Best Bible: ESV Preaching Bible vs ESV Pastor's Bible

What is the best Bible for preaching?
I've done a lot of research on all of the top preaching Bibles available, and settled on my top two new favorites. This is how they compare, and what each one does best.

Man I love the feel of a new Bible. I get joy just from watching the smile on your face as you hold them and describe them. Love you pastor/ brother in Christ

[@regcampbell4496]

ESV not a Holy Bible, it is not what they look like it is what's in side. Perhaps he should read it ?

[@angelvelez463]

I love the ESV. My friend gave me his ESV leather study bible because he didnt like the translation and didnt use it much. Ever since that day I have been strictly ESV and it has become my favorite translation. My first bible wad NIV when I became a believer 😊

[@sandygrogg1203]

Great review.. my fav is the NKJV, but, the ESV Is a close second. I have one Premium Bible... A Nelson Large Print NKJV, Thinline, in blue goatskin.. I never get tired of holding it... it feels wonderful, and looks awesome.

[@rpricci1]

This is the way ALL bibles should be reviewed. Excellent job...

[@AFrischPerspective]

Awesome job! I use the NKJV a lot and like the CSB as well for a more dynamic translation. Crossway makes some wonderful Bibles, and I think that Preaching Bible looks really spiffy (also nice that it doubles as a pillow 😁). Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@ProPreacher]

Thank you! I've been looking into the CSB more and more, and I'm liking it as well. And yes, my sleep has dramatically improved. haha

[@michaelmorse1945]

@@ProPreacher CSB has an awesome Pastor's Bible - also a Disciple Study Bible -- I made the switch to preaching from CSB last year and I havent had much trouble since Logos has all the language works for the CSB now -- Switched from NKJV which I grew up with.

[@PastorPeewee20]

Great job Sir 👏 👍 God bless

[@mike245401]

The Nirv is a good one to break down hard to understand passages. I use it along with my KJV if i don't have the one with my strong's concordance with me.

[@PG22_Hello]

I carry the ESV UltraThinline in Genuine Bonded Leather. It's got a ribbed binding! I love it! Sadly they quit making it :(

[@sheenafrederick6683]

Seems like they quit making all the decent bibles.

[@dw5523]

I used to argue for one translation vs another until I read "The Man with the Noisy Heart". It's the story of John Beekman, a Wycliff Bible translator that fixed the problem of word for word translation. It's a great book, and really eye opening regarding the relationship between God's word, language, and cultural context.

[@evangelistmatthew783]

Which bible lays flat better??

[@drivenforchrist77]

Dude, you missed the thinline which I'm pretty sure is almost every ESV pastors go to. Like I would the 30 dollar truetone thinline over both of those and or heirloom legacy anyday. Just giving some insight. Good video man.

[@gordonray]

I have the Legacy and the Omega. I much prefer the Omega over the Legacy for 2 reasons: larger print and double column. I'm not opposed to single column, but I prefer one verse per line. I find it easier to lose my place with a wide column.

[@drivenforchrist77]

@@gordonray that's basically what I was saying. That i would choose the thinline over my legacy to preach from. And I do. I have thought about an omega because the font is a little bigger.

[@jbjamesphoenix2473]

I'm 16 years old and I only have the n i v Bible the New Living Testament Bible and King James verse Bible in the new King James Bible man I love all of my other Bibles I read a lot when I be 17 years old I hope that's when I can start working and I am praying every single day for this covenants in the end who knows I don't know what's going to happen next year but only God knows that

[@jbjamesphoenix2473]

It doesn't matter I really want to read the whole attire translating

[@gordonray]

I wish I could get an ESV that is similar to the MacArthur Preaching Bible (NASB). It's one verse per line and amazing. Unfortunately, I prefer to teach from the ESV, so I'm conflicted. I did my first sermon soon and I want to use my MacArthur, but it's not ESV. 😥 Thanks for the review!

[@ProPreacher]

I hear you on that. The layout of the MacArthur looks great. I’d love to see a similar ESV version too

[@timcocis3072]

That handy Preacher JM is amazing. But i already have good NASB’s. however I’m moving to the ESV. But when JM makes the legacy into the handy preacher Ill be getting that for sure as a good study tool bible. And yes hopefully one day Crossway will recognise the awesome layout of the preachers bible And we’ll get an ESV line and verse bible

[@DS-xp4jb]

I've never agreed with the idea of only using the Greek or Hebrew. Aramaic Translation is never mentioned.

[@MsDenver2]

Well I’m not surprised your Bibles get mashed up if you are throwing it in to your car or bag

[@shally89]

Hebrew and Greek only bra! Just trolling. I love ESV, CJB, NLT. I read ESV majorly of the time.

[@giraffewhiskers2045]

I haven’t read the cjb but you mentioned the same one twice, also I like niv

[@DS-xp4jb]

Everyone thinks the KJV is the "first" Bible. The KJV states that it is based on the Wycliffe Translation. But I bet none of you know or understand that.

[@MsDenver2]

Why do you have to throw or toss it in the car if Gods word precious why can’t you place gently , yes the Bible may be strong and well made but surely all the more reason to treat it with respect. Or do you throw them because they’ve been given you?

[@rogerloydmccoy]

Paper is too thin for a +$200 bible

[@jimmyarmijo792]

My pastor told our church in the early 80s, the KJV was blessed by God. You know what? You can read all you want, you can go to bible college all you want. You can study all you want. God meant for his word to be preached and taught! A educated man in the Book of Acts reading Isaiah. The Holy Ghost told Philip to join the chariot and as he did, the eunuch was reading out loud Isaiah. THE preacher asked him Understandest what though readests? The eunuch said How can I ? Except some man should guide me... Gee, how many apostles went to synagogue to study God's word? Paul called all his education dung, so he could win Christ. My pastor, who was gifted, only used one bible to teach and preach. Let me tell you all something; the KJV is being fazed out. When I got saved in 1978, bible stores sold majority KJV bibles. A couple of years ago, I went to a bible store, the KJV was in the minority. Why go to bible college for? If you called to be a pastor, YOU GOT to be called. Who God calls he qualifies. Like Aaron, Paul said No man taketh this honour unto himself, but he THAT WAS CALLED OF GOD, AS WAS AARON. Oh well like Solomon said; To the writing of books, there is no end... God blessed us to speak English, why we need Hebrew, Greek and Latin as a second language? smh. PS, I have heard of the dead raised, seen demons cast out, the sick healed of which down through the years, experienced, sinners saved in water baptism in Jesus name. Filled with the Holy Ghost. You don't learn all this in bible college. Prophesy, discernment of spirits. The gifts of the spirit.

[@evangelistmatthew783]

what is your point?

[@ChathuraImbulagoda]

Bible collage sounds like a place where you go to loose faith in God and put mans worldly wisdom on a pedastal

[@UltraX34]

literally not. I think if you CAN, a minister should go to seminary or bible college. Why? Well, think about it: would you allow a doctor to operate on you that didn't go to medical school? Of COURSE not! Self-appointed doctors are as useful as self-appointed preachers. When someone has been grounded in the biblical texts and especially in good scholarship and the hebrew and Greek, they can learn to appropriately apply the word to people!

[@ChathuraImbulagoda]

@@UltraX34 the word is spiritually discerned. Scholarship only adds to the honest reader. But if you don't trust God has preserved his word and put trust in man's wisdom then you will miss what God is trying to show you which is the case so often because people refuse to read from the KJV. Show me a dispensationalist who does not use the KJV...

[@UltraX34]

@@ChathuraImbulagoda I say this with all respect for you as a brother in Christ. This is where we start. The KJV is so provably not the best translation, not even top 5. And dispensationalism is a theological system that was foreign to Christianity until the 19th century 😂. Christianity looked more like Lutheranism or Anglicanism in its most ancient forms, not Baptist dispensationalism. Scholarship helps us know what the Bible actually means. For instance, when the Bible says "baptism saves", what do you think that means? Cause if it's not what the early Christians believed for the first 1600 years, then you're probably wrong. That's the reason scholarship matters, so that we know what the Bible meant in its original context where it arose. Dividing the Bible into dispensations makes no sense if the Bible divides itself into covenants (Abrahamic, Davidic, New).

[@ChathuraImbulagoda]

@@UltraX34 Lol! 🤣 Ok 👍

[@chris2fur401]

[@shanedarden5238]

I never read the Bible all the way through till I got an easier reading translation. It's also a fact that the Nasb is the most accurate translation with the ESV coming in a close second
