12:24 I absolutely love this! I am a newly converted Christian, having went all in back in April 2022. This would have been a lovely set to have to get my grasp on the themes and tone of the Bible. The nature and writ of the Bible was very overwhelming, and almost off putting in a way. It was a lot to ingest and take in, and the format of it didn’t really help much either. But this set is absolutely lovely. I REALLY want to get my hands on a set of these! also that wood case is stellar, no cap, looks like a billion bucks
I love this! I was one of the Kickstarter contributors as well. My set has a card that identifies it as part of the first printing run (although I have no idea how many there were). Thanks for a great review!
Thanks for the review Tim. I've paid for the next release in 2023 and can't wait to dig in. As a primer, I recently picked up the 4 gospels in the readers version, and just as i thought, i enjoy reading these more that the standard bible. Great idea that's come to life.
I like how it is the Hebrew Bible order. Is the ASV in the regular English canonical order? I’m reading the Bible in the TaNaKh order right now and I’m enjoying it.
This reminds me of the 6 book ESV set by Crossway in the walnut slipcase. Very beautiful. I'm really curious about the Bibliotheca since I've never read that translation and heard it's got the apocrypha also.
I like reading the Knox version of the Bible. It has one voice and is a translation by a man who was also an authour. The thoughtfulness to how it reads. I'd like to read this.
I was one of those original Kickstarter backers of Bibliotheca back in 2014. I remember so many people were frustrated at how long it took Adam to fulfill the thousands of sets that were ordered. In the end he delivered an amazing set and it has revolutionized my reading of Scripture!
I don't want to sound like "that guy," because these are clearly beautiful renditions of the Holy Bible, but as a Tridentine Roman Christian, I have seen others in my group talk about how good of a Bible it appears to be, but refuse to get it, given the word "apocryphal" makes it seem as if the books we believe are in the Canon are not legitimate, and also includes books that aren't even in the Deutrocanon, such as the Prayer of Manasses, or III and IV Maccabees. 🙏From your brother in Christ.
I finally broke down and preordered the next run due to your review. Honestly sounds like a cool version to have, plus it looks stunning. I love paragraph editions especially the Gospels (I find them to work better for lectio divina). Thanks for highlighting premium versions of the Bible with the apocrypha. Coming from the Anglican Communion this is what I collect and read.
Love the idea & the presentation but I need to look into this new translation a bit more since I mainly read & study the kjv using other translations for comparison.
I have a readers version in CSB. It's really a pleasant way to read through scripture in large chunks without the distractions of anything but book and maybe chapter markers and nothing else.
Went to this from the 12 days of Christmas video 😆. This is certainly interesting! So thankful I know now that reading the Bible is so exciting! Nerd mode on! 🤓
I’m very interested in buying this since the ESV Reader’s Set is no longer available but I’m not sure if I can trust the translation? It’s obviously not a widely used translation and I am always cautious in these situations.
I agree Tim about the NASB,but since the ESV CAME OUT ITS MY TOP BIBLE along with the kjv,I love the style of the Canterbury.I have the Esv and Canterbury by styler in the Goatskin and both have calfskin inlay,keep up the nice work of the BIBLES you show I started watching Mark Bjorklund with his fist review that started it all I'm glad You and others Cary on torch God Bless
I remember seeing this on Kickstarter but I passed on it because of the updated ASV translation. I wasn’t familiar with that translation and most updates are for the wrong reasons.
@@kathleenking47 Chapters and verses did not exist in the original texts. Also, the books of the Hebrew Bible were originally stored on separate scrolls, so the idea of a multi-volume set isn't so unusual.
The ASV is one of my oldest friends! It helped me finally break up with the KJV and opened me up to all of the other amazing translations out there! This is definitely one I want to get.
@@JC-ck4wk I prefer the Critical Text and I am not an Onlyist for any translation. The KJV is okay because it is still in my library and I memorized much of it growing up. However, I prefer more up to date Greek andHebrew texts.
Might as well make a walnut front cover in a similar style that slides backwards over the box. Especially if one of the sales points is a bible for posterity. That way the books aren’t sun damaged. They could also do custom engraving. Make it the $200 walnut option
This is so beautiful. I have never h heard of this Bible before. I’ve had such a playing in me for the last few years to read my Bible more and study but I honestly I’ve been having a really hard time understanding it. I think this is a perfect step for me I would help me understand more when I have to put this when I’m definitely on my Christmas list this year thank you for sharing.
It’s exciting to see how these new versions of the Bible are being published both in Protestant and Catholic circles (like the Word on Fire Bible). Thank you so much Tim for your amazing reviews.
I was one of the Kickstarter contributors. It's an absolutely beautiful set. I'm not crazy about the translation though. If it had been done with the KJV, my search for the "perfect" bible might have ended.
I love the idea of a translation mining the ASV for the beautiful, more classical language. I'd like to vet it a lot more before purchasing. I don't particularly like how the type layout isn't justified and it seems to be set too far inside the page.
@justanotherrandomfilipino9018 Byzantine Catholics are in communion with Rome and have similar liturgies to the eastern orthodox. Byzantine Catholics still believe in the exact same things that all other rites do, and just have a different look and feel in its liturgy. The orthodox however left the Catholic church and are no longer in communion in Rome. They don't believe I. The Filioque or Papal supremacy. There's other things that are different such as the Catholics using the Greogorian calendar rather than the Julian calendar that we used to use, but the orthodox still use it.
@@mariorpg4276 Then OP shouldn't be call himself Eastern Roman Catholic insted? Because Byzantine was actually a made up term create in XVI by a biase historian of the time and that those in the eastern part of the empire still call themself as Romans, just in the eastern part, making them; The Eastern Roman Empire.
Hello! This Bible contains the Deuterocanon as accepted by the Eastern Orthodox, as well as IV Maccabees and II Esdras. This is about as good as it gets for us Orthodox/Eastern Catholics!
"They even got Biblical language experts in". I would have thought that would be where they would have started, rather than a nice afterthought. Not having chapter or verse references would also seem to make it rather impractical. And anyway, Isn't there something a little decadent about turning Bibles into luxury consumer goods?
I'm confident that working with the experts was much more than an afterthought... and the removal of verse numbers, for me, makes for a really nice reading experience (and much more like it would have been written originally). I understand the critique of luxury... but I would argue that this is going for something much more meaningful than just being high quality.
Don't knock it till you try it. The current versification of the Bible is only a few centuries old, and the cross references much more recent. We may not think we pay attention to the "interruptions" of cross references, textual notes and verses, but we do. Reading the Bible through without these graphic interruptions is a very different experience and a whole new way to digest God's Word. Don't throw out your study Bible, but I really recommend getting a reader's Bible like this. There are now hardcover versions of the ESV Reader's Bible for $25-35.
What was the thought behind including the apocrypha? Obviously it’s not part of the Bible and that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it, but there doesn’t seem to be any mention that it’s included and that the set is referred to as the Bible all together.
15:24 He mentions that they updated the punctuation. That's a big problem. It can totally change how a verse is interpreted. Example: Surely I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise. ... Surely I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.
Among all the BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL bibles we've seen on this channel and over the course of the Christmas giveaway, this now is a well earned break from all the greatness and grandeur we've seen. I've been so excited over the last couple of weeks that now I am really happy to see a bible that doesn't appeal to me AT ALL. I mean - I dislike how the texts sit on the page, I am bored to death by the typeface, can't feel anything about this edition at all - and I am happy about that, for after all, we need things we don't like to be able to appreciate what we like even more. With this, Bibliotheca fulfills a purpose for me, too, though I'd probably very much prefer the cheapest edition from the scrap table.
Oh dear. This is a very well constructed set of books at a reasonable price, but I think they made a big mistake by not centering the text on the page. It really bothers my aesthetic sense. It just looks too crammed toward the gutter of the book. Was that a deliberate decision I wonder?
@@Theo-HeHim Maybe, but the point is that there's much less space on the gutter edge than on the opposite edge, which makes it look totally off balance. I suppose though that once the outside margin is chock full of notes, it wouldn't look so off balance any more! 🙂
@@-johnny-deep- yes! I believe they were going for the single column look. I agree it would’ve looked a little better if the books were wider when open, and the text weren’t so far in the center, but it may be a printing issue? I’m not very educated in this stuff, so it’s just my guess 😂
@@Theo-HeHim Looking again, the page layout doesn't bother me so much, especially when compared to a truly humongous outside margin that *IS* explicitly meant to hold copious notes! See Tim's just posted review of the Tyndale Wide Margin Bible, Filament-Enabled.
Aren't there any chapters? I get that the standard chapters aren't "novel-like", but novels still have chapters. I'd hope there would be divisions larger than chapters but smaller than books
Tim, I’ve been considering a reader like this. Have you ever done a review comparing the Crossway clothbound reader’s set to this? I’d be very interested in your thoughts on the differences between them!
What does this look like alongside the ESV legacy? It seems that both are based the the 'renaissance ideal of a perfect page' (if the quotation serves me correctly). Does that seem accurate to you?
You said you'd talk about what's next for them but what is next for them? The translation they did in other options? Different translations in this binding? Individual gospels or psalms? I love this set but I'd love to see the idea and concept grow.
@@timwildsmith Ah, I'm on the email list so I thought that was already out there. Was hoping Bible Review Blog had an inside scoop on something else. Hopefully they find ways to expand what is beautiful project.
I was wondering how they rendered the _Divine Name,_ and I guess *YHWH* is one of the best. As I recall, the 1901 ASV used _"Jehovah",_ which is a bit inaccurate. I know that a recent translation uses *_"Yahweh",_* which is actually what I prefer. As classy as this boxed set is, I would love to see this translation in a more affordable format. I will check the website. Maybe they have produced it by now. You know, I love the wide margins, but I'd almost hesitate to *WRITE* in them in such a _"collectible"_ item!
I hate to be the fly in the ointment, Tim, but I don't like this at all. ASV is fine. But the expense! Also, without the chapters and verses, it reminds me of The Message before they added the chapters and verses. If they made this into a "regular" bible, and put it into one volume, I would be much more favorable to it. Now having said that, I really do appreciate your channel. Keep up the good work!
Agreed. I’ll be very honest, if I got this given to me, I’d probably sell it as it’s only going to sit on the shelf never to be used. Like a copy of The Message I bought at a thrift store (an impulse buy, I had to take a look, you understand lol).
Do they ever sell the books individually? I can see they have the NT, but none of the others. Buying them one at a time over years is probably my only option for affording them. Thanks, Tim!
Tim, are you going to do a video on new bibles that will be coming out in 2023? I think Allan will/may be doing an NIV Proclamation Bible in 2023. Love to see if you can confirm and what new bibles other publishers will be doing. Maybe you’ve already done this and I missed it. God bless!
So the pre order is the same as this? Meaning, is it the same word for word, nothing new? Just trying to decide between pre-ordering or getting it now. 🤔

I have a full review of both, but I have never done a direct comparison.
Look beautifulll, cant wait for the review
Looks so nice ! I'm gonna save for it
Good call!
Hello Pastor Tim and hello everyone
Beautiful! 🤩
How would you compare this to the ESV readers volumes? Besides the different translations of course.
Great quality on both and similar in many ways, but I think the Bibliotheca set has a bit more of a bespoke look and feel to it.
What does this look like alongside the ESV legacy? It seems that both are based the the 'renaissance ideal of a perfect page' (if the quotation serves me correctly). Does that seem accurate to you?
Similar... I think Adam did some design for Crossway at one point. 😉
Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Torn on this one... I own it but am concerned to use it because of the cloth covers getting dirty. It sits on my shelf unused.
Thank you for the review!

I hate to be the fly in the ointment, Tim, but I don't like this at all. ASV is fine. But the expense! Also, without the chapters and verses, it reminds me of The Message before they added the chapters and verses.
If they made this into a "regular" bible, and put it into one volume, I would be much more favorable to it.
Now having said that, I really do appreciate your channel. Keep up the good work!
Agreed.
I’ll be very honest, if I got this given to me, I’d probably sell it as it’s only going to sit on the shelf never to be used.
Like a copy of The Message I bought at a thrift store (an impulse buy, I had to take a look, you understand lol).
@@spykezspykez7001 Yep, definitely a shelf sitter, but most likely a giveaway.
Beautiful box set VERY outta my price league though especially being Canadian. Wish you could win this one!
How is the new version of Bibliotheca from the first version?
They are not making any noticeable changes.
Can you imagine a one-volume edition!? 🤩
I'd love to see that!
Massive Scroll!
Yes, I would like to obtain this series of books on the bible for Christmas 2023. Season Greetings, chris christopher
Do they ever sell the books individually? I can see they have the NT, but none of the others. Buying them one at a time over years is probably my only option for affording them. Thanks, Tim!
Check their store... they might!
Tim, are you going to do a video on new bibles that will be coming out in 2023? I think Allan will/may be doing an NIV Proclamation Bible in 2023. Love to see if you can confirm and what new bibles other publishers will be doing. Maybe you’ve already done this and I missed it. God bless!
Working on it now… unfortunately Allan does not return my emails. 🤷🏼♂️
What a great set. Thank you
You bet!
Is there an online readable version?
Nope.
So the pre order is the same as this? Meaning, is it the same word for word, nothing new? Just trying to decide between pre-ordering or getting it now. 🤔
The new run is going to be essentially identical to this one.
Love the ambre colors
That looks awesome!
