That CSB has really blown me away. I absolutely love mine. I wish it wasn’t printed in China, but their choice to go with 33 gsm paper makes the block beat any current model Schuyler for me. 32 gsm and up only for me from now on, I hate how hard it is to turn the page on 28gsm. The fact that it’s less than half the price of a schuyler is also amazing and so it’s also an incredible value.
Top 4 for me would be:
1.) ESV Heirloom Heritage
2.) CSB Thinline Two tone
3.) NKJV MACLAREN series Large Print Thinline Reference
4.) CSB Life Counsel Bible
Nice!
So glad for NET recognition! I've routinely found that it handles translating difficult passages in the best way and then gives a great footnote to explain why!
We'll make the list one of these days 😉
Maybe we can work on a design together!
@@timwildsmith that sounds interesting, let's talk!
I sure hope this Schuyler NASB wide margin I just ordered will be my #1! I have been wanting one. Schuyler won with the rose gold Humble Lambs being sold out.
In my opinion the new redesigned @humblelamb KJV Lion is #1!!!!!!
I need a compact Shepard!!!!
I'm really glad for you. I love all the effort and goodwill poured by you to make this channel what it is. Congratulations and I hope all the best.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing not only about Bibles, but also about your ministry.
You’re welcome!
Thank you, Brother Tim 🌹⭐🌹
You are very welcome!
My recent favorite is the NIV Side-Column Personal-Size Reference Bible. I actually found out about it through your videos. It was the one that was right for me! 😎
Enjoyed your top 5 and nice to see an NIV in there. I’ve a small collection - my favourite is my brown NIV1 and an honarable mention for my NIV Pitt Minion.
Looking forward to the forthcoming NRSV from Allan and in the Diadem.
I own at least 300 bibles including some printed in foreign languages. My two favorite bibles versions are NIV and NLT. I own numerous copies of these versions.
I gotta ask - what foreign languages?
Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, Korean, Swedish and some islamic. But they are all based on the king James version.
@@monopolylife Islamic? Do you mean Arabic?
@@BGID7 yes, sorry.
Love your lists!!
New to it all.
Building my collection.
Schuyler NLT. And Schuyler ESV PSQ
Next - bigger version of ESV. Def will check out your number 1!!
Sounds great... have fun!
I recently got the csb single column marbled calfskin in slate grey and I absolutely adore it!
NKJV Single Column from Nelson is my favorite right now, but after seeing the wide margin from Nelson I may be buying that and getting it rebound! I wish they would bring it back!
I just ordered a CSB single column rebind, very excited to get this bible before I preach my first ever sermon!
Awesome!
My favorite is the CSB Study Bible (not the Everyday Study Bible.) I keep going back to that one. Cross references, commentaries, color pictures, archaeological finds, maps throughout the text, double column, red letter. Not a journaling Bible, but enough room to jot down notes. It’s big as a boat anchor, but I love it.
My favorite Bible for about 5 years now has been my Schuyler Thinline Quentel in NAS95. I like how large the print is for how thin the Bible is. It is a perfect ratio for me. I don't know if I will ever switch to a different Bible as my "main" Bible.
My father recently died and I was given the opportunity to pick what I wanted from his belongings. I picked his KJV Bible that he read all through my childhood and I ALSO received my grandfather's KJV Bible that was in my father's possession. That blew me out of the water. I was so surprised by that! Those Bibles mean the world to me.
Congratulations 🎉
This channel has opened my
Eyes to the many types of different bibles. Who knew?? 😊
Wonderful!
My current favorite translations are ESV and CSB. After watching this I am interested in checking out the NET Full Notes Edition. That will be top of my list for next to purchase.
I appreciate your channel brother
So nice of you!
The ESV Heritage is my favorite this year! 😊 I love that it's single column since I prefer single column for reading (but I'm fine with double columns for studying). I love that its chapter and verse numbers aren't obtrusive so it can almost be a reader's version or at least a hybrid. I love the beautiful font type and size. I love that the words per line and the spaces between lines make the reading experience feel very comfortable and breathable, not dense and crowded. I love that the paper looks even more opaque than its premium cousin the Heirloom Heritage (I own the Prussian blue Heirloom Heritage). And I love that it's quite affordable relative to its good quality ($35 when I ordered it). It's a wonderful Bible.
The Trump Bible is #1
For studying I like ESV in the double columns and for just reading the Humble Lamb History book looks beautiful 😊
Good choice!
Okay Tim...Love the video and nice to see your preferences... I now have a favorite that I decided to invest in... It is (drum roll) the Schuyler NASB Stridon...It is amazing!
Good choice!
Yea I don't love the NET translation but the notes are really good. Thanks for reminding me it's on my shelf.. kinda forgot about it. Will get it back in my study pile
I don't have a top 5 list yet, but because of your channel my little pile of 6 cheaper bibles has turned into a bigger pile, 16, of multiple translations with my now preferred single column text block, still cheaper versions, but when i find my top five they will be off to the rebind shops. Looking forward to reading your book to help me find my FAV-5 :-) Thanks for doing what you do, it's definitely sparked my interest in reading different Bibles.
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Great video as always Tim. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey I love you reviews
Loving my verse-by-verse handcrafted CSB.
Beautiful Bibles!
Great video Tim ❤
Thank you!
My favorite is Free on the Inside, Readers Edition. The Rhythm and harmonization of the words are Pleasant for the ears to hear.
I love annual traditions.🎉🎉🎉
Me too!!
Looking forward to the Heritage ESV!👏
I’m currently using the Bible I was given in bootcamp. The military challenge bible it’s small and compact. At home my wife and I are using the chronological NLT bible.
Can’t wait
I have only used the NET online but it definitely would be a good purchase for studying purposes…. I’m actually looking to purchase a Schuyler NIV this year for preaching as well. I still enjoy my ESV Crossway Wide 1 inch Margin Trutone Bible…. Thought about getting it rebound to some high quality leather because it is my favorite go to Bible.
Nice I own pastor Tim’s favorite Bible! I went for the Prussian blue premium but if it’s the same format I agree it’s a beautiful layout. I use the NET in Bible study. It’s so easy to geek out on all those notes! 🤭❤️ Blessings ✝️
Following Tim's recommendation, I purchased the Crossway ESV Bible (2024 #1 pick). I was curious and did a bit more research, reading excerpts and educating myself about Crossway's history. I am in full agreement with Tim's review, a lovely effort by Crossway. I am new to the single column format, it is a comfortable read (like a book). I have previously gone for the more expensive options (but no more than $150.00) as a lifetime investment. However, this version delivers and will be the one I carry with me each day in my work bag. The translation notes in the Preface really sold me, for the Translation Oversight Committee's honest and gracious intentions. Thank you Tim, for your always helpful advice.
I want a leather NLT Catholic edition. Might have to do a rebind!
My ESV LEGO verse by verse rebound by Lion and Lamb is my favorite. The paper is second to none. The Heritage is second- the Horween edition. Such a spectacular Bible. The Allan ESV NCR1 limited mahogany is my third.
Top 5 for me would be:
5. Cambridge NIV Insight Wide Margin (rebound by Scriptura Bibles)
4. Cambridge NRSV Wide Margin - Minister Text
3. Allan NIV1
2. Zondervan NIV or NRSV Side Column Wide Margin (Single column wide margin for the NRSV) Premier Collection
1. Allan NRSV1
Nice list, Kyle!
I have the premium black goatskin heritage and it’s so beautiful 😍
Honourable mentions on my list would include a recently purchased ESV single column journalling Bible and an NKJV "Reader's" Bible. I also have an as yet seldom used full notes edition of the NET, not to be confused with the older NEB (which i first came aware of in the early 1970s). I also like the CSB.
Congratulations on yr ordination
Thank you!
I have the NET full notes bible on the Olive Tree app and a physical copy, plus a couple of different copies of the NET. I love having the translation notes. The CSB and the HCSB are great translations.
Love this list!
Have you done a review on top __ study bibles yet?!
Coming soon-ish!
@@timwildsmith yay! Also wondering if you have done a review for Bible “carriers/bags/etc” of all sorts ?!
I love that ESV Heritage Bible from Crossway.
ESV Pitt minion still my favourite ATM
Have you ever reviewed any bibles from abroad or in foreign languages? My two favorite bibles I picked up in Iceland and Finland. One is red velvet and the other is blue velvet respectively. But my daily is the esv study bible. It's hefty to carry around but I love having all the references for deeper study!
Ok, I too like the ESV Heritage. I have the Blue Goatskin but the paper tint is a tad too blue. On your recommendation, I purchased the trutone edition because you said the paper was great. Maybe it's just my copy but I found the paper between the books Gen - Job to be very coarse. However, from Psalms forward it is very smooth. I'm not sure if this is a consistent issue or not.
Can you do a top 5 study bibles too please?
Working on it!
My favorite: ESV Heritage Heirloom. The cheap ones are fantastic too. I’ve given multiple of them away. But the heirloom paper is night and day better. If you’re looking for a premium ESV that will last forever, that’s the one.
My fingers are crossed that the Legacy Standard Bible take their translation notes published on master seminary and do something similar of the NET open note bible.
My wife asked me what I would like for my birthday in June, "an ESV Heritage" I said. She ordered it in Wellington! I never thought I would have such a Bible, it looks to have ticked all of the boxes for me and then some (premium). Understated, ESV, single column with no extras. Wow prefect!
Thank you for your information Tim, keep up the good work.👍
That desert camel calfskin is gorgeous
Yaaaaassss!!!
Great list! And I entirely sympathize with your affection for the CSB. It's becoming my preferred translation for when I just want to read scripture with the NASB (both '95 and '20) being my translation for study.
With that in mind, my favorites right now:
1. Allan R1 Reader '95 - Blown away at how nice it is. Truly stunning.
2. NASB Stridon - My go to for both Church and personal reading
3. CSB Personal Size in Saddle Brown - what I keep at work.
4. Lockman Prime Reference - Honestly, the perfect-sized Bible to me. It's hard to find, and the CSB personal size is the only other one I have seen close to it. Lockman's fonts are the only thing holding me back from rating it higher
5. CSB Handcrafted Single Column, wide margin - just an amazing Bible for desk reading in the morning/evening.
P.S. Congratulations for all the attention on the videos. Wish you the very best for your work and really hope that people appreciate the heart with which you are approaching this site, and not just the bibliophile aspects. (I love books - so I have to check myself sometimes to make sure my affection for books isn't getting in the way of my respect for scripture.)
Thank you kindly!
Thanks Tim, l am looking for a good NIV personal size, it is nice to have your suggestions.
I love the NIV PSQ!
My KJV Thompson Chain rebind by Leonard. and I just purchased a NKJV Single column wide margin. I hope to make this my favorite.
Right now my favorite is a Hosanna Revival large print CSB notetaking Bible . It’s been a great tool for recording my thoughts, as well as insights from the Spirit while I’m reading. I’d like to get one in a different translation for the next time I read through the Bible. The top one on my wishlist is the CSB Reader’s Bible set because the print size and paper quality will be excellent for my aging eyes.
Thanks for sharing!!
Love my CSB verse by verse handcrafted
The Logos Bible app. Does that count? I absolutely adore being able to make extensive notes and connect multiple scriptures together in these notes. That has revolutionized my Bible study like I could never have imagined. I didn't really need all that fancy commentary stuff, though I do use it on occasion. I do absolutely love seeing the original Greek and Hebrew definitions, too, but the simple notes feature is my favorite. And I'm very much a digital girl.
I hardly touch my physical Bibles, but of those, I would have to say the ESV Archeology Bible would be my fave. Lots of fantastic pictures that Logos cannot even begin to touch, and the archeology commentary is nice, too, when they aren't calling Israel by the name of God's enemy, that is.
My Subjective Top Five Favorite Bibles:
5. NLT Notemaker's Bible (1996 NLT Text with wide margins and lines at the bottom)
4. NASB MacArthur Study Bible (Second Edition)
3. NET Bible (Full Notes Edition)
2. The Reformation Study Bible ESV
1. NASB Ryrie Study Bible (Blue Bonded Leather 1995 Edition)--not for the study notes, and not for the Dispensational perspective, but simply for the amazing outlines throughout the text. This is the best outlined Bible I have ever owned and it is my favorite. Moody updated the Bible and the text is smaller, the inline (gutter) margins not as wide, and the font has changed (and I don't like it). But the '95 Edition of Ryrie, with the '95 NASB, is my everyday and favorite Bible.
I discovered the NET bible a few months ago. I had a place for it on the shelf but it’s never there because it’s always on my desk right at hand.
Hey Tim or anyone that knows , I got my first ever really nice Bible after watching these videos a little while back. Went with the Schuyler KVJ and I cannot believe how amazing the quality is. Unfortunately I don’t like reading the kjv as much and want to get another Schuyler but I saw you talking about RL Allen. Are they as nice quality? For instance the paper in my Bible is so smooth and soft it’s mind blowing compared to any bibles iv had before . Is the Allen on that level? They are expensive but I’m definitely willing to try one
Some Allan’s are printed on that same paper, but not all of them. You can check in the description of the Bible on their website.
My top five - 1. Schuyler NIV Quentel black pearl, 2. Schuyler NLT Quentel black goat, 3. Schuyler NASB Stridon Blue, 4. NRSVue Zondervan black goat, 5. Schuyler PSQ NIV blue
Great list!
@@timwildsmith Thanks ... my brown Allan NIV(1) and Holman NASB202 LPThinline black goat, and Caxton MM NLT rank as 'nearly in the top 5 as well)
1. CSB Everyday Study (it was cheap but I’ve grown to love it)
2. NET Full Notes
3. Berean Standard Bible (Narrow Gate Rebind) - This may top the list soon.
4. NLT Life Application
5. NLT Jesus Centered Bible by Group. Mainly for the Old Testament blue letter references to Jesus.
Great list!
Love this list! I'm giving the CSB Everyday Study Bible to someone in the current Baptism class and I'm glad to see it listed here as a favorite. The NET Full Notes is awesome and stays on my desk. I need to get a physical copy of the Berean, right now I just go to their website to read it, but that's a translation I have truly come to enjoy and appreciate.
1. ESV with Apocrypha from Anglican Liturgy Press. It’s affordable, it looks beautiful, and it includes the entire Apocrypha in a separate section. More for reading.
2. CSB Ancient Faith Study Bible by Holman. It feels like I’m having conversations with some of the earliest Christian authors-it reinforces the connections and continuity of our faith.
Just two.
That ESV Heritage is on my list to purchase this year. Currently my top 5:
5-ESV Wide Margin in Genuine Leather
4-NKJV Sovereign Wide Margin in Leathersoft.
3-NLT Wide Margin in hardcover (leather-like over board).
2-ESV Personal Reference Bible in TruTone.
1-ESV Quentel in blue 🐐.
Congratulations on your recent ordination and thanks for another year of great videos!
Thanks!
My order depends on the use…
Schuyler CSB PSQ Deep Purple
HHC Single Column Personal Size Marbled Slate
He Reads Truth Bible CSB
ESV Compact SCR Leather Touch

I had a hard time choosing 5. There were several others I could have included.
New subscriber,
Thank you for what you do…
Question: do you write your own notes in a bible… if so, which bible and which pen to avoid bleed through and ghosting?
Thank you
I use fine line micron pens and Mr. Pen gel highlighter or Crayola colored pencils. No risk of bleed through or smearing with the pencils.
Thank you for responding…
Are there certain bibles you make your own notes? and which bibles do you definitely not write in?
ESV heritage in Wellington leather is my number 1. ESV Cambridge wide margin is my number 2.
My Top 5
1. KJV Westminster Bible & Fire Bible
2. NKJV Woman’s Study Bible
3. 1977 NASB
4. NLT Illustrated Study Bible
5. Amplified Bible
Nice!
Have you ever thought about reviewing The Action Bible, a comic book version for kids? Thanks Just wondering about your thoughts on The Action Bible.
I will always have a fondness for the first Bible I got for first communion, The Good News Bible.
I have also enjoyed the chronological Bible.
Do you have any recommendations for a Catholic heirloom type Bible, that includes a place for birthdays, deaths, marriages? - one that’s not huge and clunky.
I'm not Tim, but I'd like to suggest checking out the St. Joseph Edition Bibles at Catholic Book Publishing Corp.'s website. It's their own New Catholic Bible translation, and they have lots and lots of options to pick from. The higher-end Bibles have all kinds of inserts, including family record sections. They do offer big, clunky Bibles, but also some decent-sized ones. Just poke around and you'll probably find something that fits what you're looking for.
A little over a year ago I bought an ESV legacy in (what is now somewhat uncommon) dark brown goatskin from the facebook groups. I wanted to see if the odd style was for me or not. After a year of use and notetaking in the wide margins I have grown to adore this copy of God's word. I have broke it in like a well-used baseball glove and it is so floppy and beautiful. It constantly draws me to spend time with the Lord in it! Just gotta change out those dinky crossway ribbons!
Awesome! Love to hear this.
1. Longprimer KjV navy blue speckel Allen
2 NLT Caxton sunfire Schuyler
3ESV study bible Calfskin tuscany
4KJV cambidge family chronicle vloth over board
NJV blue bible
I'd love a CSB Stridon but the folks at EB have told me they don't have plans for one at the moment. 😢
😢😢
Great list, great video!
My top 5 would be...
1. Allan ESV SCR
2. Schuyler ESV Stridon
3. Crossway ESV Alpha
4. LSB ICR
5. Crossway ESV Heritage
I don't think I'm your target audience, based on most of the comments I'm seeing. But I'll chime in anyway because I enjoy the discussion.
If I had to whittle down my ever-growing stack of Bibles, the two I wouldn't want to give up are my 1966 Jerusalem Bible, limited edition with a white hard leather cover; and my Didache Bible (RSV2CE). I like both translations for different reasons. I currently own the Didache Bible in hardback, but one of these days I want to replace it with the leatherbound.
Thanks for sharing!
Tim, I thought the Cambridge Topaz was one of your favorites? It certainly is one of mine.
I love to… but not currently in the Top 5.
The Humble Lamb KJV Lion in pink is my favorite because it's hard to find a girly premium Bible, and, um, I'm a girl, so....
Schuyler NASB ‘95 Quentel black pearl calfskin, is my absolute favourite!
Schuyler ESV PSQ Quentel British tan;
Cambridge NKJV Topaz dark blue;
Crossway ESV thin line Horween leather;
Cambridge Cameo KJV brown calfskin.
I love each one!
GREAT list!
I'm getting a Life Application Study Bible KJV. I think it's gonna be an awesome Bible. I have 13 bibles right now.
Question Tim the music used in the video especially as the outgoing music is that you playing on the guitar 🎸
Nope!
This is a real problem for me so...My top five in no particular order are - English Standard Version wide margin large print; NET I will be getting the notes edition; NKJV Cultural Study Bible; NIV study bible;NLT Life Application Study Bible; The Christian Standard Version, the ESV wide margin large print is my daily go to bible that's the best I can do on a different day the list would shuffle
Hey Tim, I was watching one of your videos describing how you study the Bible, and you had a stack of NTL and WBC along with a smaller thin red book that you didn’t identify. I think it said Cambridge on the spine. Do you recall the red book you had placed on top of the WBC books?
I think it was a standalone commentary of Ephesians.
hey Tim, are you still writing on your blog? i had subscribed to your blog during the bibliotheca giveaway but, i haven't gotten any newsletters since
Yep! Planning to send an email next week!
I definitely think the NET is useful, but one thing I do not like about it is the translators sound a little too scholarly at times. I've seen several notes that say something like, "The Hebrew does not make sense here, so we think it should be this similarly spelled word instead." Granted they usually justify it with an ancient translation or some other manuscript support, but the way they say "does not make sense" strikes me as a little disrespectful for a Christian textual critic. Textual criticism is needed because we have multiple manuscripts and we ultimately have to make choices between them, but we should be humble enough to consider that we might be making the wrong choice and not potentially say the Word of God does not make sense. We can miss HOW it makes sense. Just something I never hear people critique about the NET but is a glaring flaw to me.
1. 2013 NASB Schuyler Quentel
2. NASB Schuyler Quentel Wide Margin
3. Bibliotheca
4. NASB Humble Lamb History
5. 2022 NIV Schuyler Quentel FY
1) Holman KJV Study Bible
2) Schuyler Treveris ESV
3) Schuyler Quentel NIV
4) Cambridge Wide-Margin (with Scofield notes)
5) Zondervan NASB, Preacher’s Bible
Recommendation please: best leather bound NIV journaling study Bible. My grandson requested one as a gift for graduation. Didn’t know a channel such as yours existed but I’m glad I found you. You give very thoughtful reviews.
I don't know of any NIVs that are both journalling and study Bibles... but they make an ESV one. I'll add the links below.
NIV Journaling: amzn.to/4bpYUpq
NIV Study: amzn.to/4adkU5T
ESV Journaling Study Bible: amzn.to/4doMyjj
@@timwildsmith thanks for the reco. Looks like I’m going in this direction.
My current top Bibles are:
1) LSB Inside Column Reference - good update to the NASB as the translation goes, and the opacity of the paper and the 11-point font just make this super readable
2) CSB Study Bible - I love the CSB as less literal translations go (inevitably there are still some bugbears for me in Paul...), it's a really nicely done study Bible, and my copy's purple!
3) Jewish Study Bible - maybe not one to bring to church (and this just contains the OT of course), but it's brilliant from a scholarly perspective
4) NASB MacArthur Study Bible (2nd ed) - okay, not as high-quality as study Bibles are these days, but I actually find MacArthur's notes generally helpful, even though he's far more conservative than me (his explanation for the Moses was the most humble man on earth verse in Numbers 12 is ingenious, but I don't buy it at all)
5) CEB Study Bible with Apocrypha - maybe I'm sticking this one in because of how awful the SBL Study Bible is, but it's still my favourite study Bible to include the Apocrypha
Tim, have you noticed quality issues with ribbons on Bibles coming from publishers? I’ve bought from Holman, Crossway, and Thomas Nelson in the last year - extremely disappointed in the quality of the ribbons and binding. Often the ribbons are glued in crooked or with an edge folded. I’ve had to return or exchange a handful of Bibles in the last year because the quality was poor out of the box.
