The ESV Study Bible includes more than 20,000 notes, written specifically for the ESV Study Bible. These notes focus especially on understanding the meaning of the text, giving answers to frequently raised questions, and providing theological, historical, and archaeological background—all for the purpose of helping readers to understand the Bible in a deeper way.
The ESV Study Bible also provides a wealth of additional resources. Thus the introductions to each book include essential information about the author, date, and place of writing; an extensive chart of key themes; a summary of how the book fits in with the rest of the biblical storyline; a description of literary features; an outline of the book; and a large full-color map showing the setting of the book.
Another unique feature is the inclusion of over 50 helpful articles on topics such as the authority and truthfulness of the Bible, reading the Bible for application, the Bible in worship and prayer, the reliability of the biblical manuscripts, the relationship between archaeology and the Bible, an overview of biblical theology, and many more.
Other key resources include a system of 80,000 cross references and a concordance (which together facilitate easy location of important words, passages, and biblical themes). In addition, over 200 color charts, located throughout the Bible, provide clear, concise presentations of essential information.
Features:
- The ESV Bible text is set in highly readable 9-point type, in a single-column, book-text format.
- Section summaries are highlighted for easy location throughout the notes. Summaries provide an overview of each main section and correspond to the outline shown in the introduction for each book.

The ESV Study Bibles TruTone, Mahogany Trellis Design were gifts for my daughters. Beautiful Bibles and filled with so many study guides and helps. We have been using the NASB for years and will continue to use them and this new ESV Bible for our daily Bible times and studies, both individually and together. I wanted a really special Bible for each of them, something to use all of the rest of their lives, and this EVS Bible was just what I was looking for, even more beautiful than I was expecting.
Highly recommended for those who really want to study and dig into the Scriptures and learn more and more about our Heavenly Father and Precious Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Initially, I bought one for my sister at church as a birthday gift. When I received it, I was in awe! It is better than some of the textbooks in seminary! The charts, maps, and the verse commentary is phenomenal. I truly recommend the ESV Study Bible for the "very" serious bible student and teacher. You will not regret it.

Excellent service. Mind-blowing prices. I was not disappointed in the slightest bit with the product itself. A great Bible that I will be giving to a friend of mind for her birthday. ChristianBook.com is sweet!

This is a beautiful bible. I would recommend this bible for home bible study use because of it’s size and weight. I read my ESV bible along with the online verison and I really enjoy my time with the Lord. I have many bibles but this bible is my favorite. The ESV Study Bible is made very well and will last for years.

This bible contains a wealth of information! I love the cover and hope that it can withstand the test of time!! There are many additions to the back (articles, charts, etc.) that I would rather not carry around with me daily and makes the bible huge. The pictures are great and in color. The commentary is a good mix of historical and life application. There is also a lot of information leading up to each book of the bible.
