Unboxing the Illustrated Catholic Bible (it gets CRAZY... stay to the very end)

[@chriscorkern8487]

Thanks for doing Catholic Bibles also! It’s encouraging to see Catholic publishers recognizing the demand for premium Bibles.

[@timwildsmith]

For sure!! Like this one a lot!

[@CatholicZola]

I agree whole-heartedly!

[@dwaynejohnson992]

This arrived and I don’t want to put it down. It is breathtaking. The illustrations convey the devotion of our ancestors. The typeface with the moving “flourishes” at the end of some words inspires meditation and flourishing in our faith. It breathes, drawing the ancient into the now. It is a great resource for lectio divina.

[@timwildsmith]

That a great endorsement, and from The Rock no less!! 😉

Love your comment here! I can feel what you describe. ❤

Just got this is the mail as a gift for my sons Confirmation….almost had a “why shouldn’t we keep it for ourselves” moment.

[@timwildsmith]

No kidding! It’s great!!

[@LaLa_ArtGal]

I completely heard that in Bilbo's voice. 😂

[@CatholicZola]

@@LaLa_ArtGal ME TOOOO 😂 I opened this comment specifically to write, in Bilbo's voice, "After all, why not...? Why shouldn't I keep it?" 😂 high key tho this Bible IS precious 👀

I'm 2 years late but this is a great looking catholic bible. thanks Tim..

[@1974AMDG]

I got so excited when I saw you were reviewing this bible! I pre-ordered it way back at the beginning of July with only the one image of it to go on...hoping I wouldn't be disappointed with it. I've been tracking it and it is due to come in a couple of days. I can't wait! It's so beautiful! Thanks for giving me a chance to see inside it!

[@timwildsmith]

You’re welcome! Lovely all the way around!

[@derekgirldad]

Wow the bonus material was awesome I loved it 🥰

[@LaLa_ArtGal]

Best video ever! "Amazon, we're coming for you!" AND we got to see the khakis. And Becca's studio space! Oh, plus that BIBLE is INCREDIBLE!! NRSV for the win, and wonderful features. Thanks for this. 😁

[@timwildsmith]

Hahaha… thank Lori-Louise! Glad you had fun!

[@scottsbiblereviews9727]

I can personally attest that KZbin video equipment isn't as easy to set up or deal with as viewers think. Things happen, and judging by this video, you can personally attest to! Great job! And glad we got to see your lovely wife. And nice job reviewing that Catholic Bible. And I being Lutheran, thou almost persuadeth me to buy it! lol

[@timwildsmith]

Hahaha… thanks!!

I was able to pick a brand new copy of this same bible up from a seller on E-bay... back last October for a total of 47.88 including shipping and tax..... it arrived within 5 days of ordering.... a very great looking bible....

@@timwildsmith I also have a NASB wide margin single column cross reference bible coming today... that I saw in one of your reviews... It is Not the 2002 "judge"... though... it is from 2013..... I saw several offered... in genuine leather... some even from 1996... but I could Not find one from 2002... can you tell me what about the 2002..."judge".. sets it aside.. or makes it seem slightly superior or sets it a notch above.. other bible years for this particular bible?.. I am curious because I ran into this with the Dake's bible... I have several Dake's bibles...... in genuine leather... but I have Only found One year... 1976 the 9th printing... that seems to have a cover above the quality of any other year.... this bible year's leather just melts in my hands.. and the other years,.. just feel like normal leather... some stiffer than others..

[@dawnbonome9056]

You are hilarious! I would love to see more live unboxing of bibles that you will be getting.

[@timwildsmith]

🤣❤️👍🏼

[@barblothe3366]

The thing about single column text is it makes the Bible thicker. This is one big bible!

[@timwildsmith]

That’s true.

[@philipmelgren4469]

Just re watched this - so funny! Brilliant!

[@timwildsmith]

Hahaha… a wild time!

[@perfectheretic]

Wish we get more illustrated bibles like the medieval latin and greek translations back then.

[@benjamin9901]

I ordered the leather over board version and it should be coming this week :) the Leathersoft version looks great too

[@timwildsmith]

For sure! The quality of each edition looks great!

[@philipmelgren76]

Thanks Tim, I always watch your videos! Just about fell off my chair laughing when Becca appeared! Great stuff mate, keep it up, Blessings from New Zealand.

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks, friend!! 🤣😂

[@RevJacobDavis]

Fantastic video, Tim. You made the absolute best of an awkward situation. Meanwhile, it's great to see HarperCollins continuing to roll out more NRSV editions. It's my go-to version, but we've had meager pickings until the last year or two, especially anything on the premium end. I can't wait to see the editions they roll out for the NRSVue next year.

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks! I, too, hope it’s a good year for new NRSV editions.

[@mybibleco6112]

My favourite review from you yet Tim! Made me have a good laugh and I loved the BTS of the Bible Review Blog studio! When you get a new tripod go for Manfrotto or Benro, can’t go wrong with either for quality tripods.

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks for the tip! I realized afterwards that it was just the quick release that was broken... but we definitely need to look into a better overall tripod.

[@donnawildsmith2232]

Great review with entertainment to boot! Love it!

[@karlschroeder1207]

LOL, you included the BLOOPER reel! About pants...you know....David Letterman's organization is "Worldwide Pants, Inc.", maybe for a reason. ;-) Great review of the Catholic NRSV Bible (I'm a Nazarene, but grew up Catholic and my initial catechism training still plays prominently in my devotional times). NRSV has become one of my favorite translations. And love Becca's artwork, very talented. Congrats on the Belmont gig.

[@timwildsmith]

Thanks so much, Karl! Appreciate your kind words!

@@timwildsmith I had a play on words that went through my mind related to that (esp since I commented before she came in the picture), but wanted to keep things appropriate and figured you knew what I meant.

[@markauman1441]

How is the translation? I've heard bad things about the translation. Or is it different being a catholic version of nrsv

[@timwildsmith]

I’m an NRSV fan in general. I have not compared the two, but I’m sure they are similar.

[@biancafuller5556]

@@timwildsmith As far as I'm aware the catholic edition made no revisions to the NRSV translation, which is why many of us don't mind using an NRSV with apocrypha (it's the exact text, just with some of our books in the apocrypha section)

Well, it was fun :D

The apocrypha is never mixed into a Catholic Bible.
