1560 Geneva Bible Regular Facsimile Edition
Would you happen to know how many references this bible has? I don't see that information on their website.
I don't know the exact number, but I estimate it to be between 40,000-44,000 (and I think it's closer to 44k). I got this number when comparing the cambridge Clarion, which has 45k, but the Turquoise has fewer per verse. It also has more than another edition that had 35k.
I like most of the changes on the new Quentel. As someone who actually uses cross references frequently, the complete removal of the in text superscript markers is a deal breaker for me. They not only inform the reader that there is a cross reference, but they identify which specific part of the text has a reference. Colossians 1:16 for example has 4 different superscript letters referring to 4 different parts of the text. If you want to find cross references for only 1 part, you have no idea which references to look up. Without the superscript indicators I feel the bottom cross references are just a waste of space that could have been used to make the Bible thinner or make 36 gsm paper possible. The small verse numbers are also a deal breaker for preaching.
Excellent point. It's best to have the reference keys if you use them a lot.
If you just wanted to read, you wouldn't need the study notes. There's a few chronological bibles out there that wouldn't have busy pages, just scripture.
A vote for the Cambridge Cameo
Is this an good study bible
It is, but keep in mind that it's the teachings of one person instead of a deverse group.
The RSV Sovereign Collection will come out in August 2024. I will get one.
Nice! Thanks for the info!
As I watched this message, the sinking feeling came over me when I remembered the believers in the reformation went to a place where the bible was chained to the church building to prevent it from being stolen. And people had to wait to read it if they could read at all. Others came and listened to it being read.... with bibles so readily available today it's not so precious..... yet we are heading towards apostasy.
Anyone have input as to what types of writing instruments will work without mess or bleed through? It’s such as fine tip sharpie or colored felt? How about colored conventional ink pens?
Pigma Microns are excellent. I don't recommend felt because it can bleed through the paper. Anything from GT Luscombe is good. They're designed specifically for Bible paper.
Hi, Does it have "The Order of Time" page and what page is it? Thank you 🙏
I usually don't watch reviews for Schuyler Bibles because I know they are out of my price range. But, it's been a while since I watched any of your reviews, Randy. So I thought I would stop by and say hello! :)
Hi!! Thanks for stopping by!
The Zondervan looks nice and interesting. I might consider getting one if the make a NASB 2020 edition. I agree though about the Lockman NASB 2020 Wide Margin Reference, it is the better typesetting. I have one and its great. I love using it.
I prefer the double column layout, but I prefer the paper in the lockman...sepia, not bright white
Love the cat photobomb😂❤
Thanks! I cut most of it, but I couldn't not leave her in the video.
The NASB 2020 from Lockman for the win you can't beat that layout nice review Randy thank you sir
Hi Randy , may I clarify what I believe is "line matched" ? Line matched is when the beginning and ending of the verses on each side of the column of text is ruler straight , and all the verse numbers are along the left side but slightly indented , with the new chapter being in LARGE, bold numbers at the top left corner , flush with the beginning of the verses . It"s probably what I love most about Thomas Nelson bibles , because the text is SO aesthetically pleasing ! ❤
Hi Richard. Line-matched prints the lines of text in the same location on both sides of the page. This reduces the effect of the lines showing through to the other side and makes it easier to read. Lines that are not matched can have the lines showing through between the lines of text, which is ugly and distracting if the paper isn't opaque enough.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Thanks, I just learned something ! Bless you brother
I prefer the Lockman. Zondervan/Thomas Nelson text columns are too narrow for me.
Font looks small. How did it feel for you to preach from it?
I found the text excellent for preaching, but I'm used to 10-point. The dark print and the whites pace make the text easy to preach from. The verse numbers are hard to see at a glance, though.
Is too much consolidation among Bible publishers a bad thing? It seems like zondervan had bought out several other publishers. Does this put the bible in danger of zondervan ceases to exist?
Zondervan is nly one of many publishers. If all of them ceased to exist, it just opens the door for more publishers.
I love the Lockman with the 95000 references. Thanks Randy
I want one, but I'm afraid of the KJV. I'm slightly autistic and have trouble reading anyway, but I want to give it to God. I want to trust Him that I can read it, and I absolutely love this Bible. Every time I open my phone, I think about it, so I feel like God is calling me to it for some reason.
I like the new one more
Thanks Randy, I bought this one because I wanted to replace my old NKJV thinline with a text only KJV that has the same footprint , and it does! I LOVE the black Genuine leather, with the Red page edges . The print size is also the same as my old one but darker in both the black and the red . And your review confirms that I made great choice !
At 1:14. The Cambridge Paragraph Bibles are bound in nice leather and use high quality paper. However the price is a shocker, with some Bibles coming in at over $200.
hey Randy, in your opinion, why do you think that the KJV Canterbury is the highest rated bible on Evangelical Bible?
Excellent question. I'm only guessing, but it could have something to do with their marketing. Schuyler is their brand, so the Canterbury is the KJV they would promote the most on Facebook and in their newsletters, and ask for reviews the most.
I really would like to find a compact or thinline buffalo or goat leather, go everywhere with me sized, large print (10-11), NIV, CSB, ESV or even NLT, preferably with references. It's like a unicorn for me lol
Are there tutorials on searching within the app? I want to search references for “Gods love for us”. I have a number of commentaries, bibles, etc but have never mastered the art of searching nor saving what I have found. Just wondering. I like and use your app often. Thankyou for your 25 yrs with more years ahead of you. Blessings.
@laridianinc Craig, could you provide some insights on this?
I am not okay paying good money for a flashy cover wrapping a none line matched text block. Why NIV publishers don't work out an agreement is beyond me?
Does every 1611 KJV comes with all that stuff in the beginning before The Book of Moses? I have a KJV Bible, in fact it was my first Bible, but it doesn't have any of that. Very cool.
Only those that are meant to be an exact replica have them. Some smaller editions only include the text.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Thank you for the quick reply. I will have to look for a version like this, though not as massive haha.
@@Ma77hewChristian the smaller one that I compared in this video also has it. The content is the same between them.
@@BibleBuyingGuide Oh nice. Thank you. I guess I missed that while being amazed by the giant Bible haha.
Randy , great review, beautiful bible. I really appreciate your reviews, just picked up the KJV large print Thompson chain and I found a Bible cover for it. Thank you, great review, a Bible for professionals only.
Thanks Prentiss!!
I won't buy a new schuyler. the 11 point with no drop caps is easier to read and a much cleaner text. i think in the long term sales will go down because most people who buy an expensive bible are older (40+) and want a large font.
I actually find this darker font easier to read than a larger but lighter font.
@@BibleBuyingGuide I had a schuyler RSV with the 10 point text and had to sell it as I found the font hard to read and a strain on my eyes. I am in my mid 30s. I have no problem reading the 11 point schuyler for long periods of time.God bless
@@user-do1hd7rd7y the RSV has the same font as this one, so unfortunately, you would have trouble with this one as well.
Honestly I have mostly switched to either my Large Print Windsor Bible, or electronic Bibles on my tablet. With electronic Bibles I can turn off or on the helps as necessary and make the letters as big as I want.
@@RoastBeefSandwich I love the Logos app for this. I turn off chapter numbers, verse numbers, references, footnotes, and section headings so I can read just the text.
Believers are so funny. It's not like the size is going to make it more believable.
Do you like the chestnut or dessert camel more?one
Yeah, I have a Black Pearl NKJV and it is by far my fave cover. It doesn’t have a full yapp, and I was wondering if I wanted to trade for one, but after seeing that this is not just full yapp but *overlapping*, I now hesitate. I wonder if that’s an artifact of this updated page layout causing the text block to be thinner. Is it, indeed thinner? If so, they may need to adjust their cover dimensions slightly next run. Anyway, thanks, looking forward to your upcoming comparison (don’t forget to check the text blocks’ thicknesses). 👍🏼
Bullinger’s KJV Companion Bible with 198 appendixes is the best study Bible hands down. Not a fancy binding BUT for deep bible study it’s a must.
I love my Personal Size Canterbury in Black Pearl Calfskin! It was given to me about a year ago.
I love my Personal Size Canterbury.
The PSC is an amazing Bible.
Nice. But I like more the old Bibles. ....the thick paper, and the more rustic feel and look to it, and the wonderful smell. Wish they still made some of that.
Allan bibles still makes them
can you compare old and new style text next to each other? Curious how much that 11pt to 10pt matters
I will. That one is coming soon.
Pastor Randy, thank you for the review. I appreciate the time and emphasis you put on the text itself as opposed to the external features. Blessings to you, sir.
Thank you!!
Removing the cross reference callers from the text itself is such a great decision!
I agree!
Beautiful Bible and very detailed and balanced review. I hope they give this treatment to the CSB.
Thanks!!
Im glad they left out the two color design. Mines on the way
Genuine leather is pig skin. If you don’t want your Bible lined in an abomination steer clear!
I would love to have a bible that big to read from
Great review!
Thanks!
This is an amazing Bible. I do however prefer the NKJV large print wide margin Bible, as the footnotes and references are set off in red, making it much easier to find them
The fact that he refused to speak down on other manufacturers at multiple points of this interview spoke volumes of the company. They do not seem to subscribe to the ‘elitist’ mentality. When you are good at something, other people will profess it for you.
I love this!!
What year did the 1611 become available in small size to the public?
Amazing
I have the latest the refreshed olive Green. It’s stunning with the Lion stomping the serpent . And for those complaining about the price , you can’t put premium on the Word of God. The Word of God should be taken as reverence anyway. And it should be personal to each individual.
