Great review Tim! I discovered your channel a little while ago and have been on a binge watching all your videos. It's opened up a whole new world of Bibles to me that I never knew existed. I recently bought a Clarion in part thanks to your review of it, just waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for what you're doing here with Bible Review Blog!
Got my dark purple Stridon two weeks ago and I am loving it. I am a fan of the single-column, verse-by-verse format for studying and preaching. It reminds me a little like the Treveris and the Stridon can pass off as a reader too. Schuyler knocks it out of the park every time. Thanks for the doing the review.
I love this Bible I bought it for the typesetting. It's really just a smidge thicker than the Quentel. The typesetting is just perfect for me. I hope they make it in the NKJV but I have been enjoying the NASB.
Tim, could you try and include in your reviews if each new book page starts on a new page or not? This is a big deal for some and noticed you didn’t bring it up or show it. Had to find out on another reviewers video. Thanks brother!
Because of this great review and your excitement over this Bible, I ordered it in the Marbled Mahogany Calfskin today. I'm so excited!! Thanks, Tim, for all you do to help us decide. 💕
Great review, as always, Tim! A friend of mine has this Bible and I took a look at it and found the show-through to be a bit distracting and unsightly. I understand that Schuyler went to 28 gsm to slim down their Bibles, but I honestly wish they would have gone with at least a 32 gsm, especially for type settings like the Stridon. But that is just my opinion.
I really like the Stridon format and think Schuyler has hit a niche that will be very successful. Got my copy in Slate and it is super nice! Great review as always Tim!
Man, my Quentel NASB came today in the full yapp slate goatskin. Kinda wish I’d purchased the Stridon. lol. I like the 11 font of the Quentel. I was just looking at the PDF comparing the font. I can only tell a small difference. May have to grab the Stridon in the ESV! The Quentel is my first premium Bible. I have to say I absolutely love it!
I LOVE the idea of the stridon but honestly I think This Bible is just too big. Was hoping for something between the treveris and the clarion. I really think Schuyler needs to consider doing a verse by verse but two-column setting. It would bring the size down tremendously AND it would decrease all that ghosting. I don’t really see the benefit in a single column when something is verse by verse. You’re not preserving paragraph formats or making it “read like a novel” so I just don’t really get this one. Thank you SO much for doing this. Helped me to see I need to pass on this one. And yes green with the brown line is fabulous! Reminds me of being in nature :)
This looks like my dream Bible! Verse format, NASB 2020, 10pt. font, red verse numbers, cross-references, and full translation notes. 2K/DENMARK!!! 🎯 📖 🙋♂️ Thank you for this great review!
I’m not a verse by verse person and won’t be buying this but I am VERY impressed with how Schuyler typeset this Bible (as well as the general workmanship). The contrast between poetic and prose settings in Isaiah 30 around 7:24 is brilliantly executed. If I needed a vbv Bible, the Stridon would be it!
I have the quentel in the regular size and personellste size. I also just received the striden also. The quentel has a larger font size than the striden. I like the layout of the striden better with the chapter and verse numbers being in red. Now the need to make a personal size in the striden.
This Bible is sooo close to being exactly what I want, but alas the wait continues. I love a single column reference Bible, but I wish the typeset was slightly smaller (to slim down), the paper was slightly thicker, and the margin was twice as wide. The ESV journaling Bible is the best I’ve found for my preferences but it’s far from a premium Bible. Really hoping to see something like it from Allan, Schuyler, or Cambridge one day
Thanks, Tim. I find that there is too little white space on the Stridon pages for my old eyes. I would prefer a smaller margin and more leading between the sentences. So I think I'll stick with the Cambridge Clarion as it is much easier to read. What I'd really like to see is a vbv Cambridge Topaz in the NASB2020.
Great review Tim. I really love the concept, and would like to see it in a KJV. The show through looks awful though. I have several Bibles with this expensive 28gsm paper, and to be honest, I'm not sure I want to buy another as I struggle with the show through, and these are too expensive for me if my reading experience is spoilt by this issue. I recently bought a 1957 Collins KJV from a charity shop and it has no show through. How come with all the expensive paper in today's high end Bibles they can't achieve the same as something that's over 60 years old?
I think it looks a bit less opaque in the video for some reason than it does in person... but I have heard that old sentiment that "they just don't make it like they used to" from others.
I agree 100% about the show-through. In fact, before I even came across this comment, I expressed the same regarding the show-through. This is the main reasons I am not going to purchase a Schuyler that has this 28 gsm paper, and especially with a type-setting like this where there’s a lot of blank page space. I had my eye on a Trevaris as potentially my first Schuyler, but find the ‘ghosting’ too distracting. A friend of mine has the Stridon, and while it’s true that the problem of show-through is less so in real life than in a video, it’s still a deal breaker for me. IMO, they should have gone with at least a 32 gsm.
@@alexkliever4659 I bought the KJV treverris and I really like the layout but am really distracted by the show through in places. For me, it spoils a great bible.
I'm sure you're familiar with the misprints on old US coins and how they soar in price! Maybe we've purchased a "Collector's Edition" of the NASB Stridon! I understand that the Word of God itself is of inestimable value. But might we have an Edition that carries extra value as it concerns "filthy lucre"? 😇😇
Always enjoy your reviews. I also agree that 28 gsm seems a little thin. Have you heard whether there are any plans for Schuyler to produces a verse by verse edition of the CSB? Thanks again!
Full yapp Desert Camel NKJV Stridon is on its way in November. I already know my Christmas gift to myself. I’m ordering 3.. Mine, my Wife and my daughter. My oldest boy is getting a Goatskin KJV Cambridge WM. Nice way to close 2024, No?? 😂
hey Tim, when it says " bv " next to where it has " Printed and Bound in the Netherlands by Royal Jongbloed " what does the " bv " mean? Also, i just ordered the NASB Stridon in Black Pearl Calfskin and i'm Super Excited about it
that's pretty cool. i wrote a message to Evangelical Bible, asking them what typeface they use in the NASB Stridon so, if they tell me what it is, i can write you a comment and share it with you if you want,
Hey bro. Do you prefer the Stridon or Quentel and why? I haven’t ever bought a Schuyler but I’m trying to decide if I want a NASB Stridon or a Quentel NLT.
Tough call. Probably the Quentel. Feels like a modern classic. And that NLT edition is perfect. Lockman is releasing a new NASB SCR later this year, and I’m excited to compare that to the Stridon.
Curious…today I emailed Evangelical Bible to let them know about a printing error I found in my Stridon. On pg 1702, top left chapter header it says, Philippians 5…there is no Phil. 5. 🥴 Does yours say that?
Attention Schuyler buyers. I bought a new Stridon NASB and was surprised to discover that tens of pages had unaligned, garbled and unreadable references at the bottom of the pages. I contacted Evangelical and this is the reply I got from them: We're sorry to hear that your new Stridon did not meet your expectations! It's not entirely unusual for red print to be misaligned from the black print even in a premium Bible, as these parts of the pages are printed at different times. Publishers do not consider this issue to be a printing defect unless the text overlaps and becomes unreadable. If you have pages that look like this, please send us some photos for review. We apologize for any inconvenience. Beware and check before you buy the Stridon.
Just got off the phone with Evangelical Bible, and they said they just received a new batch of Stridons and they all have Philippians 5. They said it should be removed by next year. I’m interested in buying this Bible, but do you guys think this typo is a deal breaker for this premium Bible???
Tim, could you put in a word with Schuyler for them to use ESV red letter from time to time? Us red letter folk are pining for a quality ESV with red lettering.
@@timwildsmith I actually chuckled at myself because when I first seen the issue, it didn’t dawn on me immediately either. So an easy oversight that is for sure.
Wow that looks like an amazing bible, thanks for the review! I have been watching a lot of your bible reviews and they have been so very helpful. I was hoping at some point someone would create a reader NASB 95 and 2020. Do you know if anyone is planning on creating a reader's bible for the NASB? It would be so fun if someone broke out with a sunshine yellow or even a bright orange bible, It would be fun to have brightly colored leather bibles, bright colors are my favorites. 😍
Looks GREAT!!! And Yes, I'm looking forward to more Stridons in other translations! (Still gravitating towards ESV here.)
that ESV Stridon is going to be a BIG seller.

Thank you for the review and comparison Tim. Looking forward to the ESV edition next year.

Single column, verse by verse reference Bibles are my absolute favorite! Thanks for the review!

Well, after watching more reviews of the Stridon I boxed the Quentel up for return shipping and purchased the Stridon NASB (black with full yapp....).

I agree! Really wish they came out with one with 36 gsm paper again. I would even be open to losing the concordance.
Thanks for the clear presentation of this Bible. It’s beautiful. Any chance there will be a version just like this but in paragraph format?
Not that I know of!

Is this as thick as the Wide-Margin 2-ColumnQuentel Bible?
Are they going to come out with it in NASB 95 brother. I’m not liking the 2020. I’m love the NASB 95. It’s what I speak lol.
