Your videos are absolutely Wonderful! Great details information about different Bible’s Makers! Your videos are my favorite!! You are so organized in the Bible solo reviews, as well in the ones you’re comparing different Bibles! This is SO helpful! Thank you! Thank you!

Great review as always! I love that both companies make smaller companion Bibles with the same page layouts.

Great content s as always! These videos have helped me in making my decision in purchasing my forever Bible

My first Schuyler Bible purchase arrived today. Oh, my goodness! I bought the ESV Wide Margin Bible with a dark green goatskin cover. I am going to love this Bible. Thank you for all your reviews.

I just got a Schuyler ESV Wide Margin in Black Pearl. My older eyes need the 9.5 point type. Like all my Schuyler's it rocks! Thanks for helping me to decide, Tim. Grace and peace to you and Becca!

Love both Bibles! Great review!

I just bought the Cambridge in the esv. I liked how it was thinner than a few of the other options

Hi Tim, great comparison, thank you. At 61 l’ve stopped buying Bibles with less than a 10 pt font. Your review makes me wish l was 40 again. Blessings - John

I am suddenly a lover of Yapp. I'm not sure I'm ready for the full yapp but I do appreciate small yapps that I get on some of the more expensive Bibles. Even Nelson and Zondervan. I also prefer colourful covers and 2 colours in inside.

I love how the Schuyler has headings within the text. I know they aren't originally there, but it makes it so much easier to locate scriptures. Also, I like how it breaks up sections. When I open a page in my KJV Pitt Minion that is nothing but continuous text from a single chapter, it just looks like a wall of words that is overwhelming/overstimulating. Maybe it's silly, but it really stresses me out and makes it hard for me to want to read my KJV. I tend to reach for my NLT Pitt Minion just because the headings make it more digestible and give me small victories throughout chapters. I also have ADHD and reading is a struggle in the first place. Thanks for the review.

I do love both of these, and the thicker paper on the schuyler is nice, but I just don't think I can reconcile the difference in size. The margin space is a bit nicer on the schuyler, but to be quite honest the Cambridge paper and margin space is totally sufficient.

I just can't understand why Schuyler prints the concordance as small as they do. On the balance I think the Cambridge Wide Margin remains the gold standard of wide margin Bibles. They have been so helpful to me, I am thankful for them.

Pretty Bibles. I love that art gilding!

I like 11 point FONT for reading. Can go with 10.5 in comfort PRINT or even 8.5 in PSQ.

I just love your reviews! If I need more info I go to your blog! I have a Schuyler wide margin NASB. I replaced my 15 year old NASB wide margin that I purchased while at a Kay Arthur weekend conference. It is so full that I had to replace it. I like the Schuyler, bite having a hard time getting myself to write in it. I may get the NASB Scripture Journals so I can leave the Bible to my son with clean margins. Do you do reviews on commentaries, dictionaries, and concordance’s? I checked your blog and could not find anything. What would you suggest that would work with all different Bible versions? Thanks for the great comparison! Awesome review as usual! ✝️

I don't own a Cambridge wide margin, but I do have a Schuyler NASB wide margin. It's a beautiful bible, but it's very big and bulky, and very heavy. It never leaves my desk, and I couldn't see myself taking it anywhere. But, it's a wide margin; portability wasn't my primary consideration when buying it. The Cambridge looks a little more portable to me, and I like that I could travel with it. I'm 67, still with good eyesight, thank God, but 8 point font is borderline too small for me for reading and studying for any length of time, or late in the day. I do own other Cambridge bibles, all excellent quality, and the NKJV is my favorite translation. So color me torn lol. Thanks for your review, Tim, very well done, and very informative. Answered a lot of questions for me. I enjoyed it, enjoy all your reviews.

I subscribed to see if you have reviewed any large print study Bibles. That's the jumping off spot for me. Then the wish list gets longer! :)

I was really interested in the Cambridge Wide Margin NKJV Bible, and like that it has red lettering in the NT, but the font is too small for my aging eyes. Great comparison between the two. Currently, I’m writing in my CBP KJV Cowhide Note Taker’s Bible, but I’ve run out of room in some NT books like Ephesians and Galatians and some others, plus all my notes in the front and back blank pages of the CBP Bible. CBP Bibles have unfortunately out priced themselves so I will also choose Schuyler over their Water Buffalo cover Bibles.

So, I love the Schuylers. I have a Quentel and a PSQ. But, I grab my Pitt Minion more than I grab my PSQ (paper is so thin!). I love my Quentel, but I'm in love with my NRSV Cambridge. So, I like to look at the Schuylers, but I love using my Cambridges. With the 40 GSM paper, I think that I'd enjoy reading/using the Schuyler Wide Margin (if they ever released one in NRSV or NIV).

Schuyler should do more red letter text editions

I had my heart set on a Cambridge for a long time, but that Schuyler is.....well, it's nice.

I recently commented on a Schuyler post asking about an NKJV wide-margin, and they said one would be coming out in the fall! Hopefully that doesn't get delayed with COVID

I want both, but I would go Schuyler. For this type of Bible, I would put font size and readability over overall size and portability. It would be hard for me to have a skinny 8 point font on main daily driver Bible. That would not be ideal to me-I don’t think I would enjoy it as much. Most importantly though is that the Schuyler has good margins on all four sides. I have a CBP cameo wide margin (which may be my all time favorite). It has one inch even margins on all four sides, and I find is it more efficient and feels more natural to write notes along the top and bottom margins. Writing the length of the page (or half the page) feels much more natural than writing only four or five words in a line, and creating a vertical column on the outside margin. That’s just not how we naturally write. All the power to those that prefer that though.

I have owned two Cambridge NASB wide margins. Wonderful Bible. However at age 65, the print size is shrinking. I’m thinking my next purchase will be a Schuyler wide margin because it has larger print.

Nelson has a beautiful NKJV wide margin. In big PRINT and good paper for much less money.

Hi Tim! I think I'd go with the Schuyler NASB mainly because of the font size and the looks of the book itself. However I don't understand the logic of all those blank pages in a wide margin Bible. Nor do I like Schuyler's tiny font size in the concordance. It's practically illegible without a magnifying glass. Why not just exclude it? Which reminds me; whatever happened to the Thintel? I don't see that on the website anymore. Or am I just missing it?

I really want this Schuyler but I feel like if I buy it then the 2020 NASB translation will get released the next day because I have the worst luck. I have never had the NASB but feel like this would be good to study. I also would give anything for a blue credo Schuyler. Tim, can you use your magical powers to make it happen?

I purchased the Cambridge WM, but sent it back. The font was just too small for me. Just ordered the Schuyler, but it looks like a monster, I wish the Cambridge font was just a bit larger. It would have been perfect for me.

Thank you.

Does the wide margin NASB still contain the full translation notes? I am eventually going to get a wide margin but I'm undecided on what translation to get. Part of me leans toward the NASB due to it being more exact (even at the expense of passage flow) in word usage, etc.

I have just started using wide margin Bibles and have the Cambridge wide margin and an Crossway wide margin. I think the only reason I might like the Schuyler is the thicker paper. But I'm not disappointed by the cambridge !!

I've been trying to get my first premium Bible. I really want the Schuyler, but i just don't think I can do it with out the red letter.

I own both. I am much happier with Schuyler. The bigger font in Schuyler makes a big difference. The Cambridge is too small for me in the print size and it caused a readability issue - I am in my 40s. Also the small space between the lines adds to readability problem. Schuyler has more space between the lines. Cambridge does have some beautiful features such as very good maps, concordance, quality paper and it opens flatter than the Schuyler. It was hard to give up on the Cambridge because it is a beautiful Bible.

I do wish that Schuyler would give the option of a 36 GSM paper or a 28. I think they would sell more Bibles that way I don't care if they're thick because I don't take them out of the house anyway.

when will christmas bible giveaway start

Two Beautiful Bibles. So hard to compare. Nice Video!

I have the Eagle but I just can't bring myself to write in it lol, no chance I could write in that beautiful Schuyler.

I own both. Font is to small in both but my vision is terrible lol. With my glasses on I can read the smaller Cambridge font just fine. I prefer Cambridge due to the thinner smaller size. The Schuyler bible is just to big and writing in the gutter margin is terribly difficult compared to Cambridge. I give a Schuyler an edge in premium quality especially when paired with a PSQ for EDC purposes. I give Cambridge an edge in practicality and portability especially when paired with a Pit Minion.

I own both. I prefer Cambridge. It’s way lighter, lays flatter. Schuyler inside margin is hard to write in because the spines are stiff. Schuyler is a heavy brick. I don’t take it anywhere. Beautiful bible though.

I would buy a 10.5 Nelson PREMIER.. WM..GOATSKIN.. Bigger FONT than Cambridge or Schuyler. In fact I have bot it already. AND with RED hi-lites inside.

Should have compared Cambridge NASB WM with Schuyler Q WM. 😛

Synthetic liner on Cambridge I’m not a fan, but the size is nicer for sure..... synthetic liner kills it.

Does someone make premium Latin-English bibles or Latin bibles?

I love the Schuyler maps. Easier on the eyes to me. I think the Cambridge maps are too saturated.

I can’t make up my mind! I want the Cambridge, the Allen, and the Schyuler!!!

Schuyler, hands down. Layout, larger font, space to write.

BLUE IS beautiful in Schuyler. WM.

Me: Who will save the margin Cambridge and Schuyler: Hold my drink

Schuyler hands down, x2 the quality, no comparison at all. If you want “True” Quality get a Schuyler.

I have become a Schuyler fan after your reviews and finally purchasing one. Poor quality and one I’ll be happy to leave my children.

Schuyler is the clear winner for me! The only point that goes for Cambridge is thd conconcordance. Everything else goes to the Schuyler.

your tatoos are not biblical.
