@@BishopRobLyons I hope so too. I love the layout, page colour and quotes in it. Pity Holman never translated the Deuterocanon / Apocrypha when they did the CSB. Same with Thomas Nelson and the NKJV. They're both excellent translations.
@@BishopRobLyons Yes, I agree, it's good to see Yahweh used, although I'm not familiar with the HCSB. Some versions of the Jerusalem Bible had it too, but I think it was Benedict XVI that decided it shouldn't be used in Catholic Bibles. I think the LSB has it too.
Thanks for the review. It does appear that the premium version has red under gold on the page gilting. Looks nice. Just curious, are you an Anglican? That’s a neat Prayer Book too!
It's definitely worth the price I paid for it. I would never have paid full price, but after really coming to appreciate the basic model, I had to upgrade while I had the financially reasonable chance. I am not an Anglican (though I have served in an Anglican diocese for a few years about two decades ago). I am an Old Catholic. That said, with three ribbon markers, this bible would be a great companion most of the year to the 1979 BCP... one ribbon per reading in the Daily Office, and the ability to have a brief patristic reflection on each! Of course, the lack of Deuterocanonical Books means some days, well... you're outta luck.
I have the Tan LeatherTouch edition. It's excellent. That BCP you showed is beautiful. Hard to believe it's over 100 years old!
If that BCP could hold up that well, I’m hopeful the Bible will as well.

@@DavidWilson-hd6izI personally preferred the predecessor HCSB, but I’m quite partial to the use of the name Yahweh in my Bible.

Only 66 books? Not many of the ancient fathers wre protestants.
@@dalecaldwell yea, my only real fault… wish I could persuade them to finish up the Bible with an apocrypha translation, but…
