The ESV Spiral Bible beautiful. I like the wire bound over the plastic bound. I like the hard cover (and the solid color) over the soft flowered cover. I do like the spacing in the lines and between the words on the ESV. I also enjoy the color of the paper on the ESV. Both are beautiful and both will be useful in someone's studies. Thank you for sharing.

@wendycoop Ай бұрын
I can see how that would be beneficial! However, my understanding is that Crossway holds the copyright for the ESV while HarperCollins (and its imprints) hold the NIV copyright. It COULD work but there would be some legal maneuvering to make it happen.

New to your channel. Love the style of your videos. Just a curiosity… I am thinking it would be difficult to use these for seminary because it’d be difficult to jump to other books in the Bible… for example so much of the NT quotes the OT. I don’t know why I am curious about how you will handle it LOL … but I am … will you bring a second full Bible?
@wendycoop 2 ай бұрын
Welcome to the channel! That's a great question! I attend online so I don't carry the spiral bound versions with me anywhere. If I was attending in-person classes, then I would definitely only carry one Bible. The other thing I was thinking about was that for the next 8-weeks my classes are all OT based. I'll make a video at the end of the term to let you all know how it went!

It is a great idea! In order to get the whole Bible you have to buy multiple books. Otherwise it would be so big! There are some illustrating Bibles where it’s the whole Bible spiral bound. But I haven’t used one of those.

I personally use a KJV version and attend a Bible Study where they mostly use the ESV. While I like comparing the two, I'm not sure I'd purchase an ESV. If it was gifted to me, I certainly wouldn't object. I'm also not sure about having the Old and New Testament in separate books. That would take some getting used to. Of the two reviewed, I'd pick the ESV Spiral Bible, because of the sturdiness and wire bound vs plastic. The font looks similar, but I would prefer a large print.
@wendycoop 2 ай бұрын
That makes so much sense! I feel like having separate books is great for home study, but not too practical for taking it to church. I'm not sure yet so when I start using it, I'll let you know. I could have taken the New Testament one to church today because I knew we would be in Acts, but I took a different Bible today.

@@wendycoop I would definitely choose the ESV. These Bibles would be great for home study to take extensive notes, even adding sermon notes after church. I would have a separate Bible for church.

My best friend just got her ESV one, and I thought it was the spiral bible, but she actually got the ESV one from Crossway instead, and I totally want one. I've been using just cheap spiral notebooks for my sermon notes. Wish they would make one using the NASB translation.

What’s your favorite translation to read from? Spiral also has WEB translation, KJV…. Would you like them more if you had a different translation?
@wendycoop 2 ай бұрын
My current favorite is the ESV. For a long time it was the NIV and then I moved on to the NLT. But since I started seminary, the ESV (which is accepted at my school) has become my favorite. Would I like Spiral Bible more if they had more translations? No because now they do have the NLT. However, comparing it side by side with the ESV that just came out showed me the clear winner for me was the ESV by Crossway. However, I think there are enough people who want a spiral bible that there isn't really a wrong decision here as long as you get in the word.

@@DIYQUEENbyRienna I have never used it, but my research shows that it's the modern version of the American Standard Version from 1901. It's in the Public Domain as far as translations go. However, I don't believe it's a very popular translation. That being said, if you want the Spiral Bible, I saw they have the NLT and I would choose that. I still believe the ESV Spiral Bound is the better choice for durability.
