My Top 5 Favorite Bibles (2024)

[@Mrdeanop2]

I'm not Christian, and for some reason I love watching Bible reviews 😅

[@JJvanDFlan]

Great place to start. Just wait until you read the Word of God! If you need a copy, please comment and I will send one your way ❤

I was a non-Christian for years that LOVED bibles. I just thought it was a super cool book with a lot of collectors options. Nearly 4 years ago, I became a Christian. None the less, I get what you're saying.

So glad for NET recognition! I've routinely found that it handles translating difficult passages in the best way and then gives a great footnote to explain why!

[@DouglasFNP15]

I just ordered a CSB single column rebind, very excited to get this bible before I preach my first ever sermon!

[@timwildsmith]

Awesome!

[@lllthink]

For studying I like ESV in the double columns and for just reading the Humble Lamb History book looks beautiful 😊

[@timwildsmith]

Good choice!

[@cmccafferty8280]

My favorite is the CSB Study Bible (not the Everyday Study Bible.) I keep going back to that one. Cross references, commentaries, color pictures, archaeological finds, maps throughout the text, double column, red letter. Not a journaling Bible, but enough room to jot down notes. It’s big as a boat anchor, but I love it.

[@kevinvodochodsky]

Top 4 for me would be: 1.) ESV Heirloom Heritage 2.) CSB Thinline Two tone 3.) NKJV MACLAREN series Large Print Thinline Reference 4.) CSB Life Counsel Bible

[@timwildsmith]

Nice!

[@patrickhanly7458]

My favorites are: 1. Cambridge Pitt Minion ESV Brown Goatskin 2. Cambridge Pitt Minion NIV Black Goatskin (Hard to get) 3. Olive Tree Bible App 4. Cambridge Wide Margin ESV Black Goatskin 5. Cambridge Pitt Minion KJV Black Goatskin (wish list)

[@Ma.isabelPagulayan-de5zq]

pls send link the best bible so i can order ty

[@FredHenry1850]

My favorite Bible for about 5 years now has been my Schuyler Thinline Quentel in NAS95. I like how large the print is for how thin the Bible is. It is a perfect ratio for me. I don't know if I will ever switch to a different Bible as my "main" Bible. My father recently died and I was given the opportunity to pick what I wanted from his belongings. I picked his KJV Bible that he read all through my childhood and I ALSO received my grandfather's KJV Bible that was in my father's possession. That blew me out of the water. I was so surprised by that! Those Bibles mean the world to me.

[@bruinranger13]

That CSB has really blown me away. I absolutely love mine. I wish it wasn’t printed in China, but their choice to go with 33 gsm paper makes the block beat any current model Schuyler for me. 32 gsm and up only for me from now on, I hate how hard it is to turn the page on 28gsm. The fact that it’s less than half the price of a schuyler is also amazing and so it’s also an incredible value.

[@christianhartmann24]

Glad I found your channel! I’m a Bible collector/geek myself! Would love to purchase these Bibles

[@ladyoftheneedles2451]

My current favorite translations are ESV and CSB. After watching this I am interested in checking out the NET Full Notes Edition. That will be top of my list for next to purchase.

[@pastorgarrettseay]

NKJV Single Column from Nelson is my favorite right now, but after seeing the wide margin from Nelson I may be buying that and getting it rebound! I wish they would bring it back!

[@betweenthepoints2001]

Okay Tim...Love the video and nice to see your preferences... I now have a favorite that I decided to invest in... It is (drum roll) the Schuyler NASB Stridon...It is amazing!

[@timwildsmith]

@@timwildsmith I am saddened that you have decided to use an NIV to be your preaching bible at church... I am sure you have your reasons for liking the NIV... I often use one to compare verses with... but... what are you planning to do.. about the verses that are omitted from the NIV... such as Acts 8:37...and many others... just skip over them and Just Not discuss them or preach about their significance...?,, or what about verses such as.. Matthew 5:22 where the NIV...does Not include the words "without cause"..? or even verses such as Ephesians 1:4-5 where the verse is divided up strangely... 4 For He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love 5 He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will- notice the words "In love"... seem to sit right outside of the verse 4 but come before verse 5... are those words part of verse 4 or verse 5?.. should we understand this to mean... are we blameless in His sight , in love?.. or In love, He predestined us....?

I don't have a top 5 list yet, but because of your channel my little pile of 6 cheaper bibles has turned into a bigger pile, 16, of multiple translations with my now preferred single column text block, still cheaper versions, but when i find my top five they will be off to the rebind shops. Looking forward to reading your book to help me find my FAV-5 :-) Thanks for doing what you do, it's definitely sparked my interest in reading different Bibles.

I recently got the csb single column marbled calfskin in slate grey and I absolutely adore it!

[@umarae27]

I got the Zondervah super giant print nasb95. No eye strain even when it's not being held & it's laying on the table. Comfort at it's finest. Eventually I hope to purchase one like maybe an ESV portable one, which is why i find myself glued to watching all these bible comparison episodes. Great info, much appreciated!

My first time seeing you. Thanks for sharing . My favorite is the ESV student study Bible. Next is the Life application chronological Bible and The King James Spirit-filled Bible.

I have only used the NET online but it definitely would be a good purchase for studying purposes…. I’m actually looking to purchase a Schuyler NIV this year for preaching as well. I still enjoy my ESV Crossway Wide 1 inch Margin Trutone Bible…. Thought about getting it rebound to some high quality leather because it is my favorite go to Bible.

[@ryanburr8419]

What are your favourite large print (10.5-12 pt font) Bibles? I'd especially love recommendations for the ESV and the CSB. Bonus points for single column text and cross-references, but having a good line spacing and layout is the most important to me.

[@timwildsmith]

The Quentels by Schuyler are great. I also really love the CSB VbV by Holman.

[@Ben-kh7wh]

Can you do a top 5 study bibles too please?

[@timwildsmith]

Working on it!

[@chrisj78229]

Following Tim's recommendation, I purchased the Crossway ESV Bible (2024 #1 pick). I was curious and did a bit more research, reading excerpts and educating myself about Crossway's history. I am in full agreement with Tim's review, a lovely effort by Crossway. I am new to the single column format, it is a comfortable read (like a book). I have previously gone for the more expensive options (but no more than $150.00) as a lifetime investment. However, this version delivers and will be the one I carry with me each day in my work bag. The translation notes in the Preface really sold me, for the Translation Oversight Committee's honest and gracious intentions. Thank you Tim, for your always helpful advice.

[@monopolylife]

I own at least 300 bibles including some printed in foreign languages. My two favorite bibles versions are NIV and NLT. I own numerous copies of these versions.

[@philtheo]

The ESV Heritage is my favorite this year! 😊 I love that it's single column since I prefer single column for reading (but I'm fine with double columns for studying). I love that its chapter and verse numbers aren't obtrusive so it can almost be a reader's version or at least a hybrid. I love the beautiful font type and size. I love that the words per line and the spaces between lines make the reading experience feel very comfortable and breathable, not dense and crowded. I love that the paper looks even more opaque than its premium cousin the Heirloom Heritage (I own the Prussian blue Heirloom Heritage). And I love that it's quite affordable relative to its good quality ($35 when I ordered it). It's a wonderful Bible.

[@alisonk3148]

Right now my favorite is a Hosanna Revival large print CSB notetaking Bible . It’s been a great tool for recording my thoughts, as well as insights from the Spirit while I’m reading. I’d like to get one in a different translation for the next time I read through the Bible. The top one on my wishlist is the CSB Reader’s Bible set because the print size and paper quality will be excellent for my aging eyes.

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@capnsalty0200]

My KJV Thompson Chain rebind by Leonard. and I just purchased a NKJV Single column wide margin. I hope to make this my favorite.

[@richardvoogd705]

Honourable mentions on my list would include a recently purchased ESV single column journalling Bible and an NKJV "Reader's" Bible. I also have an as yet seldom used full notes edition of the NET, not to be confused with the older NEB (which i first came aware of in the early 1970s). I also like the CSB.

[@Nlmickel]

Great list! And I entirely sympathize with your affection for the CSB. It's becoming my preferred translation for when I just want to read scripture with the NASB (both '95 and '20) being my translation for study. With that in mind, my favorites right now: 1. Allan R1 Reader '95 - Blown away at how nice it is. Truly stunning. 2. NASB Stridon - My go to for both Church and personal reading 3. CSB Personal Size in Saddle Brown - what I keep at work. 4. Lockman Prime Reference - Honestly, the perfect-sized Bible to me. It's hard to find, and the CSB personal size is the only other one I have seen close to it. Lockman's fonts are the only thing holding me back from rating it higher 5. CSB Handcrafted Single Column, wide margin - just an amazing Bible for desk reading in the morning/evening. P.S. Congratulations for all the attention on the videos. Wish you the very best for your work and really hope that people appreciate the heart with which you are approaching this site, and not just the bibliophile aspects. (I love books - so I have to check myself sometimes to make sure my affection for books isn't getting in the way of my respect for scripture.)

[@missinglink_eth]

My favorite: ESV Heritage Heirloom. The cheap ones are fantastic too. I’ve given multiple of them away. But the heirloom paper is night and day better. If you’re looking for a premium ESV that will last forever, that’s the one.

Tim, have you noticed quality issues with ribbons on Bibles coming from publishers? I’ve bought from Holman, Crossway, and Thomas Nelson in the last year - extremely disappointed in the quality of the ribbons and binding. Often the ribbons are glued in crooked or with an edge folded. I’ve had to return or exchange a handful of Bibles in the last year because the quality was poor out of the box.

[@EllenSmyth]

The Logos Bible app. Does that count? I absolutely adore being able to make extensive notes and connect multiple scriptures together in these notes. That has revolutionized my Bible study like I could never have imagined. I didn't really need all that fancy commentary stuff, though I do use it on occasion. I do absolutely love seeing the original Greek and Hebrew definitions, too, but the simple notes feature is my favorite. And I'm very much a digital girl. I hardly touch my physical Bibles, but of those, I would have to say the ESV Archeology Bible would be my fave. Lots of fantastic pictures that Logos cannot even begin to touch, and the archeology commentary is nice, too, when they aren't calling Israel by the name of God's enemy, that is.

[@joeljohnson9912]

A little over a year ago I bought an ESV legacy in (what is now somewhat uncommon) dark brown goatskin from the facebook groups. I wanted to see if the odd style was for me or not. After a year of use and notetaking in the wide margins I have grown to adore this copy of God's word. I have broke it in like a well-used baseball glove and it is so floppy and beautiful. It constantly draws me to spend time with the Lord in it! Just gotta change out those dinky crossway ribbons!

Ok, I too like the ESV Heritage. I have the Blue Goatskin but the paper tint is a tad too blue. On your recommendation, I purchased the trutone edition because you said the paper was great. Maybe it's just my copy but I found the paper between the books Gen - Job to be very coarse. However, from Psalms forward it is very smooth. I'm not sure if this is a consistent issue or not.

[@3ggshe11s]

I'm not Tim, but I'd like to suggest checking out the St. Joseph Edition Bibles at Catholic Book Publishing Corp.'s website. It's their own New Catholic Bible translation, and they have lots and lots of options to pick from. The higher-end Bibles have all kinds of inserts, including family record sections. They do offer big, clunky Bibles, but also some decent-sized ones. Just poke around and you'll probably find something that fits what you're looking for.

My Subjective Top Five Favorite Bibles: 5. NLT Notemaker's Bible (1996 NLT Text with wide margins and lines at the bottom) 4. NASB MacArthur Study Bible (Second Edition) 3. NET Bible (Full Notes Edition) 2. The Reformation Study Bible ESV 1. NASB Ryrie Study Bible (Blue Bonded Leather 1995 Edition)--not for the study notes, and not for the Dispensational perspective, but simply for the amazing outlines throughout the text. This is the best outlined Bible I have ever owned and it is my favorite. Moody updated the Bible and the text is smaller, the inline (gutter) margins not as wide, and the font has changed (and I don't like it). But the '95 Edition of Ryrie, with the '95 NASB, is my everyday and favorite Bible.

I don't think I'm your target audience, based on most of the comments I'm seeing. But I'll chime in anyway because I enjoy the discussion. If I had to whittle down my ever-growing stack of Bibles, the two I wouldn't want to give up are my 1966 Jerusalem Bible, limited edition with a white hard leather cover; and my Didache Bible (RSV2CE). I like both translations for different reasons. I currently own the Didache Bible in hardback, but one of these days I want to replace it with the leatherbound.

Hmm, top 5... #1 - Schuyler ESV Treveris I bought based on your review, I'm loving the single column format, it arrived at the beginning of this month and I've been challenging myself to read through it chronologically in less that 90 days right now, so far I'm on track. #2 - Cambridge Diadem ESV with Apocrypha (also bought based on your review) #3 - Crossway ESV study Bible in brown leather #4 - Tyndale NLT study Bible 2020 text I think (NLT 1996 was gifted to me years ago and that was the first Bible I really got into, prefer the ESV now, but still like the NLT on occasion and the notes in the study version) #5 - LSB single column, found this buried on a shelf at a Bible store, bought it on a whim, fell in love with single column uncluttered format because of it. Honorable mentions: my thinline crossway ESV 2011 text, which was my first Bible that I've read fully through multiple times, due to your recent video discussing AA leather I've sent that one off for a rebind after years of use. Also recently aquired a Holman CSB ancient faith study Bible, it has a bunch of commentary from early church leaders, it's my first copy of CSB in general and was most interested in it for the commentary, I've scanned through it and like it so far, but haven't read it enough to list in my top 5. I ordered my wife a copy of the Schuyler Stridon ESV based on your review of it, was on pre-order and finally shipped yesterday, I will present it to her tomorrow and hope that it becomes her number 1, a spot currently held by her personal sized ESV study Bible I got for her last year and is the first Bible she has really got into and I think I may have created a monster 😂 and will be adding more to our growing collection...
