Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.
All in ESV
The ESV Heirloom Legacy from Crossway is one of my favorite ESV Bibles. The design is beautiful and really allows you to immerse yourself in the text. It is also one of the few Crossway Bibles that you can still get your hands on that was printed in the Netherlands. In the next couple of months, the new Heirloom Legacy that’s being printed in China will be released and this one will become unavailable. So if this Bible peaks your interest, act quickly.
Crossway’s new Creeds and Confessions Bible in goatskin has been controversial among the premium Bible community. Crossway has recently made the shift to printing it’s premium Bibles in China and there has been several providing negative feedback. In my review today, I hope to provide a fair and balanced opinion with this conclusion—this Bible is much better than the feedback and criticism it is receiving from many online, but it is also not as good as Crossway’s previous premiums printed in the Netherlands. With that said, let’s talk about the Bible.
It takes a lot for a Bible to blow me away these days. I’ve been privileged to get to check out many of the nicest Bibles out there. I really thought I had just about seen and experienced it all. When I first heard about Cambridge’s new Bible, I figured it would be much of the same things I had seen and experienced. All of that changed when I finally received a copy to review. The Topaz blew me away. It set the bar higher for what a premium Bible should be. I was honestly pretty shocked. What makes the Topaz so great? Let’s talk about it.
Cambridge is a name that you should know when it comes to Bibles. They produce some of the finest Bibles in the world and have been doing so since 1591. Cambridge is the largest high quality Bible publisher and they publish in many translations. They also publish in a wide range of styles in several different materials…
Schuyler (pronounced Skyler) puts out a lot of incredible Bibles. Schuyler may be best known for their Quentel Bible, but the thing that sets them apart from most of the Bibles I review is that Schuyler is not locked in to one specific translation.
The original ESV Omega was my first introduction to premium Bibles. It was given to me as an incredibly nice and generous gift. When I held it in my hands I couldn't believe the caliber. I had never seen or held a premium Bible before and I began to understand the hype and the cost. The quality is considerably different from even forty or fifty dollar Bibles. They're called premium for a reason.
