Hi. I have the oppourtunity to get my first really well made bible this year, and I plan to take it.
I have always wanted a Thompson Chain Reference, hand size, leather, thumb index....etc and had pretty much decided to get one. However, I looked at some Cambridge bibles recently and thought they were pretty nice as well. They feel good in your hand and smell nice as well.
Here is my question, what is the difference between the cambridge center column reference and the thompson chain reference? Which reference system is more useful? If you were going to spend the money for one really good bible to use as your primary which would you go with? Thompson from Kirkbride in black leather or Cambridge center column in calf or goat skin?
I already have good study bibles, I am looking for a good reference bible not a study bible with biased notes. I want a good reference bible but I want a good quality bible as well for use as my primary reading bible that I take with me, something durable and reliable that I can use in every situation and mark up for years to come.
Thoughts?
