The TBS Windsor leather is a lovely Bible. You will not need any other (unless you want a reference Bible). It has a lovely clear font, quality cream paper and beautifully laid out which makes it very easy on the eye. The leather I hear is calf split. By buying it you are supporting the distribution of scripture to those who need it too. What is not to like! You can get the soft vinyl cover version with the same Jongbloed paper and print quality for like 10 bucks.God bless.
Excellent review on these three Bibles. The KJV Windsor is my daily reader. I will divert sometimes to other translations for a short season, for a change of pace, but I end up back with the KJV and this wonderful Bible. Been using it for several years now and absolutely love it. Not everyone will agree with me on this, but I believe it is, $ for $, the best value Bible out there for the KJV. That Holman looks really nice. I've held those soft Holman cowhide Bibles (various translations) in LifeWay stores several times, but the one you showed is the first I've seen that didn't have the text running into the gutter. The leather binding is incredible, but the text block... font, red letter, etc. didn't seem to match the quality of the cover. It's like a Cadillac with a Pinto interior (showing my age). And what matters most is the actual reading experience inside the Bible. Which brings me back around to the Windsor. I love the cleanness of the layout and that font is very well executed. My first TBS Windsor, bought about 7 years ago, was nice, but the more recent ones are much better... the paper especially. But excellence at an incredible price is what you can expect from TBS. As Mark Bertrand said in his review several years ago, "If you've ever ordered from the Trinitarian Bible Society, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's a feeling you get, a blend of guilt and excitement, like you've just gotten away with something very fun but very bad. It's the price that does it. Or to be more precise, the ratio of price to value. You're used to paying more and getting less." Indeed.
Another great video thanks for this brother. As a Bible dealer here in the UK we are blessed to be able to work with Cambridge and TBS. These are great choices for those on a budget! God bless.
Great review!!! I will say the prices are much higher 3 years later then what you say. The Holman is inflated through the roof to almost $1000.00 on amazon so it must be out of print. The Windsor is advertised as 48.00 without shipping cost, and the emerald new starts at 60.00 with half price if you purchase used on amazon.
Walmart is selling a Holman supergiant print 16 point font KJV for $17.00. It actually looks very nice for its cheaper binding. Great Value and easy to read..
Recently ordered a TBS Windsor; on its way and should be in my hands next week. IIRC, this video is the one that brought this particular KJV Bible to my attention. As somebody who recently got into reading the Bible -- through some newer translations -- I was reluctant to try the KJV (Ye Olde English being my worry/concern). At least, until more recently. Muchas Gracias!!
I have the Cambridge Emerald text Bible. I bought it about 15 years ago. Its in the old style box. I payed $40 for it back then. I thought it was a steal so I got it.
Thank you for your review. I just received the TBS Windsor text Bible and wow! I purchased it for $50 from the KJV store. It just may be the perfect Bible for me. Keep up the good work.😊
The Windsor is the best daily use text Bible I have owned. The only negative is that it does not contain the Deuterocanonical books. Although I have converted to Catholicism I still love the King James and use it more often than not.
For me, an essential in an A.V. Bible is the presence of the Apocrypha, which is part of the A.V. Bible. Having the ORIGINAL alternative readings and references (which the 1611 translators provided from among themselves) is another "must".
Holman A.V. Bibles over the years have tended to reduce the number of marginal readings, other notes, and references that the A.V. Bible translators provided. They are lovely editions, however.
I absolutely love the Holman. I have Allen and Cambridge and LCBP and BPS and most of the TBS bibles and the Holman is the one I keep reaching for when I preach and teach. The font is strange to me only because I would much rather have a font that looks like the Cambridge here. With me it's not about collecting as some have assumed when they see how many bibles I own but it's about searching for the ONE. I believe I have found the one in the TBS Windsor but the leather...someday I will have to have someone rebind it for me. I love the Windsor so much I also got the Zippered version to have with me wherever I go. Anyhow, nice glance at these here bibles. The Holman is tough to find nowadays. I had considered getting a second one since that is the one I keep grabbing whenever I teach. My next bible will be the RL Allan Longprimer Thinline edition. I didn't want to jump on the first batch as this was their first run. In fact the thinlines that are offered now from Bibles Direct has a little note there saying that the remaining stock is discounted due to marks on art gilding and art gilt bleed. The discount isn't that much. I would rather get something of quality the first time when I am spending so much.
I had a Holman with that font, and I didn't like it either. I do love that brown cowhide, though. I have a different Holman large print than that one with the same cover. It is nice.
I don't mind Headings on the beginning of a chapter, or through the verses in my bibles. However i just can't stand reference bibles, it's so darn hard to find a Red letter text only bible, with top notch leather. It's always freaking either the Reference or study bibles, that has the good leathers options.
Good paper to me is when you have a Bible that you cant see the writing on the next page when you are reading. I don't care for how thin the pages are in some Bible's.
Thanks for sharing :) Very informative -- Proverbs 22: 3-6 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Thank you! I was so disappointed with the font in the Holman- it's not what I like at all. Which is disappointing because it's a nice Bible. The King James is God's Holy Word!!
It is Jongbloed, or more accurately, Royal Jongbloed. They are independent printers and publishers for the Dutch Reformed Church in the Netherlands and also for the (Protestant) Dutch monarchy. Since 1862. Since the devolving of R.L. Allen publishers in Edinburgh they also now publish premium Bibles for the Church of Scotland and Church of Ireland. They do good work. Schuyler Bibles utilises them a lot.
Billy Bates Jr Local Church Bible Publishers does a paragraph Bible in Calfskin, handsized or a bit larger, for under $100, more like $65 or $70 if I remember right. I think I. Ironed calfskin, pretty soft and supple. Good luck!
When one searches K.V.J., R.S.V., E.S.V., and other versions that, in fullest form, include the Apocrypha, that axes out most non-Apocrypha-conforming editions..
Brother Matt one major problem with your post . We are Christian not Catholic we believe in the God head not the wicked demonic Trinity of the Catholic church so please study the scriptures .by going to a Trinitarian organisation you are supporting a system that teaches a false gospel and adds to the written word of God I hope that you adhere to wise counsel on this matter and when I say wise counsel I mean the wisdom of God not wisdom of man , may the guide you my brother in Christ Jesus.
I’m sorry to say I don’t agree with you that the King James version Bible being the only version that can communicate gods word effectively to you. We don’t speak that way any more so I cannot see how it would be more clear to common man in English if KJB is spoken. There is no group to reference to an English version being better either. I believe it is purely passed down opinion. it is widespread, unhelpful and it is strange, almost mystical. I am aware of omissions and additions in other versions which make them slightly different to King James ( some are erroneous!) but that does not alter the fact that King James could have slight translational issues as well. Just because the King James version was first doesn’t mean it is the best. How could King James Bible be more accurate in English than the youngs literal translation? Youngs contains no abridgation. For me NRSV is good. My favourite, But I read many versions inc KJB. Another problem with King James Bible adherence is what about all the other many languages in the world? How are they meant to get a good accurate representation of the word of God? It is a silly, preposterous proposal! God ‘favouring English speaking KJB readers ‘ God is a respecter of NO persons. Truly fair. The Bible was written by the spirit of God to be read by the most uneducated people on earth all the way up to the most intelligent. It speaks to all. The King James language can be a hindrance to less educated people and may foster pride in others. The Bible says that if you do not have the holy spirit living inside you, you are not saved (ROM 8) AND that you will not understand what is written. That’s what’s important and relevant. All the heathen and pagans on UA-cam who do not have the spirit are still arguing about hell etc and gods word! no wonder they think it’s crazy.
Put your faith and trust in the atoneing blood of JESUS CHRIST because He paid your sin debt for you. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Make it a decision from your heart!

I have both the Windsor and Westminster reference bibles. They are both fantastic. The cream paper by Jongbloed is superb.

I have the Cambridge Emerald text Bible. I bought it about 15 years ago. Its in the old style box. I payed $40 for it back then. I thought it was a steal so I got it.
what is the measurement of the bible?
Another great review Matt...
I love the Emerald for just plain reading with no references like my Concords. Keep it up...
The price for the holman on amazon is $2,243.55
Can I get any of these in red or some shade of maroon? I love red Bibles.
Thank you for your review. I just received the TBS Windsor text Bible and wow! I purchased it for $50 from the KJV store. It just may be the perfect Bible for me. Keep up the good work.😊
Local church is my favorite I have one and use it for church and daily devotions.
evangelicalbible also sells TBS Bibles and have great customer service.
Steve Briner -- Thanks for info Steve! Great Customer service + a great product + a great price= **TRIPLE BLESSING!!!**
Hey Matthew, fantastic review video. Love who you targeted it to. Very thoughtful of you. Grace and Peace Brother.
Is the Cambridge here much larger print than the TBS bible?
you are amazing. thanks. I do not have to spend 100's to get these. thanks.
The Windsor is the best daily use text Bible I have owned. The only negative is that it does not contain the Deuterocanonical books.
Although I have converted to Catholicism I still love the King James and use it more often than not.
So you work to maintain your salvation now?
@@freegraceauEven though I lean more to orthodox Christianity than Catholicism, faith without works is dead.
For me, an essential in an A.V. Bible is the presence of the Apocrypha, which is part of the A.V. Bible. Having the ORIGINAL alternative readings and references (which the 1611 translators provided from among themselves) is another "must".

Hi. Pastor Matthew. Great video. I love it.
Amazing! A question: does it travel to Brazil?
I love to have one of this, only could not afford.
The last Bible is over $70 now.

I have a Holman Christian standard Bible with that same type of cow hide on it and it is a joy to hold
I bought mine from Nelson Publisher?
I had a Holman with that font, and I didn't like it either. I do love that brown cowhide, though. I have a different Holman large print than that one with the same cover. It is nice.

Church Bible Publishers has a few amazing Bibles that are just text! Check em out
Needs an update with CBP. They make amazing bibles for like $60-80
What a great idea for a video !
KJV’s at Dollar Tree for 1$ its great!
Benni B its full size I’d say, just the text is smaller due to less pages, great buy though!
Totally agree brother that font is ugly especially the book titles, pretty cover and paper but the print is great if you're a robot😅
could you post the ISBN for each?
They are right there on the Amazon link. Scroll down a tad. :-)
What is the font called?
Good paper to me is when you have a Bible that you cant see the writing on the next page when you are reading. I don't care for how thin the pages are in some Bible's.
I got a holman and and a gideon kjv and one from armed service ministry plus my arabic van dyck biblé
Great review. Pastor Matt!
Church Bible Publishers does the best KJV bibles at the best prices.
Schuyler Canterbury Bibles are the best. same text block and all their other size Bibles
The third link is gone

KJV only! Which kjv bible has the reference scriptures in it?
Gonna go with you on the Holman... Helvetica as the main font for a Bible (and a KJV at that)? Yuck. Needs more serifs.
Does the Emerald Bible has self-pronouncing text?
No it doesn't. Neither does the Windsor.
The KJV is the word of God. AMEN HALLELUJAH GLORY TO GOD SELAH
I LOVE MY HOLMAN VERY LARGE PRINT I CAN KEEP UP NOW I HAVE POUR VISION BUT GOD HAS FIXED IT SO I CAN READ A LONG WITH THE PASTOR NOW
The link for the Holman bible now lists the cheapest option as 900$+ wow, what a steep increase.
Awesome Video!
are they not all the same words.
Thank you! I was so disappointed with the font in the Holman- it's not what I like at all. Which is disappointing because it's a nice Bible. The King James is God's Holy Word!!
Young blood is the same that schyler used
$970 plus shipping for the Holmans?!?! Someone's going to hell here....
lolllll
more like hellman ;p
@@superjuddy Mayonnaise??
You don't determine who goes to hell or not on god does that
That's insane!
Who are "young blood in the Netherlands" ?
It is Jongbloed, or more accurately, Royal Jongbloed. They are independent printers and publishers for the Dutch Reformed Church in the Netherlands and also for the (Protestant) Dutch monarchy.

Jongbloed is a company based in the Netherlands that does the paper.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and resurrected on the third day according to the scriptures. Jesus Christ is coming back soon!
I just clicked on the Amazon link for the Holman Bible. $975. Not entry level.
Looking for Kjv Paragraph Bible?
Billy Bates Jr Local Church Bible Publishers does a paragraph Bible in Calfskin, handsized or a bit larger, for under $100, more like $65 or $70 if I remember right. I think I. Ironed calfskin, pretty soft and supple. Good luck!
the amazon Holman link takes you to a $200 bible.
There's no way the Holman cost $975. ???
I just bought a $10 Family Dollar Bible. 😆
That’s awesome! For me, I don’t think it really matters if your Bible is premium or not as long as you read it. That’s fine.
Please 🙏 I need some copy Please....King James version 🙏...Felix Jim PAPUA NEW GUINEA 🇵🇬.
