I use this English Version for my Introductory Biblical Greek classes since it is based on the best scholarship (Westcot & Hort critical Greek text) and best archeology of our times. Even though it is easy to read for modern English speakers, it is still a literal translation making it very useful for Biblical Greek students. The language is both familiar for users of the KJV but still modern enough to be easy to read and remember. I am seeing ESV verses on cards, articles and quotes. To make it even more useful, there is a companion Concordance and Reverse Interlinear. ESV is a truly modern study Bible for all Biblical students who want both an easy to read version and do more in depth study. Cons: Type is very small for middle aged bifocal folks but worth the effort.

This Bible is wonderful to give to people you witness to, especially if they do not have a Bible. These are also great to have in your Sunday School room for those people who forget their Bibles or don't have one. The price is $3.49 on Desiringgod.com. $2 cheaper.

The ESV Bible Outreach edition was perfect for our church event and as our new pew Bibles. This edition has an EXCELLENT inotroduction for each book of the Bible and it has EXCELLENT articles in the front and back. We particularly appreciated the Gospel Presentation it contains.

Ordered these for my youth Sunday School class. The kids and I love the translation but the font is small. But I knew what I was getting thanks to the online info. For the price you can't beat it.

I really didn't expect much for the price, but I hoped the "outreach" would be better in the outreach edition. The supplemental pages are few in number although in the description of the book it looks like it's loaded with them. But, for the price, I guess it's not too bad. To get something better you are going to pay more than twice the amount. I do like the fact that it is the whole Bible. So many editions only offer NT new believer's bibles.

Good Value, Nice articles/intros to the bible, good typeset, etc. Excellent affordable way to spread the gospel to new or would be believers. The cover is a little light, but hey it IS a softcover.

I am the youth director for a midsized church in Orlando and I am changing to the ESV. This is the best modern language bible I have seen. The fact that it is a word for word translation means that the youth can follow all of the text in the main service with the 1611 version without skipping over large amounts of text that they have no working knowledge of what the words mean. This allows them to put to practical use, the message in their lives as well as communicate this to their friends at school.

I am a student ministry pastor in Chicago, and I have just recently switched our supply Bible from the NLT and NIV to the ESV. What a difference it has made! Our students are being introduced to classic, biblical, theological terms, and they are asking important questions about them, which gives our youth staff a better opportunity to explain God's truths to them instead of having a dynamic translation tell them what to think. Word for word accuracy without sacrificing readability--this Bible should be in the hands of all youth! The Outreach version specifically helps our students gain a better understanding of each book and its historical, theological context. Youth and student ministry pastors, do your youth a great service and order them an ESV Bible today!
