Good Monday morning everyone!! Hope everybody had a great Sunday/Memorial day!! Thanks for your service and sacrifices that were made. May God bless each and everyone of you!! Hope we all have a blessed week ahead of us!!
Excellent review, Tim! I have Volume 1 and 2 and like them very much. I ordered Volume 3 and look forward to receiving it. These volumes are beautifully written and illustrated. Thank you for your comprehensive reviews.
When I was in Italy one of the artists working on restoring the fresco at Santa Croce in Florence said that these medieval paintings were Bible translations for people who didn’t read. On hearing this I have a new respect for early and medieval Christian art. Edit: It makes sense, apart from the beauty the art adds to the Bible, to include some of these images.
I often heard that when trying to convert the Native Americans to Christianity, the Europeans used statues to tell them due to the language barrier. I don’t know how true that is though. I do know that stained glass windows in churches are sometimes referred to as a poor man’s Bible.
I got mine last month, and it's as beautiful as the others. I wish it had a leather liner and sometimes the paper's a tad too glossy in the light, but I'm still pleased. It'll be a beautiful series when it's all out, though sometimes I wonder whether the hardcover option would've been better in the end for me, giving me a row of aligned hardcover spines rather than likely two stacks as the final outcome. But these are just minor quibbles.
@Treeckonius Constantinus there will be a total of 7 volumes of these ..I believe.... .but sadly at this moment Amazon does Not have the Genuine Leather ones of Volume III in yet, at this time... I can't wait to see how much of a savings I can get on the purchase of one of these great bibles in Genuine Leather from there , once they DO .have these available..... and shipping is usually (in my case).. only one day from the time of order to receiving.. and it's free....... so that is a plus
Great review Tim! I'm behind in reading the first two volumes that I have but I'm trying to catch up so that I can get the third volume. Thanks for the review.

Beautiful Bible but expensive. I cant wait to see the Word on Fire the Wisdom Books including Psalms. that one I would buy my favorite books of the Bible are Proverbs and Job.
Hi Tim. I ran across a video about the fire Bible but didnt like that persons review. I was wondering if you had ever done a video on the fire Bible? I’m assuming it is different than the word on fire Bible. Thanks for all your videos I really enjoy being a member of your channel. God bless. Hi to Becca 😊👏🏻🙋♀️
Do you have a bundle price for the series? I am hoping so. I have Amazon prime and am thinking I can save a great deal on shipping? How much is your shipping. Is the content of the paperback exactly the same as the leather bound?
@Tim_Wildsmith As you know, I am obsessed with the Word on Fire Bible editions. If you plan to do a giveaway for volume 3, may I nominate myself herein? (It’s been a tough year so, I’m not likely to be able to get this volume for a few years.). My faith must be patient. Perhaps that’s my lesson! 😅😊
@kirsten8807 latest update...any one still wanting to purchase the Leather bound copy of Word On Fire III... Amazon Now has a few on their site for the price of 54.24
Tim - These look amazing, but I have one huge question: are the Roman Catholic theology and perspective so pervasive that they will be an obstacle to a reformed protestant enjoying the Word on Fire Bible? I don't need it to be completely ecumenical, just not in my face Catholic - which some of Bishop Barron's videos, wonderful though they be, certainly are, and which I fear these volumes may be as well. Thanks!
@tgleo1 as a Pastor once told me... just eat the watermelon and spit out the seeds.... as long as you.. like me..... are strong in our beliefs... and we know in whom we have Believed... He is able to deliver us from the grasp of iniquity... in other words.. if you see something in the Word on Fire bible that does Not match up to what the Bible says.. spit it out...rather than convert... We have the truth... Amen..
@@katholischetheologiegeschi1319 I am sure there are things in the "Word on Fire" bible that do Not match up to the bible PERIOD.!.. not My translation of it... we all know that if the bible states one thing.. and the Pope says that is Not what the bible says... then the bible is wrong..according to Catholics... does it ever dawn on Catholics that the "Holy See"... does Not always "see"... things... the way the Bible really states... case in point.. we are told flat out that the bible. ."these words ".. were written that ye may KNOW ye have eternal life... 1 John 5:13 when my mother pointed this out to her priest.. he told her it's a sin to know this... the "SIN OF PRESUMPTION"" show me in the bible where ANY babies were baptized show me in the bible where any one was baptized by sprinkling water on foreheads... Show me anywhere in the bible where it says that Mary remained a perpetual Virgin After the birth of Jesus.. also .. who do Catholics believe Genesis 3:15 is pointing to?... Mary?... WRONG... as I said... one can STILL enjoy the Word on Fire bible... by skipping over and Not ingesting beliefs or practices.. that are NOT.. taught in God's word..
@Tomas Garza Yes I admit I DO get worked up when people who have NO idea about what the bible REALLY says...have the Gall to state "MY INTERPRETATION" of what the bible says... I really do not need to interpret the Bible for Catholics... and Neither does the Pope.. or any Bishop.... they just need to READ it for themselves.. and quit trying to insinuate.. that I have my own interpretation of it ..they would come to the same conclusions.. too many people like to SHOOT FIRST and ask questions... or NOT later..
I'm assuming there is no point in these volumes where they get listed as "Volume One" or "Volume Three" as obviously that would throw them all out of order...since the publishing order doesn't match as it is presented in the Bible.
@@timwildsmith Thank you for the reply. I understand that. I don't think I explained what I was asking properly so my apologies. I know how they are ordered online in accordance to the release order. I'm asking if, anywhere in/on the book, do they have "Volume 1, Volume 2" printed. This is about an OCD thing for me. I would want these books on the shelf in their proper "Bible Order" but it would absolutely trigger my OCD if I open up the "Beginning" of The Bible and see "Volume 3: The Pentateuch" on a title page, and then work my way to the New Testament to see "Volume 1: The Gospels" etc
@@timwildsmith I suppose that is good enough, so I can at least display them in "Bible Order" on the shelf without feeling irked by having them "out of order" by Volume number, I appreciate the info.
I think I am going to have a heart attack!!! Finally a Catholic Bible that is luxurious and aesthetically made. It looks very cool and unique. What kind of leather is it?
I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up the leather edition of volume III two weeks ago off Amazon. For about 70.00. Now , on Amazon the lowest priced ones are about 91.00. I have to constantly be on the prowl to find bibles and other resource materials at prices they are worth. There is so much of a glut of religious material that is extremely OVERPRICED .. it is ridiculous and frustrating that children of God have to be taken advantage of by institutions and Christian? Publishers wanting more than their product is worth. VERY SAD. But the very fact that I was able to purchase a brand new copy of Word On Fire volume III for 20-30 dollars less than what most places feel they deserve for this book. Is proof positive of price gouging being done to Christians by other Christians.
I have the first 2 volumes..very beautiful. My question is they spent so much on these Bibles..why didn’t they include Jesus’ words in “red”? I’m old school and was a bit disappointed.
The only difference between the Catholic bible and a Protestant one is that the Catholic bible includes what Protestants refer to as the Apocrypha; it is my understanding that Protestants consider them separate from the bible. To date, the volumes that have been released thus far contain the exact same books-word for word-as those found in a Protestant bible of the same translation.
@@kirsten8807 Catholic commentaries in these that expresses their POV makes these Catholic, even though the full sets are not complete yet. Yes, the Apocrypha will be done later in their line up.
For the Protestant side, there is the Ancient Faith Study Bible by Holman in the CSB translation And the Church History Study Bible by Crossway in the ESV translation. There is also the Ancient Modern Study Bible in the NKJV, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. The first two are more solid choices if you are looking for something similar to this on the Protestant or Reformation side. God Bless
As with all my reviews, I do them to help people see what these Bibles have to offer so they can determine if they want to buy one. I also think they're great Bibles that are very well designed and produced. I am not Catholic, but I have many friends, family members, and viewers who are. I understand that many Protestants take issue with certain doctrines of the Catholic Church (which I sense is the subtext behind the questions you are asking), but I have found the vast majority of Catholic people that I have met to be faithful followers of Jesus. I believe there is room for all of us at the table, even if we come to it from different perspectives.
@@timwildsmith Roman Catholics have a different Gospel and aren't Christian. As a Protestant we shouldn't be encouraging those deceived by the false religion of Catholicism by making them feel comfortable there, rather we should be calling them out. This is kind of what 'Protestant' means. We 'protest' the false doctrines of the Romish Church.
I see that I am not the only one with suspicions regarding Lion and Lamb..?.. dave4usc has some concerns regarding their communique with us common folk
This is unlike something I’ve ever seen done in a Bible. Incredible
I'm hoping they put Psalms and Proverbs together and do that one next! They are just so beautiful!! Thanks Tim!

On Amazon!
What will be the release to buy one?
Looking forward to getting all three haven’t had one yet
Today!
Thanks, Tim! You said this is the Catholic Edition, How is the text different than a non-catholic edition of the Bible?
The main difference is that it includes the Deuterocanonical books in the order approved by the Catholic Church.
It have the extra books that are present on the Catholic Bible and both book of Esther and Daniel are a bit longer
When will it be available on Amazon cause I want to get all three
Today. Check out the link.
