you) but for ESV fans the Topaz should seriously be considered.
Thanks for the review Randy, well done.
I would love to see from Cambridge do a personal size topaz (PST) on all versions red letter same layout .💖
Wow! Amazing Bible 😍 Can’t wait for a NKJV just like this 🙏🏽
Great review. Which translations are next, do you know? NASB.?
Thanks! They haven't told yet.
Great review Randy! Both are nice, I see some design similarities to the Pitt minion. What other colours does the calfskin come in? Thanks!
Thanks! It also comes in black calfskin. Dark blue is the other goatskin color.
@@BibleBuyingGuide ok thanks for your quick reply!! 🙌
I kinda wish Cambridge would've added a black line between the 2 columns, just like they did with the tiny space between the References and column.
That would look nice.
Super!
Got the red one in calfskin ..ESV..
and NKJV in calf split. Titanium white helps opacity. I think.
I ordered red one today.
I would love to see a small bible W good font..like the CONCORD..but in other VERSIONS..e.g. NASB..NKJV..CSB..
Maybe a thinline with titanium white..
I am getting so addicted to bibles that I am counting fonts to go to sleep.
How do they present OT quotes in the NT? I had a verse-by-verse ESV by crossway that only used quotations, and coming from decades of NASB use, it was really hard to get comfortable with. I like a clear delineation in the type face for OT quotes.
Hi Josh. It's formatted like the Crossway.
You should check out the blue one---the most beautiful of this line in my opinion. The blue art gilt really complements the red accents (chapter numbers etc). They are definitely expensive, but I want to get one. And by the way, I think the maps are a modernization of the old Scofield maps. Very beautiful as well.
It sounds awesome! Thanks!
@@BibleBuyingGuide That is, the maps you showed. I am willing to bet they are the same in all of the topaz editions.
@@jeremygolding5281 I'm sure you're right.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Have a Merry Christmans and a happy new year!
Thank you@@jeremygolding5281! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Is there a premier edition of the Revised English Bible with the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical Books?
Hi Richard. There isn't one that I'm aware of.
Paste down liner 😞
Love the page setting though. I'm a big fan of references which don't clutter the page. There's a lot more white on each page compared with more traditional formats.
Do you think the Goatskin or the Calfskin would be better for long term durability or are they both about the same? Thanks
The goatskin cover will last longer. It has a more durable liner. I think the outer leather itself is about the same durability.
Beautiful Bibles! Too bad the calfskin isn't edge lined. That makes a big difference.
Thanks for your review!
My FAVOURITE size is personal size large print. Also ANYTH8NG FR9M CHURCH BIBLE PUBLISHING.
That's my favorite size as well. :-)
Would this be good for a personal Bible? Looking to buy a really nice ESV, to upgrade/go along with my 1995 NIV giant print Bible witch is paragraph format.
I tend to lean toward smaller Bibles, but I like it for a personal Bible. It's not too thick or heavy and the footprint is the same as the typical large print reference edition.
@@BibleBuyingGuide thank you for the fast reply and answer! Keep up the great work!
My cambridge clarion is so full of references that its actually distracting. All the notations break up the text. I dont even use references. Would this bible be better for me?
Hmm. I'll have to compare them and see. I'm away at the moment (we're celebrating our 30th anniversary), but I'll take a look at them in a few days.
Hi brother! I'm torn between the goat and the calf. I don't like a floppy bible, but this goat looks thicker like you say and I wonder if it'll stay more firm. I definitely don't like the floppyness of the Quentel.
Hi! I just compared them again and I think the goatskin would be too floppy. It's thinner and more floppy than the Quentel.
@@BibleBuyingGuide thank you for checking that!
@@snikpmotak you're welcome! Sorry it took so long.
Is this better than clarion?
I just got this (er, black calfskin) in the mail today. I've read Isaiah 42 and Hosea 2. This Bible is everything Crossway's two-column verse-by-verse should be, but isn't because it's text goes into the gutter.
How do you know where a new paragraph starts?
It doesn't show new paragraphs. The section headings are the only divisions in the text.
I wish they would just use 36gsm on full size bibles. 28gsm is like tissue paper: in a 300 dollar bible that is just wrong IMHO.
36gsm would probably be cheaper too. Indopaque is more expensive.
I prefer this ESV over Crossway.
Will this come out in NKJV?
Yes. I'm not sure of the release date.
Yes. I have NKJV in black split calf..yesterday.
Do they have it in NASB95?
No. Just the ESV, NKJV, and KJV.
Is the calfskin hard like calf split?
No. It's soft to the touch.
@@BibleBuyingGuide I went ahead and ordered the blue goatskin one. Hope it’s light enough to read in bed.
Is there a KJV Topaz?
Not yet, but they are working on it. I think it will release next year.
Kjv doesn’t have the seal either
Whoso has the biggest FONT in the fight..usually wins== QUENTEL .
Quentel has very small print concordance. TOPAZ you can read. Also evangelical bible seems to NOT offer calfskin. Another victory for Amazon . OR victim OF Amazon ?
Evangelicalbible tends to focus on goatskin. Calfskin doesn't sell as well.
@@BibleBuyingGuide yes THANKS. Will only get the one Quentel. Blue
.and one to send back.
Want to sell one to a brother?(;
Hi Javy. I can't sell review copies. Sorry :-( I get a lot of questions about them and I do a lot of comparisons to help people in making their decisions.
Why do they insist on putting the words Holy Bible on the front cover. Its leather do they think I will forget? Redundant just like putting NASB Instead of just NAS. You don't write NIVB. I will never buy a bible with that on the front. Ruins the leather.
