ESV Heirloom Bible Giveaway

A Gift for My Readers

I love the new ESV Heirloom Bibles. They are gorgeous. And with 2026 around the corner—a new year of reading through the Bible—I thought it’d be fun to give one of my readers the new Gloria Dei Heirloom Bible (retail: $350).

And thank you to my friends at WTS Books for making this possible! If you are looking to buy one of these beautiful Bibles, WTS sells them at 50% off, and you get an additional 5% off with code MEDDERS.

Here’s what Crossway says about this Bible:

“Created with the highest-quality materials available, the ESV Heirloom Bible, Gloria Dei: Single Column Edition is an elegant Bible printed and bound with superior craftsmanship by Royal Jongbloed in the Netherlands.

This edition is modeled after the Renaissance ideal of a perfect page—featuring a simple, clear layout with generous margins. This Bible is printed on high-quality European Bible paper and features elegant art gilding, 3 ribbon markers, single-column formatting, and an extra-smooth sewn binding. Combining a high-end leather cover with a classic layout, the ESV Heirloom Bible, Gloria Dei: Single Column Edition will be cherished by readers for a lifetime.

• High Quality: One-of-a-kind, full-grain leather cover with a quality guarantee

• Specialty Features: Includes 3 ribbon markers, art gilding, a two-color interior, European Bible paper, and an extra-smooth sewn binding

• Half Yapp: Leather cover partially extends over the text block, providing protection for the page edges

• Simple, Straightforward Layout: Single-column format with generous margins, line matching, and 9-point type”

What you’ll notice, in addition to the stellar Grenada Calfskin, is the smooth reading experience with the headings moved into the margins. I dig the new red accents on the chapter numbers, too.

Here’s how to win this Bible: subscribe to Spiritual Theology. If you are already a subscriber (my posts show up in your email), you are good!

I’ll pick the winner on Monday.

WTS Books also sent me the new ESV Heirloom Bible, Alpha: Personal Size Edition Cowhide, British Tan. I am keeping this one for preaching, teaching, and travel.

The British Tan is so soft and smooth, with a blind-stamped spine for a different look that I really like. This one is still in stock at WTS (use code MEDDERS for an additional 5% off).
