So I was wrong about the Pitt Minion...

- So I have a confession to make, I have been really enjoying doing my daily readings from Cambridge’s Pitt Minion, specifically the ESV edition featured in this video. I was a little hasty to write the Pitt off before but if you get the right binding and translation such as I am enjoying here, it’s slim and compact dimensions make a lot of sense as an alternative every day carry.
Yes the print could be more readable, but I’ve been enjoying it in natural light and it is at least a crisp digital font.
But one at Burton Bibles!

I agree. Natural light makes a an enormous difference for me too. I wish they would make this as a text only Bible. The font could be increased to one that would work better for more people.
Yes I would be v happy to see a text version of this too. The font size could increase by a point and hopefully reformatted in verse by verse! We can wish... God bless!
I’d buy a few new ones if they dropped the references. I have KJV and NASB Pitt Minions. I can read them in bright daylight w/o my glasses. It’s a great car Bible.
Allan used to bind and sell a text-only Pitt Minion. Used to have one.
I have an NASB in brown goatskin. It’s my everyday carry . I find it readable for my old fifty plus years, eyes. Cambridge makes a nice sturdy Bible. Although it has some wear after five years it’s held up well. I’m thinking of getting a backup in black when I retire this or upgrade to a Clarion.
Glad you are enjoying your Pitt Minion bibles. I've enjoyed mine since June of 1963.
😊👌
As a prison chaplain, the Pitt Minon is my prison BIble (Brown Goatskin NIV) because it fits in my back pocket and I can take it anywhere in the prison without carrying a large intimidating Bible.
That’s great to hear brother, be encouraged! God bless
I dig the Pitt Minion II KJV. (It's my everyday carry) A lot of people don't seem to like it because it's not verse-by-verse...I like it because it's not verse-by-verse. XD
Yes my preference would be verse by verse but I have still come to appreciate this Bible as it is! 👍👌
You’ll like that imitation leather NLT edition, it’s one of the nicest imitation leather covers I’ve seen. I have a video of it on my channel, one of my first ones if I recall but it’s nice. Cambridge is just an amazing publisher in general. I like the looks of the cover on that ESV.
Yes sister their imitation leathers are first class, in fact for the PM I really like them! God bless
1:20 The paragraph format is what the original text was written in. Division of the text into verses came much later. Italian Dominican biblical scholar Santes Pagnino (1470-1541) was the first person to divide the text (New Testament only). Divisions into chapter are also, historically speaking, of recent origin. Eerly 13th century, Archbishop Stephen Langton and Cardinal Hugo de Sancto Caro developed different schemas for systematic division of the Bible into chapters . It is the system of Archbishop Langton on which the modern chapter divisions are based.
Great information thank you. It’s a subjective thing but I vastly prefer reading chapter and verse layouts! God bless
Hello Brother, great to see your honest review of this Bible! I think one of these would be a great addition to have. Looking forward to your upcoming reviews of the NLT and the NKJV! 😍🤗✝️💗📖
Yes I’m glad I persevered with it and I’m really loving them now! Great daily carry Bible. 👍
Nice to find a bible channel from a fellow Brit! Thanks for the informative video, will have to look at picking one up if I can find a good deal. Thanks.
No problem and Greta to hear from a fellow Brit too! Feel free to browse my website!
I really enjoy the ESV translation 😻
So do I! It suits the Pitt Minion really well also. 👍
I like a larger text size. The Topaz is great, but I think a 10pt variation of the Pitt Minion text would be great too. They've increased it to 8pt for the Diadem edition, so I might give that a look...
It’s excellent. Not a ‘large’ print though…
Excellent video! Your eyes must be much better than mine.
Well I wouldn’t say it’s easy to read but having spend some time with it in correct light I have to say it’s better than I initially thought. 👍 God bless bro!
Hey, just wondering if you got the NLT in Imitation Leather?? If so, can you give any feedback? Is it durable etc? Thanks much ☺️👍🙂
Hi, yes I do actually! The imitation leather Cambridge use is probably the best IL I have seen, it’s really good. On the NLT edition I have the spine is gilt embossed in a beautiful bronze colour as well. Really nice. Totally recommend it!
I got the goatskin for only 29 dollars
Yes occasionally they are on sale really cheap! God bless
Wow nice. I got it recently for $75 but it was slightly used. With inflation etc I don’t think you’ll ever see a deal like that again.
To the pit with every Minion which is not a KJV. IT HAS THE DOMINION.
