Font sizes are a problem

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a brilliant study bible, and probably the best currently available. For that, it deserves six stars. Maybe even more.

But. And it is a huge but. Or perhaps better to say, it is a tiny but.

The fonts are too small for anyone other than gifted with Superman powered sight. And, worse than that, the logic for what is in normal and what is in small type is, I suggest, totally wrong.

Forgive me for saying this, but I don't need another Bible. I didn't buy this book as a Bible. I bought it for the commentary, the study notes, and all the supplementary materials. So - here's the thing - I didn't really care how small the font is for the Bible text. What was/is vitally important to me though is to be able to easily read the wonderful variety of notes and references.

But the book is set so the Bible text is tiny 9 point, and the references are 7 point, which is beyond small. Indeed, I think some parts of the references are even smaller - the official description claims 7 point, but how is it some parts of the references are smaller than others?

This would have been so much more useful and user-friendly with the font sizes swapped. Or with the font just larger. It isn't and never will be a pocket bible, so why try and squash it down to 'only' 3000 pages and 4 lbs. Give us a larger page size, give us more pages, and give us larger font. Please. Or even split it into two volumes.

Yes, I know. There are large font versions of this excellent work. So I'm returning this edition and have ordered the large font version. Costs twice as much, but if it is actually approachable and able to be easily read, it will be worth every penny of it.

I urge you to skip the standard edition and go straight to the large font edition, too.

Fantastic Study Bible, Do the Research

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'll start by saying this is one of top study bibles available in the market today, if not the best. It is beautiful in both it's content and quality.

As other reviewers have pointed out, the reviews you see under this item cover a wide variety of ESV Study Bibles by Crossway so it is important to note which bible they are reviewing, or take this into consideration when reading reviews by those who do not mention the specific product they are reviewing. I understand these are all the same "ESV Study Bible", but it could be any number of cover styles, sizes, or even vintages (year published).

I purchased two of these ESV Study Bibles because I, like many of you, had no idea whether to get the personal size or the regular size bible (not talking about the large print version). I love them both, but as you'll see in a bit, I do favor one.
- ESV Study Bible (TruTone, Olive, Celtic Cross Design) March 30, 2018
- ESV Study Bible, Personal Size (TruTone, Brown, Mosaic Cross Design) April 30, 2018

There are a significant number of online reviews regarding the content, translation, and pretty much everything else about the bible - just do a Google search and you'll find them. However, I want to focus on the size diffs.

I felt like the personal size was a perfect fit to carry around. Yes, it is thick, but not too heavy and not too tall to be that noticeable while walking around. The regular size, however, does feel substantially larger in both thickness and height, making it a bit more awkward to lug around. For this reason, if you plan to take the bible with you wherever you go, a point goes to the personal size bible.

The paper in the regular size bible is ever so slightly thicker. This is one of the reasons the regular size bible ends up being noticeably thicker. It makes any bleed-thru almost unnoticeable. In the personal size bible you do see a little of the print from the opposite side of the page, but it's really not that bad, including the beautiful color images throughout.

But now to the big point (pun kind of intended) -- I have good vision, and while I could read the font in the personal size bible, I needed good lighting, the bible needed to be relatively close, and I had to work a bit. It wasn't relaxing. You can do the research to get the actual font sizes, but since this is the regular version simply 'shrunk to fit' the smaller size, it is very small. If you want to simulate the text size, zoom your browser down to about 70% of normal and that's about right (depending on your screen resolution of course).

It's funny because now when I look at the regular size version, the scripture text (the bible itself) actually seems large. But for me, a study bible is very much about the study notes, and in the regular size bible these are a perfect size. As the publishers of this bible say in the intro, the words of God are the most important, so the study text should be smaller. I agree, but in the personal size version of this bible it took some 'work' to read these study notes. The regular sized version is very comfortable and relaxing to read, I can read in lower light with no problem, and I feel like I can hold or set the bible at farther distances away and still very comfortably read the text. Same is true for the references and foot notes, which are so super-small in the personal size that I am less likely to use them than in the regular size version.

Both bibles feel great as you work with them, and also because they are the TruTone covers, they lay flat on the table or in your lap perfectly. The content is similar, but there are a few things omitted from the Personal Size bible. Nothing you can't find on the Crossway online presence (Crossway.org), and it really doesn't take away from the overall bible. For example, there is a reading plan in the regular size but not in the personal size, the concordance is slightly smaller in the personal size, and a few articles are not included in the personal size. I hesitate a bit because I understand this varies depending on the year the bible was produced. a 2011 bible will be slightly different than the 2019 vintage. Part of this is due to the nature of the ESV (there are very minimal updates they do every so often to the translation).

Anyway... You really can't go wrong with either size. If you want more portable and you are comfortable with smaller text then go for the personal size. If you don't mind a larger bible and want a super-comfortable read, then get the regular size. I will note that I do not have the large print version so I cannot speak to how that compares.

In summary, my end goal is to keep the regular sized ESV Study Bible for research and study at home, then get an RL Allan leather-bound 'regular'/non-study bible to carry around with me. If anyone from RL Allan reads this, absolutely, thank you for asking, I would love to review or try one of your bound bibles! Hehe...

Yes we are spoiled in today's world to even have these choices, but I am ok with that, especially if it helps even in the smallest way to share in biblical (or in this case actual bible) - related conversations.

Do NOT purchase the newer, indexed version - index tabs are way off

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

I just received the indexed study bible, and the indexed pages are completely off except for Genesis and the Concordance. It is missing the tab for Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. So when you go to Numbers where you should see this tab, you see the tab for Judges, Ruth, and Samuel instead. I've attached a photo showing this. That means all subsequent tabs are incorrect until you get to the Concordance. I am shocked by the lack of QC and am returning this right away.

Large Print Edition Review

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

the font size is perfect - largest for the scriptures and smaller, but still readable, for the study notes.
the binding is sturdy.
the room left on the pages for notes is minimum at best (i don't feel i could make notes in the margins).
you do not get a free access to the ESV Study Bible online - it is only free for 30 days and then it requires a monthly payment of $3 or $4 depending if you want Preaching Commentaries or not.
when you buy a print edition you can buy the Kindle edition for $2.99 and i highly recommend buy it.

my biggest problem is the paper used - it is hands down the lowest quality paper i have ever seen in a bible (and i own lots of bibles). This bible will not stand up to the test of time. i feel like i need to wear gloves when reading the bible because the pages will be weakened by the oils in the skin. i also feel like i need to turn the pages as if i'm reading an ancient bible because these pages will rip if you do not turn them with perfect care and attention. i also would not makes notes (even if there was room in the margins for notations) because the medium used to make those marks will damage or weaken the pages.

i am so disappointed by the quality of pages used since so much effect was put into the ESV translation, into the study notes, the diagrams, the maps, the articles, etc yet they used the lowest quality paper for such an amazing project.

i understand that the paper used determines the size and weight of a book but Crossway went to far by choosing such a low quality paper that they rendered the book unusable.

i'm torn on if i should return the bible since i purchased the kindle edition for $2.99 - if you return a Kindle Book Match Amazon will charge you full price on the kindle edition.

Every Christian should have one

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2020

Although I'd read the Bible before, the level of insight you gain from the commentary in this Study Bible is amazing - I'm learning new things every time I use it.

I especially like how the commentary gives links to other relevant passages of the Bible, which really helps with understanding things, especially from a historical point of view.

I've only gone through Deuteronomy, Joshua and Judges on an in-depth study level so far, but I've used this Bible to look up other verses I'd had questions about, and there doesn't seem to be any denominational bias - it just exegesises the text itself, which is always good.

The only thing I would do differently if I was to buy one again ( and this is NOT a negative of this Bible itself, but rather a personal preference) is that I would buy a leather bound one to fit in better with my other Bibles. The hardcover is good, it's just an aesthetic matter.

ESV Study Bible - Personal Size TruTone, brown/cordovanle

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

This bible is very well produced. The paper is thin, but that is unavoidable with so many pages. The printing quality is excellent and there are many coloured maps. The notes are numerous and extensive, the numbers of words in the notes often exceeding those in the bible text. The notes are written from a conservative perspective, though mainstream views, where different are often mentioned, There are cross references and a number of articles on topics likely to interest readers. The ESV is based on the RSV, which was a well regarded version. It has been updated to excellent modern English which seems to be generally regarded as accurate and clear, though as a literal translation it is inevitably harder to read than the NIV. Being a product of conservative thinking it has altered some translations in the RSV, which conservatives found offensive. There is an issue regarding the NIV, which goes beyond simple translation in places to change the meaning of the text, so that different passages in the bible do not conflict with each other. Fundamentalists perhaps regard this as "correcting" the text, but I think this goes beyond the job of a translator. I have no reason to suspect ESV does not translated the text accurately. The notes are written from a conservative point of view; if one wanted a mainstream scholarly study bible, the Oxford Annotated Bible or the Harper Collins Study Bible would be good choises. These both contain the NRSV which is well respected by scholars. Recommended.

ESV Trutone Olive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2011

First thing I have to comment on is how light this is compared to the standard ESV study bible. You couldnt really sit with the Big Hardcover bible on your lap without eventually getting a dead leg. But this really is small, its standard bible sized, just quite thick about three times as thick as a normal bible. The pages are really floppy! The design is beautiful, I have had people comment on how nice it looks. This really is a premium bible.

The study notes are completely readable, as well as the bible text. It makes me wonder why they even bothered with the hardcover because this is much better, I understand some essays were removed so the study bible could be shrunk down to this size, I dont feel much has been lost, especially not for all you gain. My feeling is this is the Geneva Bible of the 21st century, at least for it being a 21st century bible sized STUDY BIBLE. Many say the ESV study bible is the best study bible, now its bible sized!!

Great Study Bible. Packed with awesome information and essays. The ESV is a great translation too.

Pros:
Great Translation
Excellent Commentary
Great Book Introductions including useful Timeline
Essays about lots of topical issues such as Christianity on other religions, abortion, marriage, divorce
TruTone is a great cover

Cons:
Extremely big bible
Could do with more word studies throughout like the NKJV Study Bible
Concordance is too small
For a book with nearly 3,000 pages, it could do with more than 1 page marker ribbon

I honestly thing every bible student should have one. Event if it isn't your daily, or even main study bible, it's great to refer to. The hardback is extremely affordable.

Great Study Bible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a great study Bible, I use it for serious study alongside my NLT Study Bible and NIV. I think it is important to use a range of translations from more literal ones (like the ESV) to meaning for meaning (like the NLT and NIV). Study Bibles are also invaluable, and this one is great. It has lots of helpful notes, maps and charts - I've only given it 4 stars because of the translation itself.

If you are looking for a study Bible based on a literal translation, I think you can't really do better than the ESV Study Bible - highly recommended.
