My first impression... as an Alabama fan, I love the red! It seems very intentional in making a statement. The price and the design scream that this is leaning more toward being a usable piece of art from Eric Haze, as opposed to a mega durable pulpit or family bible. This doubles as a functional bible for reading but mostly it is a conversation piece (like most art is intended to be) DARING people to ask and learn about it. "Do not be afraid" is appropriately the moniker for GPC because this bible will draw attention and conversation, so lean into the interaction rather than shying away... Great reactions and I look forward to the review, and I may in the future try to review one as well.

@@timwildsmith Yeah, I think it would be in a different category... So comparing it to other editions might defeat the purpose of the existence of the edition... However, it is our nature to do so as consumers and reviewers. I'll go out on a limb and say that this bible is less for the frugal bible student and more as an accent and conversation piece, like a very unique coffee table edition, in the home of someone who might entertain quite a bit, or for a fan of Eric Haze artwork. You said it well that this seems to have a very "hipster" vibe and I agree.

I couldn't make out the word ..maybe "paper"?....they have to share why recycled anything would up the cost more than something brand new.. or were they trying to say that .. by using recycled things they were able to keep the cost down to 300.00?...this sounds like a good way to make some extra cash..for starving artists..I am glad they are trying to support the person designing the book titles in this manner....

Great unboxing review. I completely understand first impressions. And I know a lot of people are scratching their heads of why $300 bucks. However, this bible was made in USA (and in New York City no less!) With the famed artist, limited run edition, and donation marketing appeal, the price is understandable. This is a whole different take of Bible publishing. While it offers a visual "wow" factor, a Bible is meant to be somewhat portable and to be pleasantly read. I give a thumbs up for creativity. However, I personally believe, this bible was fashioned to be used more of a "conversation" piece. It is not your grandfather's bible for sure! LOL

oh... and not to be a naysayer.. but in this video dated from around April.. you mentioned it was a 300.00 bible..?.. I see the price is now at 240.00... hmmm.. maybe the publishers realized this bible was too costly for what they were asking as well..?...when the price drops to what this bible should cost... I may get one.. but that is .. iffy... I have to get over the NIV translation hurdle next......maybe if it was in the KJV...?...

“Do not be afraid” of what? The price? I’ve never really commented on Bible reviews. I own 2 Schuyler’s and 1 preachers Bible from Steadfast. I don’t see 1 single reason why $300 is a justifiable price other than it being a brick of a Bible.
@timwildsmith3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I had to get outside the mindset of comparing this to Bibles like Schuyler in order to really see it in a new light. Excited to share more in upcoming videos.

The publishing company has maybe gone away? Social media accounts don’t seem to have anything current, follower count is extremely low, third party handling sales and bible appears to have changed color/design. Just my observations.

$300.00 for a bible?!?!?! Really??? The most I ever paid for a bible is $45 or $55. Now that I have found & online christian store, I don't have to spend more $30. I've even got some good bible deals in thrift stores, paying as low as a $1 for some great bible finds!!!!!

it's nice to be a bible reviewer.I suppose........ I have heard from other reviewers where..they get their bibles for free just for reviewing them.. so I can appreciate the position you are in... If you had to speak honestly.... I suppose about every bible you were given free as part of the review.. I imagine.. you would not be getting very many to review.. because honestly some publishers.. publish ..Junk for an ungodly amount of money...this is Not the first overpriced Bible I have seen reviewed....but it probably is what I feel to be the most over priced..

ya i mean its more like a pretentious art piece by some artist bringing us the bible in a new innovative $300 dollar way. Jesus would smack you with this bible and tell you to put that $300 towards something else. All jokes aside it's not my style and i don't know much about premium bibles, i don't think the average person would buy one.
