Designed for private study and public devotions, the text is set in a comfortable reading size. The words of Christ are in red, as are chapter and verse numbers, to aid navigation.

The red letter is a bit fuzzy at times, I found one typo (missing space), other than that it’s great and has been my glovebox bible for maybe 6 months (will be for at least another year). I wasn’t sure what to think about the calf split but after using it I like it, grippy like a NIB basketball and stiff enough to hold up being jostled in a glovebox longterm, not to floppy in hand when broken in, carries well and doesn’t roll around when mishandled (always a worry around small kids, or carrying them and dropping the bible occasionally). I like this better than the NASB stridon as the stridon is ghosty a/f and cambridge offers more opaque cream paper with bolder darker font that is especially helpful with the red letter (cambridge uses blood red instead of fuschia variants like most, and offers red when others don’t, and NASB 2020 doesn’t have a lot of options, so this wins by default IMO). So far the cover shows no wear, in over a year, in happy with it.

If, like me, you are a Bible lover who prefers a verse-by-verse layout over a paragraph-oriented format, then the Cambridge Topaz may very well be the perfect Bible for you. The Topaz has it all: large, clear easy-to-read font, silky smooth paper, words of Christ in a pleasing dark red, and the kind of quality one can expect from Cambridge, 2KDenmark, and Royal Jongbloed.
I won’t go into detail about the pros and cons of the NASB2020 version, or the various features of the Cambridge Topaz. Other reviewers have already done that. All I want to say is that the NASB2020 Topaz is a delight to hold and to read. The brown calf split leather binding is exquisite, and in my recent review on evangelicalbible.com of the new Cambridge CSB Diadem, I mentioned how wonderful the calf split leather feels in the hand, how it softens with use and yet remains firm. This is a particularly desirable characteristic of this leather for me because I am one of those who prefers holding an open Bible in one hand. The calf split leather Topaz lies open completely flat in one hand without any floppiness at all. This is in marked contrast to my ESV Topaz in blue goatskin which feels very floppy when held in one hand, and one almost gets the sense that it will easily slip out of your grasp and fall to the floor!
Unlike many other Bibles, the NASB2020 Topaz does not include a concordance, but instead features a 133-page Topical Index. I find this index to be a very thorough and welcome addition for Bible study. The Cambridge Topaz is a remarkable Bible for both preaching and teaching. I highly recommend it.
