R.L. Allan ESV1 vs. ESV NC1
A side-by-side comparison of two ESV Bibles from R.L. Allan.
A handful of people have asked me to help them decide which ESV Bible from R.L. Allan is right for them, and the two closest are the ESV1 and the ESV NC1. I love both of these Bibles, and they are very similar with a few key differences.
With that in mind, I created this video to give you a side-by-side look at the two. I hope this helps you think about which one is right for you, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Here’s a quick overview of the features of each of these bibles.
