Great review! I do wish that this NASB Large Print Wide Margin Bible used a two color scheme just like the Handy Size Preacher's Bible. But other than that, its a great Bible. I may purchase this after I read through the LSB Large Print Wide Margin one.😎
Another excellent review. Thank you brother. This will be a big upgrade from my Foundation Side Column that I've had for 20 years. I just wish it had translator notes. I'll make my own. LOL. Have you seen the cowhide version? That's what I'm looking at.
They’re having a site-wide sale, so now’s the time to buy one. I have the cowhide paste down LSB-it is very nice. You will have to wait for at least another full year for the Stridon-esque 1995 from Lockman, which may arrive in Q1 of 2024.
Would you choose this over the Passaggio? I love the margins on this because I like to take lots of notes but I also like the layout and the gilding on the Passaggio? Are there any other single-column, wide-margin, VBV Bibles? Thanks for your great reviews!
For preaching, I would choose this Bible every Sunday, but for reading at home, I might prefer the Passaggio. I am not a big fan of the gilding on the Passaggio; it has less of the mirror finish that I prefer. Zondervan has the NASB Journal the Word Bible, but there is no gilding on the page edges.
Thinking about purchasing this to pair with my Original Preacher’s Bible. I would want to use this Wide Margin edition to bring with me to the pulpit and likely pick it up and read while walking around so I’m not standing in one spot the whole time. How do you think that would work with this Bible size-wise? Is it small enough to pick up and preach out of while holding it? Great review!
This Bible is larger in all dimensions than most other Bibles. However, the 40 GSM paper, while it is thick, is not nearly as heavy as the coated 65 GSM paper of the OPB. You should be able to pick it up and hold it without any problems, but it might be kind of awkward if you wave your Bible around in the air.
@@msctshrly I gotcha! That’s what I’ve read/assumed. I’m much more willing to sacrifice a bit on the size for the sake of the wide margins. Makes a world of difference being able to have some notes right next to the Scripture, especially when preaching. I initially bought the OPB for the same reason I’m looking to buy this one, but it was so much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Still fell in love with it as a wonderful in-depth study tool, but something a bit smaller would’ve been ideal. This seems right up that alley. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on a Handy Size Preacher’s Bible, but this wide margin seems like the perfect middle ground. So I may pull the trigger sooner rather than later. Appreciate the reply!
The Lockman Prime series is magnificent, and their 2020 Reference Edition is good even in the cheaper editions. Lockman will be re-typesetting their 1995 lineup, and, if it is produced with as much quality as the Reference Edition, then I will be a very happy man.
I’ve been very hesitant to buy a Schuyler NASB95 due to the 28GSM because I highlight and underline a lot and it’s also a pretty expensive bible just like that one but the Schuyler has everything I need in it for study and reading but especially the references and footnotes.
I don’t have a scale to measure it, but I would say that it’s about study Bible weight. It does not have the glossy coated paper of the original Preacher’s Bible, so it’s not a burden to carry.
@@msctshrly also the preachers bible one is 32 GSM vs 40 GSM on the LPWM the 32 GSM can't be so good to write on with a pigma micron and highlighter like I use but ones more heavy then the other to bring to church or you think both are great for church and writing with the pigma micron regardless?

Great paper... No glare...
Oh, these look amazing. I didnt know about them. Im eyeballing the cowhide one
I love mine!!!!!
The only thing I dislike is no references sadly
I'd like to get it to make my own references
Sometimes I jump to the esv, but I almost instantly come back to nasb.
A heart tossed to and fro. Return to your first love.
@@msctshrly absolutely. Nasb is a great translation.
Very helpful. Thanks brother
I bought the big preachers bible and it is the best in my opinion.
I love the OPB, but this font is larger, while the Bible remains lighter.

Is this the Preachers Bible advertised by John MacArthur before?
It is essentially a reproduction of the original Preacher’s Bible with 40 gsm paper instead of 65 gsm.
@@msctshrly I see. But would there still be the original preacher's bible advertised by John MacArthur before?
Great review. How is the glare on the page?
No glare on that 40 gsm paper!
@@msctshrly Thanks. Glad to hear it doesn't reflect light back at ya.
Exactly.... Had the Preacher's Bible ... Could not deal with the glare!!
I would maybe get this one if it had the full set of translators' footnotes. This one does not seem to have any. It is beautiful, though.
You’re right, none of the Steadfast Preacher’s Bibles-whether in the NASB or the LSB-have either footnotes or cross references.

Do you like the handy size or wide margin better? Looking at getting both to preach from. I’m currently using zondervan preachers Bible
The PBHS is my favorite Bible, but I do really like this one too.
@@msctshrly I’m thinking about buying a handy size to start preaching from. I feel like the zondervan’s font is a little small
@@coreyeason6841
I think the ZPB and the PBHS have the same font size, though the ladder has a larger space between each line.

What do you think of the Lockwood foundation nasb 1995 do they make good bible's?
The Lockman Prime series is magnificent, and their 2020 Reference Edition is good even in the cheaper editions. Lockman will be re-typesetting their 1995 lineup, and, if it is produced with as much quality as the Reference Edition, then I will be a very happy man.
Do you know any other good ones like the Zondervan Nasb95 SCR Bible with references??
Zondervan has a nice Journal the Word edition with references in the gutter.
I’ve been very hesitant to buy a Schuyler NASB95 due to the 28GSM because I highlight and underline a lot and it’s also a pretty expensive bible just like that one but the Schuyler has everything I need in it for study and reading but especially the references and footnotes.

I think the Schuyler NASB Wide Margin is 40 gsm; should handle highlights well.
how heavy is it?
I don’t have a scale to measure it, but I would say that it’s about study Bible weight. It does not have the glossy coated paper of the original Preacher’s Bible, so it’s not a burden to carry.
@@msctshrly ok so would you say it weighs less than the Macarthur study bible premier collection which is heavy?
@@msctshrly also the preachers bible one is 32 GSM vs 40 GSM on the LPWM the 32 GSM can't be so good to write on with a pigma micron and highlighter like I use but ones more heavy then the other to bring to church or you think both are great for church and writing with the pigma micron regardless?
