I just received mine, and the quality is excellent. I was concerned that the paper would feel too thin, the Quentel would seem too big to comfortably hold while reading, and the concordance text would be too small, but none of these are an issue. These really are beautiful bibles. Thanks for all your reviews Tim; I watched a lot before settling on this NLT Quentel!
I recently purchased this Bible in full yapp black pearl calfskin with blue ribbons and page edges. I'm reading it cover to cover, as I've never read this translation before. I purchased Tyndale's NLT study Bible at the same time. The cheaper Bible is so frustrating to handle compared to the supple Schuyler that I'm only using it for the little insert articles and occasionally the notes. I really prefer my Collegeville commentary to those noted. This NLT is fun to read! It's the same stories I've known for sixty years only from a fresh telling. Plus, for these aging eyes, the font used is much friendlier than so many others, including the Tyndale. I purchased this Bible after watching your review. As always, Evangelical Bible gave perfect customer service, too.
Absolutely love your videos Tim! My wife on the other hand, isn’t so excited about my progressing addiction to these beautiful premium bibles that you show on your channel. I’m grateful for your enthusiasm and it gets me more excited getting into the Word! Thank you!!
That's a lovely Bible, indeed. It's nice to see the NLT get the respect it deserves. I'd love to see Cambridge publish a Clarion in the NLT or better yet, a vbv Topaz in the NLT.
Can’t wait for my copy to arrive so I can dive in and read the NLT in this format. So far…my fav NLT Bible to read from is Schuyler’s single column Caxton. We are SO BLESSED to have this many choices to read God’s Word from.
For me, the 10-point font just looks so much better on the page than the 11-point font. I think it only becomes an issue if you do not have good eyesight. A 10-point font just fits the double-column layout better like in the ESV Omega, NASB95 LPUT, and CSB VbV and LPUT.
I agree with you completely. I have Schuyler’s NASB in the larger font and I don’t like it as much as the 10 point in the NLT. I have been buying Cambridge Bibles since I was a teenager in the 70s, and really thought they would always be my favorites. But now, owning five of these, Schuyler Bibles, They have turned into my daily readers. I don’t mark up my Bibles, and I do like the matching journals for the few notes that I take.
That NLT is an absolutely gorgeous text/layout/ bible size and also the cover.. the whole thing.. I agree, it's the best I've seen.. I'd love a PSQ NLT .. I too think that would top the regular Quentel
Yes Tim - I AGREE with you. This NLT Quentel might be the BEST Bible from Schuyler I’ve owned yet! The 10pt Milo text font along with the book and chapter numbers make this version a beautiful work of art. Not to mention the marbled mahogany calfskin full yapp cover - a readers delight.
Thanks for another great bible review, Tim! I just received a British Tan NLT Schuyler Quentel today, via FedEx, and it's more than impressive. I've been hoping for a premium NLT (with an 11+ font) for years. The closest, a now-retired single column Caxton, which was okay but I returned it due to font size/typeface. Honestly, I was bummed to read that Schuyler would limit the NLT font size to a 10 point, vs. the 11 point Milo (a first-gen NKJV Schuyler Quentel: Red letter; 36 GSM paper; 11 point Milo) which I currently own. The NLT takes the prize!!! It's lighter and easier to hold and read for longer periods of time. It's thinner. All the goodness you'd expect from Schuyler such as smell, touch, print and paper quality, binding, is included. Comparing my NKJV Quentel, I observe that the Schuyler NLT carries a slightly bolder font, which makes up for the 11 point size in the NKJV! The slightly darker font lends for improved reading more than I imagined. With this 10 point Milo font, the format/size allows for a slightly wider column, making this (not to mention it's an NLT translation) the best reading format to date! I'd give it an enthusiastic 5 out of 5; not feeling cheated by the 10 point!! :)
I've never read from a NLT bible, so my favourite Schuyler bibles are their British Tan ESV and Imperial Blue NKJV both in personal size, and the Firebrick Red KJV Treveris single column. Thank you for showing this beautiful black and red one today, Tim I really like the minimalist red drop caps a lot, too. 🙂
Just ordered the Purple! Looking forward to this one (as with all Schuyler Bibles) or course. I hope they come up with another single-column NLT in the future, however.
Hi, Tim! Love your channel! I just ordered the Schuyler Quentel NLT in black yesterday. I'm so pumped! And I wanted to thank you so much for your insight on it. You were the reason I pulled the trigger. I got it in the 9mm yapp. God bless ya, brother!
Great review! I'm going to be purchasing this Schuyler NLT. This will be my first Schuyler Bible. I'll be using this along with my Allen 53 Longprimer for my reading and studying the Holy Written Word of God. I have quite a few Premium Bible all KJV.
The NLT has been speaking to recently. All of my premium Bibles are in KJV as well..... So, TBD. This Schuyler Quentel looks incredible. Thank you for your time, Tim. God Bless You and Your Family! 🙏
Beautiful Bible Tim, appreciate the review and comparison. Anything from Schuyler is a hit in my book but my current favorite is the Firebrick Red ESV Quentel.
“11 size font is almost too big” LOL!!! Come talk to me when you’re 60 yrs old and older!! Would love this Bible with a 12-14 size font for my 69 yr old eyes!!! I keep hoping….!
Mercy Buckets!! You found a unicorn!! I was so caught up that I didn't notice if you even said red-letter or black-letter. Even with the smaller font, I think my old eyes will be happy. Thanks for doing the side-by-side with an 11 pt, because what I noticed is that the black ink looks dark enough that it seems easily readable. This looks like it has all my favorite stuff - AND - things I hadn't even considered: those design elements!! Oh, my toes are curling over the design of those drop-caps! Using the letter instead of the chapter number is so nice, and the chapter indicator makes me so, so happy ... and I'd never even thought of those!! I haven't cared much about fonts, but I've noticed that with the NRSVue and its blunt, blocky letters, I felt a little disappointed. It doesn't have a "premium" look to me. So it has just been sitting in its box. THIS Bible is not a sit-in-the-box Bible; THIS Bible is a take-me-dancing Bible! 😁 As I was getting more and more internally disheveled over the gorgeousness here, I had a jolt: Lori-Louise, that's the Bible you ordered for your birthday!! I HAVE ONE OF THESE COMING!!! I'm getting the marbled mahogany (the full yapp won out over the dark green color that I actually wanted), and when it comes we'll just SEE if I can manage to leave it in the box until December 20th. Heh. 😉 Tim, a candidate for prettiest Schuyler: I bought a Credo Thinline Quentel NASB in Imperial Blue 🐐 from someone on one of the pages so I would have the creeds and confessions, and I wanted to spend more time in the NASB, but that one just sits in the box, too, even though it's lovely, because the NASB just doesn't land the same in my reading. So it's not the design of that Bible; it's the translation. Thanks for your enthusiastic review! 💛🧡❤️
@@mattb2700 I would call it a light black. It isn’t as dark as the goatskin black they have, but it’s not grey really. Darker than a grey. It looks really good though and is very floppy. It’s very soft too.
@@joshbaker1639maybe I’ll hold off bc all my Bibles are black or close to black. I’d love to have a premium Schuyler NLT but the margin space doesn’t look big enough. I write in my Bibles. S
I called evangelical bibles yesterday to see if they were going to restock the black pearl esv anytime soon. They had told me not till next year and it will be changing to a smaller text font. I wonder if this is what we will be seeing in the ESV too!
I really love the look of that NLT. I'm neither a fanboy or detractor of that translation. But, I must say, that of all of the newer "reader friendly" translations out... the NLT is good enough to me that this Bible will be on my radar for sure (especially, as you mention, if a PSQ comes along!) Personal Note: My favorite Schuyler color would probably be the navy blue IF the guilt was blue under silver. (Every time I look at my NASB PSQ in navy I just think... "So close to being the prettiest Bible I've ever owned." LOL) Thanks for the video and another look at this beautiful Bible, my brother!
The blue under silver in the purple in this one is ❤. I really liked it when they did blue under silver in the firebrick red with the Canterbury years back.
Schuyler have been around for a while, and they've clearly been working on refining what they offer. I think you could be right about this NLT being the best so far. It looks fantastic. The features and refinements Schuyler have put into this NLT look so special. The way they've done the chapter numbers and drop caps looks amazing, so sharp. The 10pt size of the text is good. I'm not disappointed, but I hope they'll still make 11pt or larger for large print editions (while they have the people from 2K Denmark on hand, they might as well do both I think? 🤷♂). There are people who like larger text (like me 😁), or who even need it (like my parents). The 11pt in my Quentel ESV lets me lay the Bible flat on a desk or table, sit back, and read. Its great for reading in groups and writing. The ESV Quentel typesetting is great as it is now. Nothing NEEDS to be done to it. But it would be SO NICE to have chapter numbers and drop caps as in the Quentel RSV and now NLT.
Brother, hats off to you. I am a more literal guy but loved my NLT Caxton that I sold years ago so you sold me on this one. I got in in the Purple full Yapp though as I feel my wife will “inherit” aka steal it once I get a Canterbury in Tuscany.
I got a purple minimal yapp, I think I'd have liked it a little darker OR deeper color saturation. I'm really more a fan of electric blue or iridescent purples, I might have been happier with a merlot? The text block was almost perfect though, if they'd sell that in (not all or nothing pricing) calfsplit or buffalo they'd probably sell a million. I don't understand why they don't.
Every-time I see a Black goatskin Schuyler I just scream to make a silver line addition with the blue liner and ribbons. The red is nice but I much prefer the blue look. Wish Schuyler would do a couple runs and even charge a premium price
It is a beautiful Bible! No doubt almost anything Schuyler does is gorgeous. However, my favorite NLT is actually the NLT Filament Bible (original edition) since it's single-column and since I love the layout! It looks just like the Caxton or Select but without the cross references in the margins, and I actually prefer to have mostly clean margins! So I like the NLT Filament's layout better than the Caxton or the Select. It feels like it could double as a reader's Bible and a study Bible (with the Filament app)! It's not a premium Bible, but it really does offer a lot for an affordable Bible! I really like the NLT Filament.
I looked up the pricing of these and realized I’m in the wrong tax bracket to own something so nice. I’ll have to stick with my RC Sproul Reformation Study Bible…maybe get it rebound to spruce it up lol The premiums are lovely though!
I really strongly prefer the 11pt milo - pops right off the page. Splendid. After I had finally decided to go for the Quentel NIV Purple Goat it vanished from the eb site. :-(
This looks awesome! I am hoping to get my hands on the Green Quentel NLT for Christmas. I currently have a CSB QUentel and love it so much! Currently in between CSB and NLT as personal translation of choice! Any thoughts on which one you prefer and why??? Love the videos!! You're the reason I enjoy seeing Premium Bibles!
@@BrizzyMowhy knock a translation? A CSB is slightly above the NLT in thought for thought towards word for word. I prefer literal. I keep KJV handy for my literal reading.
My absolute favorite is the Caxton - I am a single column person! I have it in purple and it is one of the most beautiful bibles I have ever seen. Disappointed to hear it is no longer available. This looks nice too…but won’t replace my Caxton :-)
I’d love to buy the skuyler NLT but the dealbreaker for me is the fact that they’re aren’t red letter texts (Jesus words) for $200 I thought that would be included….
I received my NLT and RSV Quentels today. These are the first Schuylers I have ever owned, and I am very happy with them both. The nod goes to the NLT though.
I prefer a smaller font size. I find my Pitt minion a hair too small at times and find my clarion too large to read comfortably at times. I feel like the Goldilocks sometimes… 😂 we’re so spoiled with bibles these days
I hate to see the type size reduced from 11-pt to 10-pt, but that thinner Quentel is beautiful. The NLT isn't my favorite translation but choices are good. I'll stick with my NKJV (Imperial Blue) and NASB95 (Firebrick not-really-Red) Quentels!
I cannot even imagine the cost of this new Bible after hearing your lovefest with it. So rather than the words, your first criteria is " the best of the best." It's almost unbelievable, just to listen to this swooning.
Boy how beautiful, thank you for this wonderful review 😊! I'm just not sure if I would like a full yapp or not. I know I definitely prefer the look of the full yapp, just don't how it would feel. Would it make it feel larger when holding in the hand or not?
@ 10:26 you made mention that Schuyler was going to set 10 Pt. Milo as their standard font and size going forward. For me with my mediocre eyesight, one of the reasons I selected the Quentel over other bibles was the 11 Pt. typeface. I know you mentioned that the existing bibles would continue to have an 11 Pt. typeface, but for me, this was one of the reasons I selected the Schuyler over, say, the Allan.
I’m waiting for the purple Schuyler regalis ESV to come out in July . In the meantime I don’t have a bible just Bible apps I did see the NLT. By Schuyler in the same color and calfskin as well . I am not familiar with the NLT translation . Should I get the NLT and get the ESV layer later on when it’s ready for preorder ? I just want a comfortable translation .
How does the "thinness" compare to say, the ESV Omega? Just thinking that the font size seems similar and the Omega definitely feels more "thinline" than the Quentel.
I'm not sure why they went with having the notes on both the outside of the page vs what Crossway did, which seems more logical and intuitive; having notes on the right side of the bottom corner?
From what I am seeing the Quentel NLT Bibles are in short supply and hard to find now. I only see 1 goatskin (not FY) and a couple calfskin Bibles (one is out of stock) options on EvangelicalBible... sad since I was looking for a Schuyler NLT hopefully in FY Goatskin (standard and not personal size). I have an NASB but just love the NLT translation. Hope they plan on producing more of these!
@@timwildsmith Reached out to them and here is what they told me.... We are expecting new Schuyler Quentel NLT stock in August and plan to open preorders sometime next month. Full Yapp options will be: Black Dark Green Black Pearl Desert Camel Tuscany
I wonder what a 9-point would look like. I’m also glad they did three-line drop caps instead of the four in the RSV (which seem huge on pages with lots of chapter breaks). ✌️🤓
Hey Tim, I'm still getting to know the NLT. Is there any good objective resource about the NLT and the work done for the translation. I guess I'm trying to figure out if this a true translation of the Bible or is it just a paraphrase, and how to tell the difference? Thank you 😊
I've just ordered this Bible, but previous to it, the greatest Schuyler that I've held is the NKJV Credo in black goatskin, no yapp. Add the creeds to this Bible and it might supplant the Credo. Until then, it will have to remain in second place.
Does this pebbly cover feel like the Cambridge goatskin leather? I don't like those (I have Diadem and Topaz). Or is it much more smooth like Treveris?
It looks very thin. Nearly a Thinline. Did Schuyler start using thinner paper than 28 GSM? Is the font size smaller? I look forward to hearing your perspective Tim.
@@timwildsmith they typically use 11 point fonts. So using 10 point would cut down the amount of pages needed. That explains the thinness of it. Well here is another Schuyler I will have to get. Don’t have a NLT Bible at all. My wife does. Maybe that will be enough to convince her.
@@timwildsmith well I ordered one in British Tan. I think I will make it a reading Bible. From what I’ve heard the NLT translation is a great one just to read.
what's the thickness difference in the Bible with the 11 point type and 10? Specifically, I have a CSB Quentel with 11 pt, I'm interested in the NLT, doubting it's noticeable thinner, but hoping. my absolutely favorite to date, was my first high end bible. ESV, from Crossway Bibles, Classic Thinline published in with the 2007 ESV text edition. it was a gift to me in 2010. it has 6 bands in the spine, similar to the Schuyler...on later editions crossway changed their paper and newer versions has four bands in spine. it's a very noticeable feel.
I have been Looking for a NLT Bible 11 or 13 font that is nice and Slim. The other NLT Bible with the fonts are around 1900 pages long. Would love one with around 1300 pages. Not to thick. Can someone link me where I can buy this
I just received mine, and the quality is excellent. I was concerned that the paper would feel too thin, the Quentel would seem too big to comfortably hold while reading, and the concordance text would be too small, but none of these are an issue. These really are beautiful bibles. Thanks for all your reviews Tim; I watched a lot before settling on this NLT Quentel!

Since you asked.
The 1995 NASB in Black Pearl Goatskin has to be the best Schuyler I’ve come across.

So I like the NLT Filament's layout better than the Caxton or the Select. It feels like it could double as a reader's Bible and a study Bible (with the Filament app)! It's not a premium Bible, but it really does offer a lot for an affordable Bible! I really like the NLT Filament.
Thanx! Very useful to see now when also the ESV is coming in the new same font.
Would have loved a full yapp British Tan on this one. The change to red accents on that color is a great move IMO.
I looked up the pricing of these and realized I’m in the wrong tax bracket to own something so nice. I’ll have to stick with my RC Sproul Reformation Study Bible…maybe get it rebound to spruce it up lol
The premiums are lovely though!
Beautiful Bible, but as you pointed out, I’m slightly bummed with smaller font. Thanks for the review!
You're welcome!
I only have one Schuyler... An ESV QUENTEL IN FIREBRICK RED GOATSKIN .. So that is my favorite ❤️
I really strongly prefer the 11pt milo - pops right off the page. Splendid. After I had finally decided to go for the Quentel NIV Purple Goat it vanished from the eb site. :-(
I think both the RSV and NLT look awesome!!
My favorite Schuyler, oddly enough, was also the cheapest: the cowhide over board Canterbury with 36 gsm paper. (I hear they may reissue it?)
They're working on a new version... that's one of my favs too!
Mine's on the way, Tim!
Nice!!
You liking it?
That’s a beautiful Bible!
This looks awesome! I am hoping to get my hands on the Green Quentel NLT for Christmas. I currently have a CSB QUentel and love it so much! Currently in between CSB and NLT as personal translation of choice! Any thoughts on which one you prefer and why??? Love the videos!! You're the reason I enjoy seeing Premium Bibles!
Thanks for the kind words! I read regularly from both CSB and NLT.
CSB is an excellent translation. NLT is a poor choice.
@@BrizzyMoplease 🙄
@@BrizzyMowhy knock a translation? A CSB is slightly above the NLT in thought for thought towards word for word.
I prefer literal. I keep KJV handy for my literal reading.
Schuyler yes, esp Wide Margin (Just not the NLT, Sorry) Prefer the NASB 95 Wide Margin with the 40gsm paper. Truly phenomenal.
I agree a personal size full. Yeah Quintel NLT would be great.
My absolute favorite is the Caxton - I am a single column person! I have it in purple and it is one of the most beautiful bibles I have ever seen. Disappointed to hear it is no longer available. This looks nice too…but won’t replace my Caxton :-)
They Caxton is a classic.
Do a giveaway for one of these lol. I just started reading NLT and been reading NKJV for 20+ years. I need a tyndale select or one of these
I’d love to buy the skuyler NLT but the dealbreaker for me is the fact that they’re aren’t red letter texts (Jesus words) for $200 I thought that would be included….
Can't wait to get my merlot calfskin. It's supposed to be here later this month.
I received my NLT and RSV Quentels today. These are the first Schuylers I have ever owned, and I am very happy with them both. The nod goes to the NLT though.
Still loving it?
The original 2015 green ESV quentel with 38 gsm paper is still my favourite.
I prefer a smaller font size. I find my Pitt minion a hair too small at times and find my clarion too large to read comfortably at times.
I feel like the Goldilocks sometimes… 😂 we’re so spoiled with bibles these days
I hate to see the type size reduced from 11-pt to 10-pt, but that thinner Quentel is beautiful. The NLT isn't my favorite translation but choices are good. I'll stick with my NKJV (Imperial Blue) and NASB95 (Firebrick not-really-Red) Quentels!
I cannot even imagine the cost of this new Bible after hearing your lovefest with it. So rather than the words, your first criteria is " the best of the best." It's almost unbelievable, just to listen to this swooning.
Boy how beautiful, thank you for this wonderful review 😊! I'm just not sure if I would like a full yapp or not. I know I definitely prefer the look of the full yapp, just don't how it would feel. Would it make it feel larger when holding in the hand or not?
Just a touch larger.
Beautifully designed bible!
Beautiful.
@ 10:26 you made mention that Schuyler was going to set 10 Pt. Milo as their standard font and size going forward. For me with my mediocre eyesight, one of the reasons I selected the Quentel over other bibles was the 11 Pt. typeface. I know you mentioned that the existing bibles would continue to have an 11 Pt. typeface, but for me, this was one of the reasons I selected the Schuyler over, say, the Allan.
If this one is your favorite, could u have your green NLT Caxton? 😅🥺
Tim I think they should do an ESV PSS(personal size Stridon), I’m with you.
I like that idea!
Tim, I’m curious as to how the ESV seemed to have slightly wider margins even though the font was larger???
I’m waiting for the purple Schuyler regalis ESV to come out in July . In the meantime I don’t have a bible just Bible apps I did see the NLT. By Schuyler in the same color and calfskin as well . I am not familiar with the NLT translation . Should I get the NLT and get the ESV layer later on when it’s ready for preorder ? I just want a comfortable translation .
How does the "thinness" compare to say, the ESV Omega? Just thinking that the font size seems similar and the Omega definitely feels more "thinline" than the Quentel.
Yes, the Omega is a tad bit thinner... but I like the typesetting more.
I'm not sure why they went with having the notes on both the outside of the page vs what Crossway did, which seems more logical and intuitive; having notes on the right side of the bottom corner?
This NLT has the best accents and details so far. So WHEN is the Schuyler midsize dropping? A Diadem size would sell by the truckload.
Oh my... I would LOVE that!!!!
I like the heftier feel of the 36 GSM paper but I like this typesetting more than the traditional Quentel like the ESV or NIV
Thanks for sharing!
From what I am seeing the Quentel NLT Bibles are in short supply and hard to find now. I only see 1 goatskin (not FY) and a couple calfskin Bibles (one is out of stock) options on EvangelicalBible... sad since I was looking for a Schuyler NLT hopefully in FY Goatskin (standard and not personal size). I have an NASB but just love the NLT translation. Hope they plan on producing more of these!
They sold quick... I'm sure more will be coming.
@@timwildsmith Reached out to them and here is what they told me.... We are expecting new Schuyler Quentel NLT stock in August and plan to open preorders sometime next month. Full Yapp options will be:
Black
Dark Green
Black Pearl
Desert Camel
Tuscany
I wonder what a 9-point would look like. I’m also glad they did three-line drop caps instead of the four in the RSV (which seem huge on pages with lots of chapter breaks). ✌️🤓
I would love a midsize with 9ish type!
That's the size bible everyone is waiting for. !!!
Hey Tim, I'm still getting to know the NLT. Is there any good objective resource about the NLT and the work done for the translation. I guess I'm trying to figure out if this a true translation of the Bible or is it just a paraphrase, and how to tell the difference? Thank you 😊
You can look around and mind some people reviewing it. I think it's a fine translation.
I've just ordered this Bible, but previous to it, the greatest Schuyler that I've held is the NKJV Credo in black goatskin, no yapp. Add the creeds to this Bible and it might supplant the Credo. Until then, it will have to remain in second place.
Just found your blog and channel. I’ve purchased 3 new Schuyler Bibles just this month. Send help 😂
Hahaha… whoops!
How is the bleed thru. It looks really bad on the video?
How to order or purchase this Bible
Does this pebbly cover feel like the Cambridge goatskin leather? I don't like those (I have Diadem and Topaz). Or is it much more smooth like Treveris?
Goatskin is more pebbly than calfskin in my experience.
Does anyone have one of these that they aren’t using and want to sell?
Is it just me or does the milo font here look a bit lighter than the RSV Quentel?
It looks very thin. Nearly a Thinline. Did Schuyler start using thinner paper than 28 GSM? Is the font size smaller?
I look forward to hearing your perspective Tim.
10pt Milo. 28 GSM paper.
@@timwildsmith they typically use 11 point fonts. So using 10 point would cut down the amount of pages needed. That explains the thinness of it. Well here is another Schuyler I will have to get. Don’t have a NLT Bible at all. My wife does. Maybe that will be enough to convince her.
It's a GREAT Bible.
@@timwildsmith well I ordered one in British Tan. I think I will make it a reading Bible. From what I’ve heard the NLT translation is a great one just to read.
@@markeggers3416did you get one?
Hey Tim! I am looking for an NLT thats high quality and has real leather and thick paper…do you have any recommendations ??
Tyndale has some genuine leather edition, but this is the only truly premium NLT in print today.
what's the thickness difference in the Bible with the 11 point type and 10?
Specifically, I have a CSB Quentel with 11 pt, I'm interested in the NLT, doubting it's noticeable thinner, but hoping.
my absolutely favorite to date, was my first high end bible. ESV, from Crossway Bibles, Classic Thinline published in with the 2007 ESV text edition. it was a gift to me in 2010. it has 6 bands in the spine, similar to the Schuyler...on later editions crossway changed their paper and newer versions has four bands in spine. it's a very noticeable feel.
Difference in thickness is less than 0.25" from the CSB.
Do you think they will come out with a NLT PSQ soon?
Silly question but I’m a watch guy, what are you wearing on your wrist
U prefer the NLT or the ESV and why? A school that I might work at uses the ESV.
I like both... very different but nice to read in tandem.
THESE BIBLES ARE SO EXPENSIVE, CAN YOU SHOW BIBLES THAT ARE MORE AFFORDABLE
PLEASE.
I try to do a balance of premium and more affordable Bibles... but there's just a lot of new premiums right now.
I really wish they would do all of them in 10 pt
It's a good look.
Schuyler PSQ NASB ❤
What do you use to mark in a Schuyler bible?
I have been Looking for a NLT Bible 11 or 13 font that is nice and Slim. The other NLT Bible with the fonts are around 1900 pages long. Would love one with around 1300 pages. Not to thick.
Can someone link me where I can buy this
The bigger the font... the more pages you get.
Do they make these with wide margins? Gotta have room to write in the Bible to take my notes down
Not yet!
The quentel seems to be the best from schyler
Bible looks fantastic! But before anything else, let's talk about the translation. What are your thoughts about the NLT?
I love it! A great modern translation that's very readable.
@@timwildsmith would it be an optimal translation philosophy?
@@chris12780 Not for me... but it might be for some people. I encourage people to read from translations on multiple locations of the spectrum.
@@timwildsmith I get your point. Thanks for pointing that out.
I wish they would make a premium vegan Bible.
Why is it called Quentel????
The Quentel is named after William Tyndale’s first printer.
@@timwildsmith Oh didn’t know that 😮 👍 thank you !
For me, nothing makes the list if it's not single column, paragraph format, lots of gutter room. Oh, and green :)
For it to be their best, NLT would have to be a good translation.
That’s an awful statement. It has its place to be honest
Words of Christ Not in Red...... deal breaker for me.
There’s lots of great red letter bibles out there.
It is, if you want one of the top ten worst translations ever created.
Not a a fan of the NLT. Unsure why other ppl are.
