Main bibles I use are the Esv single column one, esv Study Bible, and yes, my Ryrie Study in Nas, as that was my first leather bound one.I don't mean how many translations, but how many physical bibles? I'm juggling 3 or 4 right now, and I wonder if I'm unusual and maybe even a bit covetous when it comes to high end, well-made bibles.
Curious to hear from any of you. Thanks.
In my case too many to list, and I too have felt that covetousness may be involved. I can say the same for the theological library I've put together.I don't mean how many translations, but how many physical bibles?

The Bibles done by LCP in Lansing Mi are all top notch, as they should cost hundreds of dollars.Two physical ones:
The top one is Hebrew and Greek that I had bound in leather years ago.
The bottom one is a KJV from Local Church Publishing. I've had it for many years--it's leather bound and very sturdy. I think I paid $40 for it and this item is still under $50. I've never seen anything similar to it in price in other translations.
I use other non-physical bibles regularly: Bibleworks and eSword on my computer, a Kindle KJV, ESV, and NKJV version on my phone, etc.
Is that Zondervan one the edition by DA Carson?RHB KJV SB on my desk; plus my Greek NT's and a Hebrew OT.
ESV SB and NIV Zondervan SB's on my standing desk.
Pulpit/EDC Bible is an ESV New Classic Reference.
Small ESV I use for visiting hospitals or doing graveside services.
About 25 other translations on the shelf in my Study for reference.
My Dad's old KJV and my childhood 1977 NASB on my bedside table.
I'm a little Bible-obsessed.
Do you find a big difference between the 2 Niv study bibles?I have the old NIV SB edited by Kenneth Barker that I bought in 1986, and the new one (2011 text) edited by D.A. Carson. The 'new' one weighs 5 pounds and is over 2" thick. I also have the electronic edition through Olive Tree Bible on my phone, and use that more than the hard copy. On sale right now 63% off .

Both the Esv SB and Zondervan Niv SB have really good notes in them and articles, and basically to me boils down to which translation preferred, and for me its the Esv.Yes, David it is.
Yes, the new edition is more comprehensive in terms of the study notes, and the additional study materials/features included. I've been looking for my '84 NIV SB and I can't find it, but the new one is larger in size, though the old one was a handful by itself.Do you find a big difference between the 2 Niv study bibles?
David, found the '84 NIV SB. Weighs 3 pounds compared with the new one @ 5 pounds. It is 1 3/4" thick compared to the new @ 2 1/2". They are both about 9x6 text blocks, but the new one has 2,879 pages compared to 1,928 for the old edition. Obviously much more content and more detailed notes.Do you find a big difference between the 2 Niv study bibles?
