I now own more than 100 Bibles, including many premium Bibles published by Cambridge, Schulyer, Allan, and Crossway. The Cambridge ESV Clarion Reference Edition is hands down my favorite Bible. Simply, it feels great in my hands.
Ok 100 bibles and the Clarion is your fav of them all? That's quite the claim. Why is this your fav? ... I'm asking 3 yrs later
@@destinycoach5 This young man will not be giving his Bibles anytime soon. I think you need to get your collection. I suggest you get a good collection of RL Allan Bibles ESV and NASB. July 2024 USA
The Clarion in general is one of my favorite Bible formats! I enjoy the small yet chunky footprint
Small and chunky, for the win!
My wife has the ESV Clarion goatskin but with the 2016 ESV text that Cambridge published in 2017. Not knowing any better, I ordered the ESV Clarion calf split for myself, thinking the inside of the Bible would be the same. But alas, my Clarion arrived the other day and it’s the 2011 text. Big differences in paper quality, darkness of the typeface (much blacker in the 2016 than the 2011), and line matching (again, superior in the 2016). In fact, I’ve found the 2011 Clarion calf split to be really hard to read because the ink is isn’t dark enough and the line matching seems to be off every other page or so. The publication page on my wife’s goatskin says the paper is from France; no such information is given in my older calf split.
A two-Clarion family... I like it!
I absolutely dislike the super dark print. I find people who don’t have vision problems to make me feel like I’m constantly zoning in and out. It’s harder to see with bright white paper too. I love the lighter print!
I believe they should create 2 types of fonts for 2 different types of people
I’ve only just caught up with this video and am pleased to see this review. I’ve got this exact Bible and love it. The format is beautiful and as you say Tim, it’s easy to read and hold. Black letter text too! 😊. It’s also easy to put into one’s handbag and therefore easy to carry. Rarin’ to go indeed! Many thanks. 😊🙏 PS. You’ve just given it a nickname - The Little Brick 😂🤣
The Little Brick!
@@timwildsmith A worthy challenger to “The Judge”. I think that’s what they call an NASB of some kind.
I’d love to see you review some Paul’s Leather Co Bibles!
Nice! I’ll look into it!
I 2nd that. Pauls leather Co makes a super unique bible because of the raw leather. unlike anything I've seen in the rebinding world.
I third that!!
I have two Clarions. I bought an ESV, and then I decided that I didn't enjoy that translation so I bought one in NIV. I love holding and randomly flipping through it.
Nice!
I am really surprised you prefer the NIV over ESV.
If Christ's words were in red, this would be the perfect Bible. I'll stick with the Pitt Minion for now
Which crossway is like this that you are referring to? I can't stand the cross legacy heirloom. I hate how they put the headings on the side...for me it's just harder to read that the clarion.
Pretty sure I was referencing the ESV Single Column Personal Size Bible.
@@timwildsmith Thanks brother
this is my next Bible on my list to get
Nice!
Hey Tim do you prefer Cambridge clarion or a Schuyler PSQ more? Are they so close one might wrestle over which of these are more preferable?
PSQ is double column and lacks a concordance, font might be slightly smaller
Is this red letter? And does it have an introduction?
Not red letter, and no book introductions.
How does the quality of this Bible compare with the Pitt Minion? - I know this is controversial but I’m not over impressed with the quality of my Pitt Minion😮
It's quite nice... edge-lined versus paste down on the Pitt Minion, so the cover had quite a bit more flexibility to it.
I’m trying so hard to find a bible with the dimensions of the Clarion and it’s small, chunky awesomeness but with double column format
The Schuyler Personal Size Quentel is in that ballpark!
@@timwildsmith I’d always said the PSQ would be THE winner if only it was black letter :(
ok mr wildsmith, I'm on the hunt for my first premium and I'm completely divided between 3 models. This one, the esv treveris and the esv legacy chinese edition. Obviously the chinese edition is more affordable, but I love the compact factor of the cambridge. The price is something else though. Treveris is a beautiful text-block, the legacy block looks pretty big though. What would your recommend?
My favorite design of those three is probably the Legacy... but the Clarion would be a close second.
@@timwildsmith I just got the legacy in trutone, if I like it I think I will get it in premium.
I had the same Bible but my little daughter claimed it from me because it was little. How could I refuse her? If you think it’s floppy now-wait till it breaks in a bit. It gets real soft and floppy!
She's a smart young lady!
Tim Wildsmith now she has to learn how to read!
How well does that synthetic leather hold up?
Really great on the ones I’ve had.
Is it 2016 edition text?
No, the version in this review is the 2011 text edition. 2:58
However the 2017 printing of the Cambridge Bibles ESV Clarion Reference Edition that I purchased several months ago is the 2016 ESV text edition.
I wish the PSQ was single column too.
