I picked up a copy secondhand years ago and I'm happy I did.
- TheFreim 4y agoBibliotheca looks like possibly a modern version of this, I recently ordered a copy so I'll know when it ships late 2023. https://www.bibliotheca.co/ https://www.bibliotheca.co/
- sombragris 4y agoI like the ESV and Crossway publishes a Reader's Edition exactly like this: https://www.crossway.org/bibles/esv-readers-bible-cob/ https://www.crossway.org/bibles/esv-readers-bible-cob/
- TheFreim 4y agoThat does look amazing, thank you for the link. Unfortunately for me it doesn't contain the deuterocanonical books ("apocrypha") which for me are important to have.
- sombragris 4y agoCrossway does publish the ESV with apocrypha. I think there must be a Reader's Edition with them somewhere.
- TheFreim 4y agoUnfortunately the ESV Reader's Edition does not contain the deuterocanonical books, it's actually noted on the Bibliotheca (Bible) Wikipedia article that Crossway's edition "could be viewed as less ecumenical" because it's missing these books. Still, the ESV set is stunning and I still am considering picking up, I'd just use another Bible for the missing books.
- TheFreim 4y ago> Crossway does publish the ESV with apocrypha. I'll have to take another look, last I checked i couldn't find one meeting my specifications but I may have missed something. Thanks!
