I was really glad to see this review! I have the Palm Forest Teal, beautiful cover! Tyndale has really outdone themselves! I have the previous edition in Olive Tree. The extra content I've noticed so far are the 20 articles of Jews for Jesus and the Jewish Terminology section in the back. It's an amazing Bible! The only constructive criticism I have is the font choice. The notes & textual references are quite small, even for younger eyes. Thank goodness for my readers! 🤓 Once again, great job Tim! 👍
I absolutely love this Bible. I love that it doesn't get theological. It mainly focuses on the life application commentary. I like that better because all denomination has that branched off from the original is perverted in some way. So this Bible doesn't have much of this issues. I love it.
I am doing a chronological reading plan for the first time this year. I am really enjoying it. What you miss is following the theology and central argument of each author that you discern when you read canonically. But chronological reading helps you understand the history.
I am reading the bible in chronological order this year using my ESV journaling bible, and the Bible Recap. Really love reading the bible this way. This bible is reeling me in, may be my 2024 chronological read.
Does the Bible Recap have resources that shows chronological order? I want to try and find reliable resources online, but there seem to be different opinions when it comes to establishing a congruent timeline.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviewsThat's what I figured. So all different versions of these chronological Bibles will have some variations in the structure of the order they put them in, right? No two sets will be identical, unless they copied off from another existing publication?
Thank you for sharing this Bible. I hadn't had an interest in a chronological Bible but your review has just highlighted it's value to me to add understanding. I love this. However with my eye condition I probably need a bigger font as may get frustrated using a magnifying glass with it. Great review, thank you.
Thanks for your review. I have the older edition for over 10 years old. The major issue I have with this format is that it makes dating assumptions that are not present in the text which can lead people into certain theological interpretations such as dating of revelation late. To me it seems a little presumptuous.
I posted a comment here about a week ago regarding this Bible missing some passages. I was mistaken, so I deleted the comment. I found the passages when I checked the canonical table of contents :) (1:11 in this video)
I found one of the new ones at the Christian bookstore near me, but when I go on Amazon to order it, it doesn’t come out till November. It was the exact same one.
Nice review, Tim. Our small group is working throuht the NLT One Year Chronological Bible this year. I like the way that OT passages are grouped together, such as 2 Sam 23:18-39 followed by 1 Chron 11:20-47. It's easy to compare the two passages. On the other hand, in the Gospels, I prefer to read each author's daily entry straight through, rather than the way Tyndale lays it out (e.g. Mar 12:28-34, Mat 22:34-40, Mar 12:35-37, Mat 22:41-46, etc.). The benefit of seeing the same story from different pov is outweighed by being able to read the continuous narrative, for me. YMMV
I have the Zondervan/TN chronological NIV study Bible. It’s a great resource, but I found it to be a bit “spazzy” in places, jumping alll around from book to book to repeat stories from different perspectives. Does this NLT do the same, or is it in smoother or larger chunks?
I think the reason for a single bookmark in a Chronological Bible is quite obvious :-) It is meant to be read chronologically, like a novel, so you just need to remember where you left off.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews too funny :-) You have to do what I do then and collect bookmarks - get your kids, and grandkids ,and sunday school kids to make them for you. I have many dozens now. Oh yeah, and stay of of Christian Book stores :-D
I hear different views on chronological. But the Bible itself often confuses me, so seeing it in order might help. I really do get confused by the skipping around and then I give up. So I’m not really used to reading in any order at all. Do you feel this is semi-beginner friendly? Meaning I’m not a scholar. I’m just trying to reconnect.
The order that you read it isn’t really that important. I find the chronological method too repetitive. I’d encourage you to try reading it in the Jewish order. It is set up a bit differently. You can find this order by searching it up on google.
It has a reading plan for a Jewish year, but I didn’t see any one year plans. YouVersion has a one year chronological plan that I’ve used and enjoyed. I actually prefer reading a regular Bible chronologically.
This is the 2nd edition chronological order of the Life Application Study Bible. The regular one isn't chronological in order. I've heard if you are a beginning Bible reader the Life Application Study Bible is better suited.

Thank you for answering some of my questions through the review
I think it’s clear why there is only one ribbon. It’s meant to be read page by page, cover to cover.
For sure. However even in a chronological Bible you may want to mark in more than one spot and it hurts nothing to add them.

There is no official agreed upon timeline if that is what you are asking.

They will all be similar. It’s the placement of Job that is often in different places.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thank you!
Really interesting bible. Live that tree trunk cover 😂
Excited for this review. I don’t have a chronological bible so super excited to see this with the life application too!
Great Bible. Thank you!

Thank you for the review! Based on your review, I just purchased it! So excited
Wow this is a pretty interesting one!
Ok, I really like that cover!
Just ordered! Thx!

A few physical stores probably got some pre-releases. They don’t release officially until November.
I got mine on ebay of all places! 😉
This Bible has everything that I hoped that the NKJV Chronological Bible would have had.
I admit the NKJV could have offered more, but it’s still a very nice edition.

Is the parenthesis how NLT chronological Bible displays the text in that order?

Sure, but what if I love lots of ribbons no matter what?

Do you know whether they will come out with a kjv version in this second edition as I have the first edition of both NLT and KJV?
It’s not impossible but I’ve not heard.
I think I missed it if you mentioned it but is the spine glued or sewn? Thanks!
It’s sewn.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thanks, Tim!
Is this one the same as the third edition Life application study bible other then it being chronological?
I believe the commentary is the same.
I had to go look ip the copyright of the one i have. Its 2007.
Yes. It’s been around a while. I’ve never seen the first edition so I can’t assure exactly what all is updated in the second edition.
I love this bible - I know your not going to like what I say next BUT I wish they would put both God & Jesus in red😊
I don’t hate red letter. I just don’t prefer it.
Does this have the daily readings to finish in a year?
I don’t recall, I’ll have to look tomorrow.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews thank you!
It has a reading plan for a Jewish year, but I didn’t see any one year plans. YouVersion has a one year chronological plan that I’ve used and enjoyed. I actually prefer reading a regular Bible chronologically.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews appreciate your help. Thank you
Hey Tim which Bible is thicker the NLT chronological life application study Bible second edition or the NLT illustrated study Bible?
It depends on the print size but it seems the Chronological is a touch thicker if the font is same.
@anickelsworthbiblereviews wow, ok, that is a thick Bible lol , thanks again for getting back to me.
Is there any vast differences (study/application notes) between this and the normal life application version? unsure which one would be best to get.
I’d get the normal one.
This is the 2nd edition chronological order of the Life Application Study Bible. The regular one isn't chronological in order. I've heard if you are a beginning Bible reader the Life Application Study Bible is better suited.
@@jenninscho1980 Thank you for the reply. That is the one i went with and i really like it :)
