@@nan.starjak Right?? I never heard of these guys until Tim did a teaser the other day. I am super impressed.. I’m an RL Allen guy, but will definitely get one of these after that second printing is released
That gilding is SWEEETTT! Love the red inner liner. Paper looks fantastic, the layout would take some getting used to.. hmm. Overall some unique features. Not for me but interesting. Like the note paper at the back :-)
I love this Bible. Will definitely wait for second printing because I am not paying $365 for a Bible with that error, but definitely getting one once it’s fixed. These are pure artwork. All of the colors are nice, but that grey… WOW
One of the reasons that I like the Cambridge Concord so well is that it includes both the Translators Notes and the Epistle Dedicatory. Not many KJV Bibles feature both.
The use of the Scofield layout is perfect for those who journal. This is a great idea, but the final product comes up short. I will give the company credit for warning the customer about the imperfections of this Bible.
Hey Tim. This is the first Bible I've seen in quite a while that I really like. Love the layout and the typeface that shows honor to the past. The wide column in-between is perfect for notes. I'm glad it left out the Scofield notes as well. I sent Smith & Jones a couple of messages three days ago and I haven't heard back. Does it only come in KJV? I'm looking for a layout like this, but in an ESV. Any suggestions? Thank you and God bless you for your ministry.
I read their story on the website, really cool. I like that they are giving a large chunk of profits to a non-profit they started that helps churches and missions. Not to mention the build quality these seem to have. I will definitely be picking one of these up as an early Christmas gift to myself. One question tho Tim, do any other publishers print in the "grain long" direction, or is that kinda exclusive to Smith and Jones? I didn't realize such a thing existed until I read the very detailed description of the Bibles.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Hi Tim... I looked that publisher and their bibles up... that is a very nice bible but 365.00 is a bit out of my price range right now... I realize with all of those features.. especially the 22k gold gilding AND the rest of the features..... the bible is well worth the money... I would love to get one.... but that is out of my price range ... thanks for showing it, though...
The Scofield notes have led countless Christians astray with its “unique” ideas. It’s why I strongly prefer to keep the text of the Bible separate from any commentaries
U-N-I-Q-U-E is an interesting way to spell “destructive to historic understanding of eschatology, and United States foreign policy toward the Middle East .” 😅 Otherwise it’s a pretty Bible. I’ll have to follow the publisher in case they release some non-Scofield versions in the future.
I believe that Oxford published the Scofield so the text here is not Cambridge. A while back Local Church Bible Publishers did the same bible layout for a brief run where only the Scofield text was printed and the references and notes were deleted. I didn’t purchase one but it looked interesting.
Hey Tim, how long did it take to ship? I ordered on about 7 days ago and it is still sitting on “label created “. They aren’t answering email or phone. The voice mail is a generic computer-digital message.. getting a bit nervous. That’s a big investment… Did yours take a while to ship as well? Thx
If they're going to all the trouble of changing the typeface, why can't they just lay out the text consistently rather than letting C.I. Scofield dictate the size of the bottom margin? It's not so bad to have a center column for notes, but it surely wouldn't be that hard to grab one page that didn't have any Scofield notes at the bottom and use it as the template for the whole thing.
Many are used to the Scofield layout and pagination and where a certain verse is located on the page. Top, bottom, left column, right column etc. There wouldn't be a way to change it and keep it Scofield.
I’m not sure how it’s a Scofield layout? I have quite a few Scofield’s and none of them have that big empty center column for notes. Did you mean the chapter & section headings?
The layout itself is identical to the Scofield. Center margin is definitely wider though. But the pagination and word count per line and versification are all identical.
Wow, an amazing bible! Too much for me though at $365 USD. A stupid question from a bible newbie: why is Genesis 1:27 in red (at 3:36 in the video)? I might have missed the significance of that. Do all "red letter" bibles do that?
Thank God I still have the Scofield my dad gave me, his, and the one he gave my wife. All in excellent condition. I am blessed. Has all the original material too. All are 1960. Hope you can find a used one like mine. In great condition. God bless.
It's beautifully done, to be sure, with the exception of the spine stamping. I'm not a fan of red-letter Bibles--IMO, they tend to fuel the belief that the words in black letters are somehow less the Word of God than those in red--but certainly there's nothing inherently wrong there. But I'm afraid I can't see the point of the Scofield layout without the Scofield notes. Sure, room to take notes in the Bible can be valuable, though more often that's in the margin rather than between columns. But at the bottom of the page, in exactly the proportions that Scofield used? That's, well, kind of weird.
C.I. Scofield was a Dispensationalist and the notes in the Scofield Reference Bibles definitely push that theology. Perhaps that's why they were omitted.
@@guymontag349 It's not so much that they push that theology; they practically invented it (or it'd be more accurate to say they popularized it). But I don't really have a problem with omitting them; it's just odd to leave the space for them--more space at the bottom of the pages where the SRB had more notes, less space where there were fewer. Space between the columns for notes? Unusual, but sure. Space at the bottom of the page for notes? Again, somewhat unusual, but not a problem. But space at the bottom of the pages *proportional to the space Scofield gave,* but no notes, strikes me as very strange.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews There is already a ton of room for notes at the bottom. Why remove the references from the center? That's something I don't get.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Yeah I get that. I'm not knocking it. Just isn't the Bible for me. Got to have my references. It certainly is a unique Bible though. Not denying that.
Ugh!! Such a terrible layout for such a gorgeous Bible! I feel like the reading experience would be awful. The rest is immaculate though! Beautiful construction.
Where I understand leaving space for personal notes, it just feels odd that they just removed the Scofield notes and that's the amount of space you have. It feels rather arbitrary. I imagine that the notes that Scofield made and their length would not align with the notes I would make in most cases. It would have been much cleaner if they had consistently left the same amount of space under each page, or if they had just made a Scofield Bible.
The thing I think many people are missing is many people have used a Scofield bible for many years, and have a lot of visual memory for where a certain text or passage is on the page. The inconsistent layout lends itself to visual memory. I know a lot of people who have used the Schofield, and this seems to be near universal. So to be able to go back and find a passage that you know was on the left hand side on the upper section, having the same way out of the Bible you've used for years, is very valuable to many people.
Very nice. I’m sure God would not be offended, however, if you used a $25 pleather bible and used the rest of the $365 price tag on several more things….like food.

The greatest Bible is the one that you read! No matter the cover or the paper used to craft it!
Glad I have the Scofield dad bought me, his Scofield, and the one he gave my wife! I can take notes in my notebook. Thanks Tim!
Absolutely magnificent. And 45 GSM!!!! Three ribbons!!!! Colors!!!! ❤❤

That is a beautiful impressive Bible! Would love to support a Kentucky publisher! Thank you, Tim!

A nice looking bible. I'm impressed to see a bible publisher in Kentucky.
There’s also Humble Lamb.
Super cool explanation of the Bible layout 👍
This is a stand-out bible! I wish more publishers printed those red letters in the OT. Thanks Tim!
What an absolutely beautiful bible. I love the layout. Too bad it doesn't come in a large print version.

They only do KJV.
Great idea, they should do this with the Westminster too.
That's awesome!!
This Bible is absolutely gorgeous. I love the intentionality of it. If I still preached from the KJV, I'd be all over this.
I read their story on the website, really cool. I like that they are giving a large chunk of profits to a non-profit they started that helps churches and missions.

Custom rebinders do it. I don’t know of any publishers than don’t use stamped grain.

I don’t mind either way, I know which is which.
I agree. The Scofield Bible did a lot of damage to American Christians
U-N-I-Q-U-E is an interesting way to spell “destructive to historic understanding of eschatology, and United States foreign policy toward the Middle East .” 😅
Otherwise it’s a pretty Bible. I’ll have to follow the publisher in case they release some non-Scofield versions in the future.
Beautiful bible, and GREAT review. Definitely too big/heavy for me (plus not a KJV fan), but fantastic none-the-less.
I believe that Oxford published the Scofield so the text here is not Cambridge. A while back Local Church Bible Publishers did the same bible layout for a brief run where only the Scofield text was printed and the references and notes were deleted. I didn’t purchase one but it looked interesting.
They had it typeset by 2K and they promote the Cambridge. So I would say it is a Cambridge edition.
This is an awesome bible!
Excellent review, Tim, as always! Would you know when this publisher intends to reprint this Bible with the correction?
Not sure. This edition is brand new.
That is beautiful, but land’s can you imagine the weight if the notes were included.
It’s really heavy as it is.
That is almost my perfect journaling Bible. Except its not ESV. Ill wait for the second printing corrections.
Nice 👍, do they also have a NKJV as well?
No. They are KJVo.

I am close enough it didn’t ship. It was a pickup. I do know there was a conference. It will be fine I am sure.
And I thought my Hubble lamb Shepherd was bougie. But I suppose I prefer references. But I love tear drops and the Old Testament red letter
I have an lcbp Noteless classic same idea smaller footprint.
Magnificent Bible, but moving away from the Scofield would be good.
$365 Bible ? . I am intrigued . I just bought the desk edition Allan limited edition Purple Bible . Only 100 made
What a beautiful Bible! I would love them to include the KJV apocrypha!

I mentioned that later in the video. Anything quoted by Christ is also red in the Old Testament.
@@anickelsworthbiblereviews Thanks. I missed that. So it's sort of a forward reference without the chapter and verse numbers!

It's not the first "Noteless Scofield" I've seen. But the idea is weird; why not just leave a fixed amount of space?
C.I. Scofield was a Dispensationalist and the notes in the Scofield Reference Bibles definitely push that theology. Perhaps that's why they were omitted.
@@guymontag349 They're certainly problematic. To the point that at least one of them is actually rejected in the Holman KJV Study Bible.

It depends on what you are looking for.
Does anyone know why most bibles are bound in black is there any significance to that ?
Tradition I would guess. This one is available in 8 colors.

Scofield, the inventor of ZioChristianity, a deformed creature unknown for 1900 years.
I believe it preceded him.
