I think the drop-caps are beautiful, but it ultimately came down to owning one premium Bible. The Stridon offered everything I want, so that's what I chose. I purchased the Marbled Mahogany Calfskin. It's gorgeous!
@@timwildsmith I am looking for something like the Traveris where its single column with the verses to the very left of the page, but don't care for the colored edges of the pages, I prefer hard cover, & I like seeing the chapter numbers. Any suggestions?
Agree 💯….I have way too many Bibles - including Schuyler KJV Canterbury + many (for me) others. I’m tired of buying Bibles 😂….. I find myself reaching for my ESV Firebrick Red Treveris over all of them. I’m way too easily distracted & can get very distracted. ADHD to the max. ESV Treveris is the one Bible I tend to read for extended periods. I actually get immersed in the Scriptures - away from knowledge seeking & my Spirit seems fed. Just love it. Me, Treveris + Holy Spirit.
Love the look of the Stridon! Hopefully, they do Stridon in CSB at some point. I'd scoop that up quick to use for my preaching Bible. Thanks for all you do! :)
I prefer the Treveris. It reads like a normal book. For me, a single column is a must and for this reason, I have both the ESV and KJV of the Treveris. My first single-column experience was with the Cambridge Clarion. Haven't looked back.
For reading the Bible like a regular book, check out Crossway's 6-volume ESV Readers set, too. I think it's still available. It's beautiful, has regular book paper and no additions to the text. I love it! Mine is black leather hardback in a wooden case but there is a fabric covered hardback set that's not as expensive. I've never seen anything to compare for ease of reading a Bible. I love Schuyler Bibles too and have many of them.
This was definitely a comparison I was looking forward to seeing! Thank you Tim for diving into it! I'm excited for the upcoming release of the ESV Stridon! It will be my first Bible from Schuyler!
I own both formats but if I were to choose a preference, I prefer the Stridon. I have a preference for verse-by-verse , single column format. It's great for preaching and studying and this can pass off as a reader if need be. Thanks for the video comparison, Tim!
Thank-you for this video! Now, that’s it’s getting close to the ESV Stridon coming out I wanted to compare it to the Trevaris and of course you had the video I needed to watch! Again thank-you!! I’m now even more confident that I would like to get the Stridon!! 😊
Like both! But I would choose Stridon! Been working hard at memorizing verses, and Stridon format makes it easy for me to find verses while still easy to read. Thanks!
I do not yet own one, but for me, it is the Stridon, due to its verse format and notes and references. To my eyes, the layout is very beautiful. The red chapter, verse, and reference numbers are useful and artistic. Thank you!
I like them both, but I blame you for that 😂! I love single column bibles and can’t read from a double column anymore. So my love for single column format is all your fault haha.
I love my Treveris, it is beautiful and feels like butter, but if I had to, I would choose the Stridon. I copy verses from my reading every day so it is sometimes difficult with the Treveris to know the verse number. I also cant read without wanting to know more, so not having cross references is inconvenient for me. I have a Stridon just need to make the switch. (My Stridon is green goatskin but feels like calfskin-a wonderful surprise!)
Between a single-column VBV and a single-column reader -- neither of which I currently own at this time -- I'm more likely to go for a single-column VBV first (Go Stridon!!). Would I turn away a single-column reader? No. But first things first -- Stridon. It's getting HARDER and HARDER to pick out a first Schuyler!! (ESV comparison of Quentel vs. PSQ vs. WM Quentel vs. Treveris vs. Stridon? Can't wait to see that video, and Can't wait to get that headache trying to decide!!)
I am not a fan of the Stridon, but love the Treveris which I happen to have in KJV and is a real pleasure to read from. The Treveris in ESV would be a wonderful addition for me. The size of the Treveris is a perfect size in my female hands, too, next to my PSQ’s.
The Stridon is close to the perfect format for me, so I'd welcome any translation for it. However, I wish they'd gone with the '95 NASB to start, but that won't happen, unfortunately. I still got one in slate goatskin though 😬😁.
@@waynehalford9957 It feels more consistent to me in terms of word choice. The 2020 will read closely to the '95 but then will suddenly switch to using simpler phrases (unnecessarily so, I think), so it's a little jarring at times. The 2020 also seems to have a lot more supplied words to smooth the English, which is distracting due to the italic formatting of such words or phrases. My observations are only based on casual reading though, so experiences will vary.
I do too. I don't like the NASB 2020; much prefer the '95 edition. Right now it's still available in the Quentels and PSQs. I ordered a Quentel recently and am loving it. Might want to grab one of the '95s before they sell out of this printing. It might be the last. :(
Very helpful. I'm a Schuyler fanatic and have bought many, but neither of these two newer ones. I like the Stridon better. The text looks too dense on the Treveris, maybe not enough leading to suit me. Both are beautiful Bibles, though.
Both bibles are very beautiful and the layout for each is appealing to the eye. Having a preference for verse by verse over paragraph, I like the Stridon over the Treveris.
As far as picking one over the other. I'd likely use the EVS Treveris over the Stridon. The EVS Study Bible (Crossway) already provides ALL my reference needs. That said, I love the ability to simply read the Word of God without distraction.
can anyone compare the Schuyler Stridon and Quentel against the Cambridge Topaz for me please. I am seeking my very 1st premium bible and i am on limited income so i cannot redo this purchase and it will be my primary long term bible ..... maybe for next decade. I have used the double column ESV bonded leather bible that was about $60 primarily for past 2 decades and it is literally falling apart. Cover is torn from spine. I loved that bible but am going to switch to the KJV which i have never enjoyed reading up to this point so I may just get the NKJV because these truly are more accurate translations. I was shocked and heartbroken to discover my ESV was not a straight translation and had 16 verses actually removed from the bible - some of those not even in footnote form. How difficult is it to go to single column from double? What do you all think? Which one would you chose from these? or which one is your fav and why?? thanks Fam.

Beautiful Bibles to be sure. My next purchase will be the Stridon ESV later in 2023

ESV Treveris hands down
Stridon because I love verse by verse!

Stridon for the win 😊.
Clean, easy on the eyes and a direct hit in the level of detail I like, short of a full-on study buble.
My 2 favorites-esv treveris for reading… esv stridon for preaching
Thanx, Tim 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Of course!
I have the Canterbury KJV in the Imperial Blue. However, I'm looking for an ESV. I think I am getting a Stridon in the Marbles Truscany Calfskin.
Stridon, and it’s not close. It is my favorite lay out by far
I would love an LSB in this format. I really like the text notes have the verse number
Sorry I would love an LSB Stridon
Gotcha!
Although the fonts are the same size on both, it seems like the Stridon is easier on the eyes to read. Does that seem accurate?
I have the Quintel the PSQ and the Trerevis but not the Stridon. I’m interested but not sold!
can anyone compare the Schuyler Stridon and Quentel against the Cambridge Topaz for me please. I am seeking my very 1st premium bible and i am on limited income so i cannot redo this purchase and it will be my primary long term bible ..... maybe for next decade.

How difficult is it to go to single column from double?
What do you all think? Which one would you chose from these?
or which one is your fav and why??
thanks Fam.
If Schuyler made the stridon in the psq size or a more midsize , that would be my “the one”
If you like the stridon and prefer higher GSM paper, check out Holman's Single column wide margin KJV (Made in Korea).
Cool Bibles!
Oh yeah!
Stridon for me. Hoping they'll do a NKJV version.
Me too!
That's my favorite translation, too. It would be lovely in a Stridon.
I don’t know. I’m too sold on the layout of the Topaz.
I could never go NASB again. just preference
What do you read now?
@@timwildsmith ESV mainly but trying to fall in love with the KJV again. Coming from IFB KJVO makes it hard to pick up now though.
Would it be contrarian to say a Quentel? 😂
Hahahaha.
