the red lettering in my Holman's is nicer than Nelson's red lettering as well.. I do not know why after about 200 years of publishing Nelson struggles with red coloring and spacing also.. many times their red lettered sentences run right up against the black or they are spaced too much... My red lettering in my Holman's is about the color and density .. of most Catholic red letter bibles.. a vibrant red..
Thanks for the review, Zack. And I like your new intro! The red in my ancient faith study bible is the bomb, they nailed it. But I've seen that infamous orange text you mentioned.
My copy of Holman's Study bible is from 2012...in genuine leather and it may contain the same features as yours but mine is totally different as to how the intro pages are presented...for instance mine has the references in the center between the columns of text.. the also my study notes are in a 2 column format.. same as the bible text...also some of the essays are different for instance mine shows the last essay as .. SALVATION IN THE OLD TESTAMENT --- HEBREWS 11... by Paige Patterson page 2068 mine is NOT lined matched..
I have the old one but mine is in like leather soft. I like the Bible but where different contributors where made to different books I have found in this Bible strong verses that endorse Calvinism and then another book seems to be a little more Arminian in it's teaching. I guess where you have different contributors to different books it kindly puts a mixture of beliefs in it but all in all I like the study bible. This new edition looks nice great review as well!
The quality of these Bibles is far below the price point. I bought one about six months ago, it cost me over $160 and I had to repair it the minute I got it out of the box. I called the co. I bought it from and they basically told me I had to deal with Holman about it so I just took it as a loss. The first thing I had to do was glue the front page together and the edges down as they weren't glued at all. After that, I had to glue the pages where they are supposed to be bound back on in three places. I also found several pages cut wrong as the pages had folds in them when the final cut was made so I had to fold those sections back out and try to cut the corners properly with a pair of scissors. 10/10 never buying another Holman Bible ever again.
I had the old version. I loved it soo much that I got all the three sizes 😂. The normal one and the large print and the personal size unfortunately due to its unavailability i gave off two of those smaller ones to my younger brothers. The old one had a premium cowhide editin as well. That was amazing.
I wish the bibles I ordered on line would come to me with the gilding in such great shape... most of the time mine come with scratches or discoloration on them... I think they ship me their rejects....
the complimentarian and equalitarian stance.. is One reason why I felt these notes a little on the liberal side.. there are tinges... of several other issues.. as well where I feel that Holman did NOT take a fully conservative stand... I also do Not care for the Nelson's NKJV study bible edited by Farstad for this same reason.. remembefr what the serpent asked Eve .."Yea hath God said?"...
I know exactly what happened with your opening pages... the reason the block is a little off... is because.. they accidentally gave you two inside blocks on that bible.. one must have slipped in unnoticed or when the machine was supposed to shoot 1 through before the bible was bound it shot two blocks through.. hence this is why that one block seems off... the machine was not set up to put two blocks on one bible... My guess is that you will NEVER find another bible messed up like that... unless the machine was totally set wrong due to .....as you said....... people being trained.. but the extra block explains why the cover is slightly off... that bible is NOT supposed to have two block pages..... NO bible does..
I have a Rock of Ages bible as well... but mine only came with ONE ribbon marker in Genuine leather...so I would not be touting this as a standard feature on Rock of Ages bibles.. unless you actually find other copies with 4 ribbons...
@@Imsaved777 I think mine is that way.. because I bought my Rock of Ages bible before it became a "cool".. bible to own... when I found mine close to 30 years ago.. it was buried on a shelf between a bunch of other bibles... it's like no one wanted to talk about it... I had never heard of a "Plymouth".. bible.. let alone this one... when I got it home.. I leafed thru it... but compared to my OTHER study bibles.. this one was Lacking in notes... so it sat on my bible shelf buried behind a bunch of my bibles for close to 30 years.. until I started seeing these videos.. and I said to myself. ."Hey, I think I have that bible".. I am sure I didn't pay much more than 60.00 for mine.. as the Christian bookstore.. was more than happy just to unload it... I really love that goatskin look with the 4 markers.. and the fancy gold printing.. and hubs.. but is it worth me forking out close to 200.00 more for the exact same bible.. which I barely look at?.. Hmmm probably not.. but it does look tempting... maybe I will find one floating around on ebay like that high dollar one for 60.00 If so... I would not mind buying it even if it had someone else's name written in it...
@@BibleFanatics Thanks for replying. Yes, it does seem to be a favorite. I was tempted by the Ryrie but the TN seems so packed with shiny things and info.
I am a Baptist... but I found Holman's to be a little too liberal in it's study notes... compared to the Nelson's KJV study bible edited by Jerry Falwell...I do Not use my Holman's very much for that reason...
@@KillerofGods I will have to go back into their study notes.... By "liberal"... I don't necessarily mean they are wrong... but..... by "liberal".. I was referring to them being broader in their scope.. or more generally speaking.... in their doctrinal teachings. .I will have to pull out the Holman's once again... but I believe what I was trying to convey... is that (as many bible reviewers on the web have stated regarding certain bibles... especially.. Frisch)....that the contributors.. seemed to "ride the fence" in their doctrinal notes..in order Not to be offensive to some.. and when someone .. holds back their theology.. in order to sell more bibles I consider that "liberal".. Not necessarily heretical.. but. ."playing it safe".. by printing the same info that other study bibles have used before them.... as I said... give me a little time and I will share some points with you...
@@KillerofGods one thing I can share .. even just from watching this video...if you listen to the video around the 10:18... minute mark... even the reviewer says... being that there is an article written in the bible called "in praise of a classic... (referring to the KJV)... the reviewer...did not find much praise for the KJV in the article written meant to praise the KJV...that is a first sign something is amiss.. with the notes.. IMO .. . it is very easy to tell when notes are written in certain bible translations by authors who do not Use that translation as their go to translation........one gets the feeling that they aren't "all in"... or committed to the work at hand..... another thing to look at critically are study bibles that ONLY re-iterate what the bible text states... without explaining it in too much detail... for example....if the text reads "flowed like crimson"..... and you look at the note .. and the note says... "crimson is a shade of red"... did that help you understand the passage?..
@@KillerofGods looking down on this page I see that I wrote.. regarding the Homan's stance on the complementarian and equalitarian stance... you understand the difference in these views... correct...? the complementarian view is that God created woman to be his helpmeet... to compliment man.. but Man was given authority in places such as households and family...with the woman.. there to help... NOW in this day and age.. woman want to be equal to man.. they wish to compete with man.. not be his helpmeet but to be equal and independent from man.. in their desires.. and fancies. THIS equalitarian view.. is a liberal view of the man /woman/ family dynamic... and THAT is how the Holman views marriages to be...but they do Not come flat out and say this... it can be found in what they say or do Not say...throughout their notes... I would have to find the exact places and share with you what would be deemed as a questionable stance.. though....
@@jeffcarlson3269 You don't have to go to the exact places, knowing how/what message they are trying to convey/support is enough. Yeah to me at least, I think it's pretty clear, a complementary view is the original biblical point of view. I can see how you'd say it's liberal or at least towing a line, I'm starting to understand now.
@@Jodie_M I do have a review on both of them. The nelson is older than this review but is still on my video list. Peronsally I liked the leather on the nelson better and the paper better. However I loved the size and feel on the holman. I also liked its layout a little better.
@@Jodie_M They are BOTH excellent bibles. I already have the Nelson Full-Color and I like it VERY much. It's beautifully and aesthetically designed, well-illustrated with excellent color photos and drawings of archeology and locales, and it has a pleasant odor that I wish all books had. It's a little more "devotionally" oriented than the Holman. Its introductions are not quite as long or detailed and the study notes are briefer, but quite enough to serve its purpose. It has a number of good helps of various types, some of which are not common in study bibles. Its concordance is keyed to Strong's numbers! I like its leather and its paper is the best that I have seen in any bible. It's a real labor of love. But I am liking this Holman version very much as well, and I think I will get a copy thanks to this man's excellent review. Love the KJV!
Great in depth bible review i think I'm going with this one over the Thomas Nelson
Glad they could help!

You hold the camera at an angle instead of perpendicular facing the text.
Does that Bible have the preludes to the Psalms cuz they took them out in the large print Bible
I found mines at Ollie’s I love it
I bet you got a good deal! Ollie's is awesome!
@@BibleFanatics it was $30 bucks. I am definitely going to allow this to hold me accountable to read the word.
Love the KJV ... Great video.
I'm a KJV guy myself. With that in mind, which study Bible would you recommend out of the Holman and Thomas Nelson?
Oh that's a tough one. If I don't have to carry it I would pick the Thomas Nelson.
