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.

The only thing that disappoints me in this Bible is that it is not a red-lettered edition. Otherwise I am very satisfied. I am excited to use this study Bible with all the information it provides.

This Bible is terrific. I love the notes they are very thorough. The maps and illustrations are in color and really help you to see how things were during that time. I am sure that I will find even more things to love about this Bible as I use it during my quiet time.

In my opinion the ESV Study Bible is the best resource out there for the everyday joe. The commentary is full of great information.Definitley easier to read and understand than some. One of the greatest parts of this is the online code you get with it. You can go to the ESV Online and leave personalized notes to go along with whatever scripture or book you are studying; so you never have to forget those times when God is speaking to you.

Among all of the study Bibles available, the ESV sets a new standard! It is very comprehensive, and offers an online equivalant (it will even read the chapter to you!). This is, by far, the finest study Bible, and a great translation too! CBD brings it at a price that is unbelievable. This is the one to own! (But get a reference edition to carry around with you). I am impressed!

I didn't know a lot about the ESV Bible. I knew of it, but had never looked at one in depth. The ESV Study Bible is AWESOME! Tons of information. I use it mainly for personal study and reading. The deal was to good to pass up. If you are looking for a really good study Bible, this is the one you need to get. One of the best I have seen in a long time. A must for any minister or Bible teacher.

The ESV, although not a Bible to carry to church due to its size, has surpassed my expectations as far as study Bibles go. I have cross-checked its remarks with other trusted Bibles and commentaries and I feel it is the best I have found.
