[@therobinfliesagain22]

Trinitarian Bible Society is awesome! They are a blessed organization. I am a member of the society, and they are well worth supporting, they are amazing translators. Praise God for His hand of providence in sustaining this organization. Great review, I am certainly going to purchase a fee of these for safe keeping. Great review btw.

[@dbrinson1691]

the BEST REVIEW POINT I HAVE HEARD SO FAR IN COMPARING KJV REFERENCE BIBLES IS IN THIS REVIEW...THANK YOU! You pointed out the differences in the THOMPSON CHAIN AND WESTMINSTER REFERENCES... this was what helped me most in deciding WHICH TO PURCHASE. THE point being one stays within a doctrinal point and the other takes you everywhere and anywhere the "word" is used makes a HUGE difference for me...THANK YOU FOR THAT! i WATCHED many other reviews and you are the only one that MADE THIS POINT... and it's VERY IMPORTANT. if I haven't mentioned it already...THANK YOU! LOL

[@proverbs9103]

I was given the regular size one and I put it on my shelf for a long time. Then I finally brought it down and started reading it I wasn't used to the layout I was in the center column. But then I fell in love with the Bible now I have all three the little one and the big one and the regular one great review very good 👍😊

[@eyeonart6865]

I bought this bible in a hard copy. I prefer hardcopy because I never have problem with pages coming out. The publisher keeps the price affordable. Plus you can download a version. I love all the references. I hope they some day add a good concordance to this large print version.

[@bmdakamarkl2938]

A great review of a great Bible. Thank you so much from across the Pond! :)

[@BibleBuyingGuide]

Thanks!

[@eyeonart6865]

I have this Bible and it is a nice bible, no red lettering that distracts. References are straight across. Large bible is great for laying in bed reading. That bible is very inexpensive compared to other Westminster printers. I bought their smaller version that has a concordance, very nice. These are my second favorite. My favorite is Kjv new strong’s reference bible with Concise 749 page concordance.

[@jkdbuck7670]

I have this one. I wish the print was a tad bit bolder. But the layout and references are great. Chapter summaries are great.

[@simplechristianaccordion7226]

I've been using the Westminster Reference Bible from TBS for about two weeks and although I do not have the large print version, it's just amazing. Highly recommended!

[@eyeonart6865]

I bought the hardbound one. I use a micron pen 01-05 plus colored pencils. They do not bleed. I make my own bible covers that hold my pens and pencils.

[@AmericanShia786]

Thank you for comparing all those Bibles with the Westminster Reference Bible. I'm planning to buy myself another Bible for Christmas. The Westminster Reference Bible looks like it would be great for study. I would use it along with my KJV Thompson-Chain Reference Bible, so I would not need the concordance. But, there as so many good Bibles to choose from, and I will only get one good one. So, I'll just keep watching your videos and pray until I make up my mind.

[@BibleBuyingGuide]

Thanks!!

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

I hope TBS ends up producing a wide margin edition of this wonderful Bible. I wrote them to express my interest. To me it is the best KJV I've ever used.

[@BibleBuyingGuide]

I'd love to have this in wide margin.

[@dimitardimitrov5366]

Great presentation, as always!

[@edwardlweirs]

The page format kinda reminds me of the Thompson Chain Reference Bible. Looks GREAT!!!

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

I love that they retained pagination between the compact, standard, and large print. The standard is perfect for me, it's good to have choice though.

[@TheDustin49]

Definitely a great Bible from TBS, although I really wish they had included a concordance in that Bible. Concordances are great to have in a Bible, because sometimes you know what a verse says, but you just can't remember exactly where it's at.

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

Dustin Granger the standard Westminster has an excellent concordance. I guess they left it out of the large print to keep size and cost down.

[@TheDustin49]

@@RoastBeefSandwich That may be true seeing that TBS(Trinitarian Bible Society) has to compete with LCBP(Local Church Bible Publishers) and CBP(Church Bible Publishers). Both CBP and LCBP make super-high quality Bibles at reasonable prices which are hard to beat.

[@RoastBeefSandwich]

@@TheDustin49 Those sell their Bibles at the cost of manufacture. TBS presumably has some margin in the price to fund their mission work of translating the Bible in languages without a Bible. I think TBS on the whole has better quality Bibles than them, though not necessarily better covers. The CBP and LCBP Bibles I've seen the printing looks like it was done by a Xerox, okay maybe better than a Xerox but not as good as TBS's or other publisher's printings.

[@red58impala]

Good review Randy! Looks like a nice Bible and it is on my list of one to buy. The conversions at 12:02 are a bit off when converting from Imperial to metric. The ones I checked on the left side of the screen seem correct, but the ones on the right are not. I would still buy one, but I'm not sure if the Imperial or Metric amounts are the correct ones. They don't agree with each other when converted from liters to pints or pints to liters.

[@BibleBuyingGuide]

I'm giving the overall size including the cover. The publishers only give the size of the text block. That could be the difference.

[@shuttergirlUK]

That's a beautiful text and layout! If only all translations offered something like that!

[@eclipsesonic]

I love this Bible. Having over 200,000 cross references is a major plus for me, as it gets you digging into parallel passages or similar texts and further realising just how the Bible all correlates together. If the large print had the translators to the readers and the concordance like the regular size does, it would have been the perfect KJV cross-referencing Bible, but it's not a huge loss by any means.

[@dtcowlick]

The only thing I have found which larger and heavier, among normal large prints (not "pulpit bibles" or the like) is "The Enlarged Type Edition" of "The Companion Bible" ( edited by E.W.Bullinger ) published by Kregel of Grand Rapids. Size of about 11.25" x 8.5" x 1.75". Not having a scale, I would guess the weight at 5 pounds or better.

[@Tanz-og6yh]

Great and thorough review. Infact the most in depth informative review. I happen to already love and enjoy the bible thats the said topic. But still wanted to watch. Great job especially showing up against so many bibke for everyone who doesn't know it, re content, font and over size plus quality re leather and stuff. In short I'd recommend this Bible to everyone if you're reading this :-) enjoy

The references for study are unbelievable in this Bible. The common man’s reference Bible has some of the same reference philosophy, but this one has so much more many more references. Also you can carry it around people carry the Thompson chain around And this Bible is the same size I measured them up because I have a Thompson chain so if you’re a guy it’s no problem for sure

[@Airik1111bibles]

It looks to be exactly the same size as the CBP Thompson LP in calfskin. I gave mine away so I won't be able to compare the two but, it looks to have thee same footprint. I like these bibles, I also had a genuine leather Thompson lp at one time and I kick myself for swapping that one it was cool. Very interesting that they had to print outside of Jongbloed but, it looks like Printcorp did a great job.

Hmmm this one or the regular?

[@kaylacarpenter1902]

I am looking to purchase my first premium bible, I am trying to decide between the Schuyler KJV and this LP Westminister. What would be the best overall choice since I can only get one?! I want quality to last a lifetime but still use on a daily bases...

[@BibleBuyingGuide]

Hi Kayla. If you're considering the Schuyler version of the Westminster, it will last the longest because of the goatskin cover with edge-lined liner. The text-block is the same as the regular Westminster from TBS, so it has the concordance. You can also get the Schuyler Canterbury in goatskin. It has a large font (about the same as the LP Westminster), but it doesn't have the translator's footnotes and has 55,000 cross-references. If more references and footnotes are your goal, then I'd recommend the Schuyler Westminster. If a larger print is your goal, then I'd recommend the Canterbury in goatskin.

[@kaylacarpenter1902]

Bible Buying Guide I love the references of the Westminister, I have looked for the Schuyler Classic KJV but can't find any that are available, even on evangelical bible..any ideas where I could find one? The intentions of the Bible is to commemorate the birth of our third child so I want it to last forever but at the same time I want to actually use and enjoy the bible so quality and practicality both mean a lot...

I like both. It depends on what I'm doing with it. If the red isn't dark and consistent, then I'd rather not have it. If I'm highlighting, then black-letter is easier because my colors don't' have to work with two different colors of text. Red can be harder on the eyes for long periods of reading. Dark red looks great and I can read it for long reading sessions. It also helps in finding the text quickly when preaching.
