   I received my Bible in a week packed securely. This is my first Schuyler Bible and I am thrilled! Love the color and the feel of the leather. I love earth tones and was immediately drawn to the dark green. My only concern before purchasing was if it would look like Christmas colors with the green leather and red art gilding. LOL. But, not at all. It is stunning! The font is so easy to read and the Bible is comfortable to hold. The size is perfect. The quality is outstanding. The only thing I would add is a semi or full yapp. Other than that, for me it is perfect. I’m so glad I purchased this Bible.

   I already own a Schuyler personal size NKJV Quentel in navy calfskin (which I reviewed in November 2018). I was so impressed with this beautiful little Bible that I wanted the larger Quentel in goatskin for everyday home study. I initially was going to get an ESV version, mainly because I don’t yet have a bible in that translation, but this green NKJV in goatskin was on sale, and, besides already loving the translation, the color intrigued me. I am so very happy I purchased this bible. It more than met my expectations! I almost gasped at the beauty of it when I first took it out of the box. The color combination of the dark green cover with dark brown calfskin lining, gold bookmarks and gold art gilding over the page edges are simply stunning.The 11 pt. font is wonderful to read, and the page paper is a little thicker than the personal size , making it easier to turn the pages without damage. Of course the goatskin leather cover is soft and supple.

   One side benefit to choosing the NKJV over the ESV that I intended to buy is that it allows me to take advantage of the page matching feature between the regular sized and personal sized Quentel. I will be interested to see how that works out.

   I was also very pleased with the prompt service Evangelical Bible.com provided (thanks, Kathleen!). I ordered this on Dec. 29th and received it in only 2 days.

   The only minus for me (purely preference) is that this is a black letter edition, and I prefer red letter. It certainly wasn’t a deal breaker for me, though. The red print accents of the chapter and page numbers are enough to satisfy me. The red accents in the concordance are particularly helpful for locating words and verses.

   I highly recommend this beautiful Bible if you’re looking for beauty, top quality and durability.

   A Different Angle

   I just received my Dark Green Quentel and like everyone else… just WOW. However, I am not going to go into typical descriptions of the incredible Goatskin, features, font, etc., because if you’re reading this, you probably already know all about the SQ. 🙂

   So I want to come from another angle – the colors.

   Many of us grew up with 3 colors to choose from – Black, blacker, blackest. 🙂 Then burgundy/brown made its way to the party and made things more interesting. But still, not much to choose from. Now? There is almost every color under the sun…Almost.

   And that is why I went with the Schuyler Quentel – aside from the phenomenal craftsmanship, AND black letter text, they offered the color I have wanted for YEARS in my 2nd favorite translation (CEB is my favorite but oh what abysmal editions): A NKJV in Dark Green Natural Grain Goatskin.

   So why Green? I am a nature fanatic, especially trees and birds, and spend as much time outdoors in natural settings as I can. Green is the perfect representation of nature. And Autumn is my favorite time of year. Like many, I have always felt closest to God in nature. I love walking through the woods in Autumn, leaves rustling, fresh cool air, and stunning colors all around me as I talk with my Creator. But trying to study your bible out there could be some task! But with the Dark Green Quentel, nature has come to me.

   The combination of colors in this bible is just astonishing and is like having an Autumn tree in my hands every single time I open my bible – Dark green cover, brown liner, red and gold art gilt page edges, burnt red font sprinkled throughout the pages, and 3 ribbons of different shades of gold! I am SO thankful I chose this Bible.

   So never underestimate the aesthetic and tactile pleasure of a Bible. It can truly enhance and even change one’s entire spiritual experience with the Word of God. And the SQ Dark Green Goatskin has done exactly that for me.

   Just received my new Dark Green Bible and am very impressed… I’ve had many Bibles through the years but nothing like this. There’s just a different feel in the hand… almost like it’s padded.
   Readability is outstanding, with the font size just right.
   Yes, they are but in the spendy side, but I would buy it again no questions asked.

   Thanks to Beth and the rest of the team.

   The best New King James out there!

   I was looking for the best gift Bible in the NKJV for a family member. It’s not the translation I use so I did some digging. After lots of research I had a list of requirements the book must meet:

   -Strong yet flexible goatskin leather cover
   -Perimeter stitching for added cover durability
   -Opaque, thicker-than-onion paper with line matching to minimize ghosting
   -Smyth-sewn binding so the page signatures don’t come unglued and fall out
   -10pt+ font in legible type, with enough space for the text to breathe
   -Full leather lining, tabbed into the book block

   The number of Bibles that met this were very few and quite expensive. Especially rare was the perimeter stitching coupled with decent-sized font. Lo and behold, I saw this Schuyler advertised and that was that!
   It fulfilled and indeed exceeded all expectations. The custom text layout is easily the prettiest I’ve seen in any high-end Bible. I was impressed by the dark green dye on the goatskin; I had never seen this before and didn’t know if I would like it but in person it is simply fantastic. If you’re looking for “the one” Bible to last you forever, buy a Quentel from 2016 or newer. You can identify these by the raised ribs on the spine. I think I’m in love.

   Disclaimer: I bought this from a third party seller, but liked it so much I went back and bought a Quentel in the English Standard Version for myself from EvangelicalBible.com.

   Design – 5/5
   Printing – 5/5
   Durability/Materials – 5/5
   Size – 3/5
   Overall Quality – 5/5

   The Schuyler Quentel is a beautiful, high quality Bible. The design of the cover, the print format, and the materials used are all top notch. It is a solid, large Bible with large print. For those who want something easier to travel with and do not need such large print, the Personal Size Quentel NKJV (due in October of 2018) will likely be a good choice. Evangelicalbible.com is doing a fantastic job of providing premium Bibles for a wide variety of taste and needs.

   Kudos to evangelical bible for prompt service. I ordered this bible on a Tuesday and it arrive at my home in Kansas on Thursday.

   This is without doubt the most elegant reference bible I have ever seen or handled. I really admire Schuyler for hiring the best designers out there to design this bible. I normally prefer single column editions, to my surprise however, I found myself really liking this setting.

   Material wise this bible is very nice. Many people have commented on the beautiful leather that they used. It is true that it is very nice leather. I think that more people should brag on the paper that they used. It is extraordinary how soft it feels. This coupled with the thicker paper and the line matching make ghosting unnoticeable.

   This bible, while I feel it deserves five stars, does have a few things I wish were different. I don’t deduct a star for these issues because they are just personal preference. They have nothing to do with the quality or excellence of this bible.
   1. I wish the Schuyler logo on the bottom of the spine would be a touch smaller. It seems a little big and gaudy to me.
   2. The ribbons are nice and thick, but i would have preferred them to be angle cut.
   3. I would like to see a full yapp cover being an option on these.
   Again, these are only personal preferences. I see no issues at all with the quality of this bible. I feel confident that I will use and enjoy this bible for many years.

    This just looks and feels like a Bible should look and feel. The green leather is dark with just the right amount of firmness. It has a heft that lets you know it’s a book of substance. The typesetting is great, no distractions in the margins from references. The font size is perfect, very readable even without bifocals. It just feels like a Bible should feel…substantive. Very well done, this is now my favorite Bible.

    When I buy a Bible I am first looking at quality. I want the best paper, leather, etc. that I can get. Secondly, and most importantly, is readability. I read my Bibles often so I need a nice font in a nice readable size. I currently have four Quentels and they are far and away my favorite Bibles. My main Bible is an Allen Longprimer but only because there is no KJV Quentel as of yet. I rate the Quentel series of Bibles as my very favorite. I also really appreciate the two column paragraph format and the red letter feature which is so uncommon in high quality Bibles. I couldn’t be more pleased with this Quentel Bible.

    What can I say!
    To start with, delivered all the way from America to my sleepy village in England in under a week!!
    This Bible is just sublime in every way. I have many bibles including Cambridge and Allen.
    But the Quentel is superb, craftsmanship, quality and built to last.
    The typeface is so clear and easy to read for my fifty year old eyes.
    If you can spend that bit more on a bible then this is the one.
    Thank you

    Wow! This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures and hype actually live up to reality. Without a doubt, this is the best Bible I have ever owned. This is better than my Allen longprimer by a fair margin. The leather is supple, yet tough. It is a joy to read do to the excellent text block. The words seem to poor off the page when I read it. I mean that in a good way. It’s a pretty heavy Bible. A bit larger than I’d prefer but it’s no big deal. I’m thinking of getting the blue one as well just because I like the green one so much. Expensive? Yes. But I think it’s worth it. I’m glad I decided to come back to the NKJV. I will also note that the Schuyler version has removed the triquetra which I am thankful for. I highly recommend this Bible. This is the Bible I been looking for for years.

    Wow! What a great and beautiful copy of God’s Word! I have never written a review of the previous Bibles purchased through evangelicalbible.com, thinking I really have nothing more to add, to all the other wonderful reviews that I have seen over the years. Then I thought, I personally love reading the reviews and really look forward to reading each of the reviews that come in about these incredible editions of God’s Word! So I decided to write a review and share my thoughts and to concur with all my brother and sisters in Christ, who appreciate these beautiful copies of HIS Word! You would think, that they, being the manufacturers, like Allan, Schuyler, Cambridge, Crossway and others could do nothing better than they have done already or something different than before – and then this edition hits the market! Again WOW! I love God’s Word, we’re so privileged to be able to carry a copy of it anytime and anywhere in this Country without persecution or death! To be able to get a refined copy of HIS precious Word like this, there are no words to really describe it, besides WOW! From the materials used to construct it, to the font, the line matching, how the resources within this copy are laid out, from the references and chapter numbers and to the “red letter” print, there is only one word, again -WOW! When reading God’s Word each and everyday, it makes a difference when it is designed to be read, as this edition has been designed to be read- with enjoyment and with seriousness. Charles Spurgeon quoted the following, “a Bible that is falling apart, probably belongs to a person who is not!” Spurgeon would agree, if this Schuyler edition of the Bible would have fallen apart, then the person who would be holding this edition would be one POWERFUL Believer!!! God’s Word should be treasured and captured in a volume that has been designed with such care and quality, as this edition has. We appreciate you, Schuyler Bible for producing such a quality copy of HIS precious Word and to you Evangelicalbible.com for your passion to obtain these, and for your care and concern in placing these quality Bibles in the hands of people who really appreciate a impeccable copy of HIS Word! Again, wow and thank you!

    This Bible is superb in every detail. The leather is flexible and gorgeous, and I love the perimeter stitching. The text block is perfect, crystal clear and easy to read. I like the red numbers which start each chapter. They are a tasteful red, not garish at all, and blend with the text beautifully. The paper is of excellent quality and off-white so it is not glaringly white as in some Bibles. The gold-coloured ribbons compliment the green beautifully. It is comfortable to hold in the hand when reading. All in all, there is only one word to describe it – exquisite. And I think the price is extremely reasonable for what you get.
