I love mine .. great paper, great leather, comfort print ..BOLD .. i waited a life time for this ..! could wait for a wide margin edition .. But ill be busy reading this one ! Even tho that would be wonderful too! One happy camper here ! thank you Jesus !!!
My cousin-in-law has that exact same Bible, and it's one of the most astonishing looking Bibles that I have ever seen been read by another. Great brand, anyways, God bless you my brother in Christ
Around minute 21, you see Romans 4:16 in black but in the older Thompson, 4:16 is printed under #1449. Also, I find the archeological section that is missing in this new version, helpful to learn about places mentioned in the Scripture text and those places being documented in the study helps in the "4000" number series - 4345 - Bethsaida or 4346 - Beth-shan. I also like the self-pronouncing text of the KJV which is missing in this new version. The print of this new version is very nice and easy to read. Thanks for your review.... very helpful.
I noticed watching your video at about 11 minutes, where you show Genesis 41 that the date in the margin differs from the older version - 1715 B.C. in the older and 1886 B.C. in your premiere version.
Oooh... I was waiting for this one. I think the font on Thompson Bibles is always too small for my taste. But I'm glad to see a company making a good quality Bible for folks that prefer this model. As far as chained reference Bibles with this same overall idiology goes, I personally went instead for the TBS Westminster large print. It's a big Bible, but these I usually leave for desk use only anyway. I got myself a Schuyler Canterbury for pleasure reading and finally a CBP midsize Turquoise to take to church and around with me. Built like a tank to take the abuse. I may have purchased an identical backup for each of those 3 Bibles as well... (Don't judge me, LOL), so I feel pretty future proof to the point I may not buy another Bible for myself for the next 30 years or so. Great review as always.
My favorite every day carry is the Schuyler Canterbury. It used to be the TCR, but do to aging eyes I had to switch to bigger font! This Thompson is ver nice though! It used to be an 8 pt font and a lighter ink. Now it is 9.5 pt font - dark and bold! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
It has a little bit of the preterist view. Now some things can be dual - prophecy in the immediate future and longer in the future. Once again, this is still not a big part - they tried to be as unbiased as they could.
I enjoy mine I like the black letter edition the best and I wish they had the glossary put in and other bibles have a regular dictionary would be nice to put in I also wish they would have black letter edition in all of them rather than the red letter edition I think it’s easier to read the regular size editions if they have it in the black letter only like the 1964 Thomson chain was only in black letter the 5th edition changed everything to red letter I like the thicker books and the leather is wonderful this looks more like the 1964 Thomson chain edition minus the red section in it and minus the archeological section I take the black letter edition any day over the red letter wish more bibles get rid of the red letter all together and keep it one color and it’s easier to read than the red letter that is my opinion otherwise it’s a wonderful Bible I do have older editions as well I do like the archeological section as I enjoy history
Yes Zondervan and Thomas Nelson - although two separate companies are owned by the same parent company. Therefore the production will be similar in quality and materials. Also Thomas Nelson came out with the comfort print which they both share now as well.
Printed in China, are you joking?❤ how is that possible so are the text blocks and the paper ship back from China after they receive them from another? I don’t know I give up on this one.
Yes, printed in China. Paper is highly opaque paper from Europe though. I agree, I would rather it be printed in the USA. Second choice would be Royal Jongbloed in the Netherlands.
Yeah, I had one of the first ones that came out. I had had to do some glueing over time though. Good Bibles, but still not up to par with Schuyler, RL Allan, or Cambridge.
Excellent review however, I prefer the older Thompson reference Bible that were made by BB Kirkbride I just got the newer version today and it’s missing the tree of Jesus his life the tree of Paul’s life, a bunch of the charts and I’m just really not feeling it. Definitely going to return it and try to find an older version. Any idea where I might be able to find the old one? Also, I had an extra large Bible from them and buy extra large. I don’t mean print I mean the size.
Not getting another Thompson, to many references to the RV . In the kjv. It's still biased brother. No offense. Great video. Zondervan will only mess it up. Part of the eccuMENical system.
Except that Bible is made by zondervan, they take all kinds of stuff out, and they add stuff, it's no longer Thompson chain-reference, it's a zondervan, put a the original Thompson chain-reference right next to that zondervan imitation Thompson's chain, and look to see if the zondervan's got all the same things as the old King James original Thompson, and you will see changes that would not be acceptable guaranteed, you look at everything from beginning to end and you'll see what I mean, when Thompson sold out to zondervan, the chain reference is no longer the same, not even close, I'll stick with the original Thompson's chain, you can keep the zondervan.
Actually they completed their chains. Yes they took out the Archeological supplement and the Glossary for the king's english, but all the other content is still in there. Some of the maps and charts are changed, but the info is still there. Now, do I still love the Kirkbride edition? Yes, I have stocked up on many (yeah many) of the older editions so that myself, my wife, my kid's and grandkids would have them. The sad thing is a person is not going to be able to pick up a Kirkbride one for very much longer. They are now becoming collector's items. Therefore, I'm glad that the Thompson Chain Reference will still be around for others.
Ahh, she thought that may be you! She said “hi.” We do mainly evangelism, public speaking, fill-in, and have an online ministry. We both are authors as well.
The KJV Thompson has a better goatskin🎉😁 than the other Zlondervan Thompsons. The NASB goatskin has the worst, it is more like a "tin roof" and very stiff!!! 😭
Awesome Bible 📖
I love mine .. great paper, great leather, comfort print ..BOLD .. i waited a life time for this ..! could wait for a wide margin edition .. But ill be busy reading this one ! Even tho that would be wonderful too! One happy camper here ! thank you Jesus !!!

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
This Bible is gorgeous, but I'm still partial to the older versions, still. Excellent review and very informative. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. It is a beautiful Bible!
The more I read Comfort Print, the more I enjoy it! I see this Bible in my future!,
I’m gonna wait till it is released in the NASB95.
I’m sure you’ll love it!
Thank you for the review.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it!
I think that we should have two of them one for using and the other one as a back up
That’s true! I have had second copies of Bibles and I’m glad I did for they discontinued the printing.
Just got this bible for less than 100$ CAD I’m so pumped!
Excellent review!!!🙏🎉😁
Not like, some silly immature, faux, Bible reviewers on, RUclips😭

@@faithtowalkministries132 I am supper impressed with your videos.
Great review thanks for taking the time to do these for us. They are a blessing to me. If you don't mind me asking what is the bias in Revelation?

Thanks for the review. Got my first Thompson in 1976. Waiting for the NKJV Premier.

Great review, thanks...just curious for your opinion on what the eschatology bias in Revelation is. Tia
It has a little bit of the preterist view. Now some things can be dual - prophecy in the immediate future and longer in the future. Once again, this is still not a big part - they tried to be as unbiased as they could.
What did you disagree with in the outlines?
I enjoy mine I like the black letter edition the best and I wish they had the glossary put in and other bibles have a regular dictionary would be nice to put in
I also wish they would have black letter edition in all of them rather than the red letter edition I think it’s easier to read the regular size editions if they have it in the black letter only like the 1964 Thomson chain was only in black letter the 5th edition
changed everything to red letter I like the thicker books and the leather is wonderful this looks more like the 1964 Thomson chain edition minus the red section in it and minus the archeological section I take the black letter edition any day over the red letter wish more bibles get rid of the red letter all together and keep it one color and it’s easier to read than the red letter that is my opinion otherwise it’s a wonderful Bible I do have older editions as well I do like the archeological section as I enjoy history
Thanks you for taking the time to watch and comment!
Why does this premium version look like Thomas Nelson's premium? Are they now the same company?? Thank you.
Yes Zondervan and Thomas Nelson - although two separate companies are owned by the same parent company. Therefore the production will be similar in quality and materials. Also Thomas Nelson came out with the comfort print which they both share now as well.
Why don't they offer an Index version of the goatskin version?
That would probably be because of the art guilting. Just my guess.
@@faithtowalkministries132 Oh gotchya, that could be.
The text is still unedited & original KJV 1611?
If it's the KJV, then why isn't it Red Letter??? Any idea why they didn't do wider margins?
Not all KJV Bibles are red letter. It all depends on the publisher.
They should make this premiere edition in handy size with black letter edition also rather than the red letter version
I imaging the more popular it gets, that could happen!
Printed in China, are you joking?❤ how is that possible so are the text blocks and the paper ship back from China after they receive them from another? I don’t know I give up on this one.
Yes, printed in China. Paper is highly opaque paper from Europe though. I agree, I would rather it be printed in the USA. Second choice would be Royal Jongbloed in the Netherlands.
Check out Humble Lamb bibles. Don’t think you’ll be disappointed 😊
I would, but not a fan of artwork in the Bible. The main reason I haven’t got one.
Are you impressed with Premier Collection Bibles?
Yeah, I had one of the first ones that came out. I had had to do some glueing over time though. Good Bibles, but still not up to par with Schuyler, RL Allan, or Cambridge.
@@faithtowalkministries132 Agreed
The concordance in this bible is incomplete because there is no Z
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Interesting point.
Excellent review however, I prefer the older Thompson reference Bible that were made by BB Kirkbride

You may be able to find the regular size ones printed by Kirkbride but bound by CBP (Church Bible Publishers). If they have any left.
Not getting another Thompson, to many references to the RV . In the kjv. It's still biased brother. No offense. Great video. Zondervan will only mess it up. Part of the eccuMENical system.
They actually took out the RV references. Thanks for watching!
What is RV?
@@johnruiz3059 Revised Version . The ASV of the time .
@Faith to Walk Ministries many bible versions, other than the kjv do that...greats sales gimmick.

Do you preach?
I do indeed!

Ahh, she thought that may be you! She said “hi.” We do mainly evangelism, public speaking, fill-in, and have an online ministry. We both are authors as well.
Not the same as the kirkbride text. Therefore not buying it. The 2K/Denmark pring or comfort print just messed up the Thompson
I'd be afraid to mark my scriptures in a $270 Bible. lol
That’s what I thought and now - write write write!!! lol. Thanks for watching! You can get it under $200 though.
@@faithtowalkministries132 Yep, I got the $60 version. :-)
I feel like there’s just too much going on on that page
Once you use it, it becomes less distracting. Thanks for watching.
