It is fantastic phenomenon of our present world that humanity now possesses some 2000 million copies of the Scriptures in thousands of languages and thousands of editions.
On the other hand we should not forget that the Bible is a very difficult book to read. The Scriptures cannot just be read, they must be studied. It is advisable for new Bible readers that they should first get acquainted with the main story line of the Bible’s 66 books. its main characters (God, Jesus Christ, Abraham, Moses, etcetera) and its main concepts (sin, forgiveness, eternal life, etcetera). They can do this through a Bible course or through an introduction to the Bible in the form of a book or a website

That’d be great, Esteban, because one thing we need for the other site is photos of the burgundy OSB…

You know what I forgot to do during my recent picture taking binge? Take pictures of my copy of this Bible. I shall do so in the next round!

In general, REB OSB’s are not easy to find, especially in high quality genuine leather smyth-sewn. I’m glad you found one for yourself. It really does looks pretty nifty with the emblem on the front.

You asked on my blog if the older OSB hardbacks had sewn bindings.

I don’t think the older hardbacks had sewn bindings. I looked at my NEB Oxford Study Edition (the earlier edition of the Oxford Study Bible) and noticed it had a glued binding. I think Oxford has been pushing glued bindings quite a while.

That's amusing; the one part I don't like. This one is nicer than my REB which has both the medallion and the words The Revised English Bible above it (see here).

A wonderful Bible, and the medallion on the front is quite handsome.

Nice job. I love bibles! Tempted to save for one of these, but at last there are a few other projects at the moment that I am saving for.

Ok, I’ll get off my butt and photograph my HCSB legacy bible. I will also write what I think about it as well. Here is the teaser trailer – it is awesome!

Thanks, Iyov. I anticipate putting it to good use for a very long time.

After seeing the images it looks to be made better than mine. I’ll keep an eye out, but now that I’ve got one already most of my money is probably going towards Greek resources.
