Description
The new and updated Stridon ESV is our same popular verse-by-verse, single column layout but updated with a more opaque 36 GSM paper, substantially wider margins, and makes use of the 2025 ESV text. Here is a PDF sample. The slightly smaller text accommodates the wider margins while remaining very clear and legible and bold verse numbers have been added to indicate the start of a new paragraph. Cross references and footnotes are separated at the bottom of the page for ease of use. These modifications result in a Bible that functions as a highly practical edition for note-taking and in-depth study.

This Schuyler Stridon ESV was a birthday gift from my wife, and it is easily the best Bible I have ever owned. I’ve bought a Holman Illustrated Bible for my father in the past when trying to introduce him to the Word of God, and I remember falling in love with the buttery smooth, padded feel of that cover. However, this one is literally unmatched. The smoothness I remembered doesn’t even come close in comparison.
Build and Feel
I’ve mainly owned genuine leather or cheaper-made Bibles before, so I didn’t know what I was missing. The Black Goatskin is incredible, but the paper (charta) is honestly insane. It feels like the softest, highest-quality paper you’ve ever felt. I was also surprised by the page-turning; I didn’t realize my other Bibles had issues with pages sticking, I just thought that was normal. These pages flip perfectly and smoothly every time.
Layout and Use
The single-column, verse-by-verse layout makes it easy to just sit and read for hours, but it’s even better for following along at church. Despite the premium materials, I’ve had zero issues with bleed-through. I use Mr. Pen Highlighters and Micro Pens, and they perform beautifully on this paper.
Dimensions and Handling
As a bigger guy (6’2″) with 8″ x 4″(without the thumb extended) hands, the size of this Bible feels very natural and secure. It is easy to pack and carry without feeling bulky.
Specs:
Page Size: 6.3″ x 9.3″ x 1.6″
Total Size (with Full Yapp): Approx. 7.25″ x 10.8″ x 1.9″
Fit: Fits perfectly in my X-Large Bible case (compartment 10.5″ x 7.5″).
This is a true 5-star investment for anyone serious about their study of the graphē (Scripture).

I received a black goatskin ESV Stridon as a Christmas gift this past year and it is absolutely stunning. My first premium bible. It feels great to hold and very comfortable to read for long period of time. Its larger and heavier than some other bibles for sure, but not so big that its impractical to bring along to church service or bible studies. It comes with me every Sunday! I feel very blessed to have this bible that will stand up to time and use and be able to be passed down.

You guys really killed it with this one. This is my first premium Bible, though I have held and read out of another, and this is definitely the most appealing Bible I’ve ever used. The typeface is nicely spread out and pleasant to read despite the slight decrease in font size since the last edition. The red accents look awesome as well. Great job, guys!

My first premium bible and wow,, it’s beautiful!
Was hoping for one of the Calfskin options but out of stock so opted for the traditional black goatskin, but not disappointed in the slightest, Totally stunned!
Larger than I had imagined so it’s one for the desk, I will definitely be getting another soon as a personal size ???? with thanks also for the speedy delivery to uk within 3 days, plus great care taken with packaging,, first class all round

I recently purchased a Schuyler Stridon ESV in black goatskin leather, and it is truly the highest quality Bible I have ever owned.
I chose this edition specifically for use in my pastoral ministry. I have a great Crossway ESV Omega Thinline Reference Edition that has served me well for the past eight years. However, the Schuyler Stridon’s verse-by-verse layout will be particularly helpful in the pulpit, and I cannot wait to use it!
I chose to have the Bible imprinted with a blind stamp (no gold foil), and it was clearly done with great care; perfectly aligned and subtle enough to match the Jerusalem cross on the cover.
The Evangelical Bible staff were a pleasure to communicate with. They packaged the Bible securely with plenty bubble wrap and foam to ensure it wasn’t damaged in transport, and it was shipped promptly. This was a truly excellent experience, and I fully intend to purchase from them again.

It is so beautiful! I love the thin pages that feel like silk, the beautiful leathers, the quality of the binding.
It is a wonderfully comfortable Bible. It will be my forever Bible.

I recently purchased the Stridon ESV, full Yapp, Black Goatskin Bible and I really love it. It is so very well made. It is very easy to read, and I am enjoying the ESV version. I like going back and forth between it and the NLT Schuyler I also just purchased. These two bibles are truly the most beautiful and well crafted Bible I have ever owned or seen for that matter. I know they will be with me for many years to come and then can be handed down to my family for their learning as well for years to come. Thank you for such wonderful Bibles that we can spend our time in.

I just received my new Schuyler Stridon Bible! It is absolutely GORGEOUS! I shouldn’t be surprised, since I have a Treveris, but I am stunned at how beautiful it is. I have purchased premium Bibles from every publisher over the years, and Schuyler is, without a doubt, the best Bible made. I could not be more pleased. I purchased this Bible to be the one from which I preach and teach regularly, because of the verse-by-verse format, which makes it easier to find specific passages and verses. It will be such a delight to read and preach every Sunday from a Bible that is commensurate with the dignity, majesty, and beauty of its contents. Thank you so much for your ministry to people who love the treasure of God’s Word! It IS truly a ministry.
