As an update to my recent blog post about the CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible, here’s a short presentation of another version of the Christian Standard Bible that I referenced there: the CSB Thinline Bible. (Plus: a few practical notes on my Bible marking system).

Unboxing the CSB Thinline Bible
As an update to my post about the CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible, here’s a short presentation of another version of the Christian Standard Bible that I referenced there: the CSB Thinline Bible.
CSB Thinline is one of many different formats this Bible is currently available in. Think of it as the very opposite of the Wide-Margin Bible: it’s lightweight, smaller, and easy to carry around.
Here are the main specs:
- 9-point font
- 5.375” x 8.25” page size
- Smyth-sewn, lay-flat binding
- gilded page edges
- 2KDENMARK typeset
- double-column layout
- one ribbon marker (red)
- a set of eight full-colour maps, plus a table of weights and measurements
It comes with a durable protective slipcase.
Some of these features are similar to the wide-margin CSB I’ve reviewed earlier, but here are the main differences:
- no concordance – thinlines typically don’t contain it, to retain a smaller total number of pages
- genuine black leather covers (the wide-margin one has the so-called “leathertouch” faux leather)
- a little bit of ghosting, as expected in a thinline, but not at all obstructive to reading
- thumb-indexed (one of my favourite features; not all CSB Thinlines are thumb-indexed, this is a separate edition)
After about a month of daily use, I have to say I’m very satisfied with it. I bought it as a Bible for everyday reading and study; a sturdy, high-quality copy to be marked up through highlighting, annotating, adding notes on lexical study, etc. You would think that a wide-margin Bible would be more suitable for that specific purpose, but I’ve actually found this smaller format to be ideal, as it makes me focus on the key things, without going into unnecessary digressions and random scribbles – there’s just no space for any of that.
There’s nothing not to love about this edition – except this: the in-text superscripts are just too small and almost impossible to read. While the footnotes are in a smaller, but still legible font type (not sure what it is exactly, but it might be 7-point), the footnote markers themselves are microscopic and very difficult to make out. Whenever there’s a footnote marker, it takes me a while to match it to the appropriate footnote, which can be a bit frustrating and definitely straining on the eyes! However, if you have excellent vision or don’t have much need for the footnotes, you won’t even register this as a problem.
To sum up, this is an excellent Bible, designed in a classic and elegant way, with good binding and durable leather covers that are made to last. If you want to take a closer look at it, visit the links I’ve included at the bottom of the post.
BONUS: A NOTE ON MY MARKING SYSTEM
If you’re curious to know about my Bible mark-up system, I’ve tried to simplify it as much as I could. Any notes are written using a mechanical pencil (0.7mm HB – neat and easy to erase, if necessary). I do highlights using yellow and green crayons: yellow for memorable passages concerning doctrine or anything else that catches my eye; green for practical everyday life concerns, health and wellbeing, ethics et sim.
Why crayons and not pens or various types of highlighters? Because there’s no risk of ink bleeding through. It’s kind of a big deal with thinline editions as the paper is extra thin and any ink is most likely to seep through and ruin everything. Besides, pencils and crayons are more discrete visually: I don’t want my highlights to leave in the shade the non-highlighted parts of the Word, just to help me locate things more quickly.
If there’s a full sentence or a longer passage that I’m highlighting, I’ll box it rather than underline all the verses. Here are two samples, showing portions of 1 Thessalonians 4 and James 1, where you can also see the typeset:
I hope you’ve liked this review! Don’t hesitate to leave a comment or ask any questions.

In the latest blog post I'm reviewing one of the CSB Bibles:

The CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible
One of the Bible translations I’ve been using a lot over the past year is the relatively new Christian Standard Bible (CSB) version. Praised by many for accuracy, nuance and clarity, the CSB has quickly gained a solid reputation, especially among evangelical Christians. In this post I won’t go into the stylistic features or the translation philosophy behind the CSB (visit some of the links below to find out more about those), but will rather present one of several dozen available editions that I’ve been using – pros and cons included.
If you visit the official CSB website, you’ll be probably overwhelmed by the wide variety of editions which come in many different formats, designs and layouts. The edition reviewed here is marketed as the “CSB Single-Column Wide-Margin Bible”, which is pretty much self-explanatory.
Bible readers typically have a strong preference for either single-column or double-column layout. While I’ve strongly preferred the double-column over the years, this time I wanted something different, so I deliberately chose this one. As I intended to use it as my go-to personal study Bible, I wanted it to have wider margins for any notes and comments. So, on paper at least, this seemed like the perfect option.
Here are some of its other features:
- 10-point type, so you don’t have to strain your eyes
- quality smyth-sewn binding
- gilded page edges
- elegant design; beautiful Bible Serif / 2KDENMARK typeset
- very little ghosting
- two ribbon markers (brown and red)
- a set of full-colour maps
- concordance (presented in a much smaller font!)
- lovely brown “leathertouch” covers that feel like genuine, soft leather
While I have used it as a study Bible for close to a year, here are two cons that eventually made me give up on this particular format (again, it’s solely about the format not the translation itself):
- size and weight
Realistically, it’s a bulky Bible. The size itself is not such a big deal (24 x 18 cm; 5 cm thick), but I didn’t expect it to weigh 1,5 kg. With all the other stuff I’m regularly carrying in my backpack, this one could never serve as an everyday-carry Bible, or the one to take to church.
- margins
I should have done a better homework: while it does have margins wider than usual, they are not as wide as I would’ve preferred. So in the end, I haven’t used it all that much for any actual note-taking.
I still think it’s a wonderful edition, but it just wasn’t right for me. Soon I’ll be unpacking another edition of the CSB, namely one of their “thinline” Bibles which I hope will prove to be a suitable replacement. Stay tuned!

Currently, have my #devenv setup on their own #Tailscale network. It is nice how easy it is to separate these networks. The wint14-devsys is actually WSL2 running my container image. This way I don't have to share machines into my personal #tailnet, but I could. There is a mix of #gitpod and #csb used. #codespace is in my opinion a little too slow for my region.
