I highly recommend this Bible for journaling, note-taking, and general reading.Ĭrossway provided this Bible free for review. It’s even a great Bible for taking notes and just using like you would a regular wide-margin Bible. I would like to see a version of this Bible in every translation. This is now the standard that I compare all Bibles to. I love the layout, the paper, and the print. I find that this is the Bible I pick up to read more than any Bible I own. It would almost be nice to have three ribbons – one for each portion of Scripture in the reading plan, but since the reading plan has the date it’s not that necessary. You can keep up with where you are by the date that’s printed in the reading plan. There is a daily reading plan that gives you a passage from the OT, Psalms, and the NT. It show Biblical units, American and metric equivalents, and Biblical equivalents. There is a table of weights and measures. This way there are not a lot of distractions. It doesn’t have very much in the way of extras, but it’s fine for the purpose of a journaling Bible. References are keyed with letters.įootnote and reference keys are not in bold, so they blend with the text. There are references for parallel passages in the Gospels, and there are references for Old Testament quotes in the New Testament. Footnotes include alternate translations, Hebrew and Greek explanations, explanatory notes, and technical notes. The footnotes go throughout the whole Bible, but the references are only in the New Testament. There are footnotes at the bottom of the page that are keyed to the text with numbers. Some ghosting does show through, but I believe that’s due to the boldness of the text. At first I thought it was too dark, but after using it for a few days it has become my favorite paper in any Bible. The paper is thick and opaque, and has a deep cream tint. The ruled lines are narrow ruled, so you’ll have to write small. They are 2 inches wide and have a line for every line of text. The outside margins are lined for writing. It makes the text much more readable because it feels natural. Verses that are Old Testament quotes are centered, making them stand out from the rest of the passage.
The text is in single column, paragraph format. The bold headings stand out and help break up the page, giving it a better designed look. Bold verse numbers greatly help when looking for specific verses. The verse numbers and headings in the text are even bolder. If I could make one change it might be to increase the font size, but this small text will not keep me from using it. I usually want a larger print font, but I haven’t had any trouble reading this text (except for after a long day of looking at a computer screen). I’ve seen reports of around 7.5 but that could be the leading. The font is small, but it’s still very easy to read because it’s sharp and bold. You won’t have to hold the Bible open to write in Genesis or Revelation. The binding is sewn, allowing it to stay open and lay flat when opened to any page. It has an elastic strap to keep the Bible closed. It seems to be durable this Bible is meant to be used. I’m reviewing the black Moleskine edition.
