Review: The one I actually carry - I'll say upfront: I'm a committed fan of the Reformation Study Bible. I own the digital version on Logos, the Korean edition, and the full print edition. Each has its place. But the Condensed Edition has become the one I reach for every day. It's simply the most portable format of this Bible, and Ligonier didn't cut corners to get it there. The leather is supple and holds up well to regular use. The typography is clean and easy on the eyes, and the paper quality is excellent — no frustrating bleed-through, and the print is crisp and consistent throughout. For those unfamiliar with the Reformation Study Bible, the study notes reflect solid Reformed theology — carefully written, pastorally useful, and theologically trustworthy. The condensed format retains the most essential notes, which is more than enough for personal devotions, sermon preparation on the go, or carrying to church. If you already love the full edition but want something you can take anywhere without hesitation, this is exactly what you're looking for. Highly recommended. Review: Perfectly Portable - Finally there is a portable Study Bible with decent notes! This edition has a condensed version of the commentary that comes with the standard Reformation Study Bible, along with book introductions, cross references, a solid concordance, maps, and a Bible reading plan. This edition does not have the articles, book outlines, illustrations, or confessions of the standard edition. The structure seems to be sturdy, and the text is quite readable, considering the size of the book itself. It balances well in one hand and is perfectly portable for carrying with you. The pictures show the full size edition and the condensed edition together for comparison purposes. Update: The quality of the ink is poor, and will smudge. I have never seen anything quite like this, even in value edition Bibles. If you hold your place with your finger in one part of scripture, and flip to another section, like you might do if you were following cross references, the ink deteriorates and streaks. Unfortunately, this Bible is apparently not up to being used extensively for any period of time. This is unfortunate because the material is excellent, and the size is perfect. Hopefully they will consider contracting RL Allen to produce a quality edition that will last. I am deducting 2 stars because a Bible in this price point should be much more durable. It is still an excellent resource if you wear gloves while using it. I have included a picture. Update: these are now being printed in China, and although that is a little bothersome for political reasons, the quality has certainly improved. The paper is thicker, and the ink no longer smears. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #100,524 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #810 in Christian Bibles (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,829 Reviews | ## Images ![ESV Reformation Study Bible, Condensed Edition - Black, Leather-Like - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FtTd6q6eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The one I actually carry *by T***R on March 25, 2026* I'll say upfront: I'm a committed fan of the Reformation Study Bible.

Sproul’s notes throughout the years carrying over from his ever-popular New Geneva Study Bible. Editors list reads like a who’s-who of Reformed Ph.D’s contributing to all aspects of this Bible. Snippets of J.I. Packer’s Concise Theology scattered about. Seville cowhide leather is soft to the touch with moderate grain, paste down liner. 3 brown ribbons. Color is supposedly “burgundy” but it’s somewhere between maroon and brown. Inside text is serif font somewhere in the 9.5pt range, notes are probably in the 7pt range. Print is consistent, but only moderately dark. Paper is smooth and reasonably thick (30+ GSM if I was guessing) with minimal ghosting. Heavy enough for writing notes on. Not line-matched, but that’s almost impossible in a study Bible. This thing is BIG! 9.5”x6.9”x2.5” Well over 4 lbs. Not an ideal “carry” Bible. This is truly a gem of a study Bible. I’ve tried almost all of the ESV study bibles on the market. This one is so good I bought 2: one hardcover, one leather. Solid reformed evangelical positions. Historical creeds, catechisms, and Protestant church doctrine listed in the back as well. This Bible has rapidly become one of my prized possessions. Highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESV Reformation Study Bible, Condensed Edition - Black, Leather-Like - ESV Reformation Study Bible, Student Edition - Red, Leather-Like - ESV Reformation Study Bible, Condensed Edition - Black, Premium Leather --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/127344446-esv-reformation-study-bible-condensed-edition-black-leather-like](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/127344446-esv-reformation-study-bible-condensed-edition-black-leather-like) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
