Recently, I had the opportunity to review this Bible and let me tell you, it is absolutely stunning! I have not had a print copy of a Bible in so long. I always access the Bible online, but this one is simply breathtaking. It has the Old World feel to it. I remember studying in my music history class at college about how they used to include fancy lettering and gold-embossed illustrations in Bibles during the Middle Ages before the age of the printing press. Somehow having this Illuminated Bible makes me feel like I have been endowed with one of these lovely and rare books. The illustrations highlight some of the beautiful passages of the Scriptures, and since it is a hardback copy and comes with own protective cardboard slipcase, I couldn’t be happier! I have never owned an EXV translation, but it is similar to the NKJV which I use regularly. This is going to be my “go-to” Bible when I’m home from now on.
