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 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.

I recently picked up the Schuyler Stridon ESV in the Full Yapp Dark Purple Goatskin edition, and it has exceeded every expectation. This is hands-down one of the most beautiful and well-made Bibles I’ve owned.
The dark purple color is absolutely stunning. It’s a rich, deep, regal shade with subtle variations in the goatskin that give it real depth and character under different lighting. It looks even better in person than in the photos — elegant, premium, and unique. Importantly, this color works perfectly for a man as well. There’s nothing overly “feminine” about it; the deep tone feels sophisticated, strong, and masculine. It’s a great choice whether you’re buying for yourself or as a gift.
The build quality is exceptional. The goatskin leather is soft and supple yet durable, with that satisfying natural texture high-end Bible enthusiasts love. The full Yapp (overhanging) edges provide excellent protection for the pages, and the sewn binding allows the Bible to lie flat with ease — perfect for extended reading or study. The paper is crisp with good opacity, the typesetting is clean and readable, and the overall construction feels like it will last for decades.
Whether you’re using it for daily reading, church, or serious study, this Stridon ESV delivers on both aesthetics and functionality. If you’re considering a premium goatskin Bible and want something that stands out, I highly recommend the Dark Purple edition. It’s a joy to hold and use every single time.
Rating: 5/5 — Beautiful color, outstanding craftsmanship, and a Bible I’m proud to carry.
