ESV Illuminated Bible, Art Journaling Edition by
5.0
This edition is stunning. Each book has a custom illustration on the title page as well as other illustrations spread throughout the Bible, including hand-lettered verses written in the margins. The margins are wide and leave plenty of room for taking notes or journaling. Although the pages are so much prettier than my usual Bible, I almost didn’t want to take a pen to it!
Like most Bibles the pages are thin, but it doesn’t seem like it will easily rip while reading. The pages that have the full page illustrations do show through on the back slightly. But the illustrations are so beautiful that I don’t mind.
A single-column paragraph format is used as opposed to the double-column. This is the perfect Bible for reading or taking notes in at church, but it does lack cross-references, so it may not be ideal for in-depth study. The font size is not too small and easy to read, 9-point for those who are interested. The Bible is in English Standard Version which is one of my favorites to study!
I love the research that went into the illustrations and lettering, especially symbols that are relevant to the text.
I haven’t seen a Bible quite like this one before. If you are into Bible journaling you may like this Bible or you may find it too beautiful to mark up. This would make the perfect gift for a loved one.
