ESV Study Bible

It is true that I have an affinity for the English Standard Version. I have been using it since seminary and find it to be the most helpful version for my personal Bible study and teaching.

This Fall, Crossway is publishing the ESV Study Bible. I think it is really going to be the next level of Study Bible. The list of scholars that were assembled to prepare the notes and outlines and historical backgrounds and timelines is unparalleled.

So, go over the ESV Study Bible site and check out the Introduction Video (about 5min).

I’m about to order mine! (and yours too Les....)

A few endorsements:

“With the myriad of new Bible translations on the market today, few stand out. The ESV is one of the few, and surpasses the others in its simple yet elegant style. In many respects the ESV has accomplished in the 21st century what the KJV accomplished in the 17th: a trustworthy, literary Bible that is suitable for daily reading, memorizing, and preaching.”
Daniel B. Wallace, Ph.D.
Executive Director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts

“I believe the ESV is the Bible of the future. It is readable, accurate, and reverent.”
Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner
Professor of New Testament, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“The ESV is a solid translation… that is faithful to the text and clear to the mind and ear. It is a pleasure to commend it.”
Dr. Darrell L. Bock
Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

“An excellent translation that can be trusted.”
Dr. John F. Walvoord
Chancellor, Dallas Theological Seminary
