The new English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages. Relying on the work of more than 50 Bible scholars, as well as the input of a 60-member, multi-denominational Advisory Council, the translations comittee chaired by J.I. Packer realized its goals of word-for-word precision and accuracy, literary excellence and readability, and depth of meaning. Written in language beautiful enough to be used for public reading, clear enough for preaching and devotions, and trustworthy enough for academic study, the ESV sets a new standard--and is truly a Bible for all people. Black Letter Edition.

Reviewed by Kenneth Bieber (Hudson, OH), February 13, 2008 I have used the RSV for many years and find the ESV to be very familiar but easier to read textually. The price was very good. Though I can read with glasses, the print size could be larger - especially the center column references are very hard to read. Nevertheless, I am pleased with this Bible. 4.5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Brad Moore (Pandora, OH), December 10, 2007 Great Bible. I wanted one that will last me a while, and this seems like it will do a fine job. The footnotes and cross references are great for study. Not too bulky, but not too small - good size. And I'm enjoying settling down with the ESV as my translation to become familiar with.
