- Excited about the new Schuyler RSV Quentel, but not sure if you'll like the translation? Wondering how the RSV reads, but don't want to spend over $200 on one? Well check out this vintage RSV by Thomas Nelson that I was able to score for less than 1/10th the cost of the new Quentel. This edition can easily be found on eBay for around $20 and makes for an excellent RSV starter Bible. This particular example has a genuine leather cover, spine ribs, a red ribbon and beautifully opaque paper. The combination of its attributes makes for a spectacular reader, and a wonderful starter copy of the RSV. Enjoy!
The best Bible out there, is the one you read! May God bless you and your Bible studies!

A real case of "they just don't make em like they used to". Beautiful find!
The RSV has been underestimated as a translation. It is a good translation and very useful in serious Bible study.
Great review. There are a few red letter 52 RSVs out there. They are rare and the red is very light.
I have that exact edition. It is my favorite RSV Bible. Simple, easy to read, no ghosting (thanks to the tan pages). Mine has a beautiful aged look. No broken spine in mine. I plan on changing out the ribbon. Also, I plan on getting another like it for a rebind (because who needs Schuyler’s typos).
Nice. My Schuyler will come in today, but that looks like a really nice inexpensive option. I like the opaque paper, and I also like the older typefaces they used to use back then.
Love this so much.
I learned something today! I didn't know a group of sewn together pages was called a"signature". I have several signatures separating in my well loved, heavily used Nelson Scofield NKJV from the'80s. They don't bother me though, as long as pages and signatures don't start actually falling out of my Bible! Thanks for the lesson. :)
I was getting these for a buck at the used bookstore because I love them, but all mine have red gilding, not gold. I have one in my truck, in my pew rack at church (I got my place in a pew, thank you very much), and two in my office. One went to Africa with me for a month long mission trip, and was the subject of me very first YT video! There is one at the bookstore now, so I will see if it has gold gilding. And I love the pictures! All of mine have drop caps.
Nelson is apparently re-printing the RSV as part of the "Sovereign" collection. It's nice to see this version back in print.
I love the font style of the old Nelson editions. That looks alot like an old Cambridge Morocco grain . I had an NASB SCR EDITION by Moody from 1977 once with that same grain style. I gave it away like a big dummy. Now finding one is rare esp in good shape.
Thomas nelson has a RSV sovereign edition shipping in aug
I've always wondered why they burned the ends of the ribbons.
Ironically, just yesterday before seeing this video, I ordered off ebay a 1959 printing Nelson RSV bible. It has double column and center column references. I've already been notified it's "in the mail." Can't wait to get it!
Excellent review. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼
I bought a 1952 RSV for $20 and had it rebound for about $100. Turned out great. I have a copy of the NT & Psalms Pocket RSV2CE I use on the go and then my RSV for home reading and study
Getting better typeset kind of would defeat the cost of picking up one of those up. Even the recent pre comfort print Thomas Nelson editions look much nicer than those made in the 1950s.
Thank you for a great review. I love the Classic look of this
I just scored an old hardcover copy on the free rack at the local used book store..not nearly as cool as a show off 200$+ bible but it will do.😂
It looks practically opaque at least compared to modern bibles…what’s up with that?
Is there a large print? I have an older Oxford…RSV.. I believe Oxford only produces the NRSV now.
