Excellent review. I really liked the format of the Crossway. I especially liked having the refs and notes on the side, rather thsn in the center. In my opinion, center refs make the page look cluttered, and makes it hard for those with vision issues to read the text.
I appreciate the wide margins in this edition, however, having other ESV Bibles with all the cross references in one block in my opinion makes it very difficult to find an exact cross reference. I'd rather have the center column any day.
Do you find the paper in the heirloom here to be adequate for writing? I never considered writing in a bible so I'm looking to supplement my omega ESV goatskin, Reformation Study Bible, with one like this for separate functions. (I use the Omega reference as my reader. It's so gorgeous.) Do you take your goatskin bibles to worship nights, community groups etc? Have you found it to be durable for that?
I just feel the pages are so thin they are going to tear. I am using my KJV Cambridge still, but other than that fear of riping a page off I like the ESV better. I guess a micron pen won't bleed through?
Whoo! Sorry Matthew - outa my league. I checked the price $800!? I love reading the Word of the Living God daily but but, I just picked up a single column wide margin ESV and thought I was special getting that one. Appreciate your comments but will have to have a pass on this one. Be blessed
Great review. I use the crossway wide margin, heirloom everyday. It's my study, preaching, teaching, take everywhere bible! Love it!
I can only dream to own this bible. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing xx
Pray to God to be succesfull and well, work hard and i guarantee you can buy 100 of these without breaking the bank one day
Great review of the Crossway Heirloom Wide Margin. I am so used to the Cambridge it would take some getting used to if a switch was made.
Thank You for your fine review. The print in the ESV is pt 9, in the Cambridge, it’s pt 8.
Crossway makes beautiful Bibles!
This looks wonderful. I’ve migrated to the ESV and am currently enjoying the Topaz. However I’m now considering a wide margin.
I recently purchased this Bible. I really like it but wish the paper was a little thicker. Thx for the review!
Your welcome! I did the editing

INCREDIBLE! Do you happened to have this bible for sale?
Great review Pastor Matt😊
Hey Matt, have you tried the Schuyler wide margin? If so, what are your comparison thoughts?
Great review. Thanks.
I like the lined paper in the back for the Cambridge. Anything comparable in the ESV wide margin?
Excellent video. I like both of these bibles. If only someone could produce a Bible with the strong points of each bible ....

I want to get this but I'm afraid of the stiff hinge Crossway is known for, would you say that it would be all right and would get better with time?
the hinge calms down quickly after breaking in the binding. after a few weeks of use at most, it lies flat.

"Do you find the paper in the heirloom here to be adequate for writing?" Yes, better than expected.
October 2020 and the Amazon link is showing over $800 for this Bible. I am a little confused!
How does this compare to the Cambridge NASB wide margin in goat skin?
Heirloom vs Omega?
Will Crossway make a Heirloom Wide Margin with 2016 text??
I just feel the pages are so thin they are going to tear. I am using my KJV Cambridge still, but other than that fear of riping a page off I like the ESV better. I guess a micron pen won't bleed through?
Moises G.V. i find the 005 micron in red works best in the heirloom widemargin. You will always have some show ghosting but no bleeding at all.
do you have any pics on facebook to show?
Moises G.V. i just posted some in wide margin bible super fan page on Facebook
Which bible do you use when you preach? I normally preach out of my Eagle but I’m thinking about switching.
Whichever brings you more joy! On behalf of the Pastor - Blessings!
I like better the old one.

$800? I just picked this up used for $75.
Why do people care about Ribs, or Satan ribbons 🎀?
Another bible that i don't have...
