Finally! The NLT Illustrated Study Bible with a Sewn Binding!

Look what finally has a sewn binding! Until further notice I would only purchase from Tyndale’s website, because I am unsure if third party sellers have updated their stock.

The glued binding is what always kept me from getting one of these. So glad they have brought out a sewn binding version! Thanks Tim for letting us know!

I'm 75. I don't care about sewn versus glued. I care about print size. If I can't read it, I won't be picking it up! Since I have had to transition to large print for all of my Bibles, I got smart and bought inexpensive (cheap) large print Bibles and a couple of Commentaries in as large a print as I could find. I have had to adjust from having the ability to only need one text on my lap to also keeping the commentaries on the floor next to me (bit of a hassle), but at my age, one has to make changes! :)

I just received the brown and tan bible today (7.2) from Amazon and it was sewn. I had watched your video AFTER I ordered it but it all worked out. Thanks for letting us know!

I don't understand why anyone would ever produce a gigantic Bible like that without a sewn binding.

I'm truly at a lost for words th how many goodies this bible has. It's so beautiful 🥲

I was a bit late for the live chat. Although it is not a new feature, I want to say that I like the format of 2 - 1 - 3 columns to distinguish between Bible text, articles, and study notes. I really like the between the testaments section, especially the Cross and the Passover pages.

Tyndale wrote me. If you want a guaranteed Smyth sewn you have to get the indexed brown or hardcover one. I love mine!! I had to order it directly from Tyndale

[erichoehn]

I purchased mine a few weeks ago. I love it

Great review. I was going to post and say I love it apart from I spent most of Friday evening/night unsticking the pages :-) For me it seemed to be on the color images. They did come apart though without damage so I'm not complaining too much. I do really love this, it is really good.

Nice. I have an older hardcover edition. I was disappointed that it has a glued binding. Nice to see this.

Yaaayyy!!!! My NLT illustrated study Bible just arrived, I'm so happy! It's sewn binding. I'll take good care of my lovely study Bible 🎉❤

I have the glued binding edition and if it was my daily carry I would certainly update it, but as a reference I keep on my shelf I will wait until it starts falling apart (which it surely will). Thankfully most Bible makers have moved past glued bindings on quality editions.

Hi Tim! I have the former NLT Illustrated Study Bible that has the glued binding and printed in Italy. I love it.
My question is, does this new sewn binding Bible have the same illustrations & features as the older one, or is it different?

[Anvillhead]

Does the new edition have a new ISBN? I’m asking because I’m wondering how you can identify the newer one if buying online? Thanks for a great review and for the info.

Such a beautiful study bible. I've been waiting for a re-release with the sewn binding. Like others who are located outside the US I guess it's a waiting game to get our sewn copy. Tyndale really should have recalled the glued binding editions when so many people reported the binding issues. It would have also been better to re-release the sewn edition under a new ISBN to remove any doubt which copy you would get. But saying that, printing these things aren't exactly cheap. My hope for the future would be that more bibles are printed in the US rather than China.

What is the ISBN number of the Smyth Sewn binding version?

[Karelife]

I need large print bibles. My old eyes can’t read tiny print. Please tell me about the print.

[captainnolan]

It looks like your link is broken. How can I make sure I am looking at a Smyth sewn binding when ordering one of there?

[lanaofficiel]

Hello Tim. Does the new smyth sewn binded version come in large print??? Thanks for your help.

[flowerlass]

What is the published date? Your link takes me to Tyndale, which states 2015.
