    This review was written for ESV Study Bible--Genuine leather, black.
    This is the finest academic study Bible on the market today that I have used. It is of the highest quality for its price range, from the gold-trimmed paper to the genuine leather binding. The layout is well thought out, the commentary is firmly evangelical in perspective, and the resource essays in the back are very helpful in dealing with other religions, the reliability of Scripture, and many other topics.

    If you are looking for an all-in-one study resource that combines the equivalent of a multi-volume commentary with a very reliable and readable translation, this is the one for you.

    I will warn however that the words of Christ are not in red, and that the commentary, while excellent, is truly a verse by verse commentary, not a "life application commentary". If you would prefer a commentary that is more new believer friendly, the ESV Gospel Transformation Study Bible is a fantastic resource for jumpstarting your new faith.

    As a seminary student, I have been pressed into biblical learning from many facets. This bible is sound in delivering more than basic information about scripture. The bible book backgrounds are up to date and descriptions summarize what I've read in many commentaries. The study notes offer valuable insight quickly reading the bible text. I have used this book to get a good summary of the book, passage and text that I am studying before digging deeper for research purposes. I enjoy the theological end matter, as it once again gives a good brief overview of systematic theology. Material in this book tends toward the reformed perspective, which if you are not in agreement, you can take it with a grain of salt and move forward with the truth of interpretation that is with it. It is a thick book and I appreciate the way it lays open and is easy to read. The binding seems durable yet flexible. I've owned and read multiple study bibles and this is the best one by far for general (least biased toward a theological perspective) systematic study of scripture.

    Very Comprehensive Study Bible!

    The ESV Study Bible is not a new Bible. It has been out on the market since 2008, and it was the winner of the ECPA Book of the Year Award. I have had my eye on it for a while now, so I was very happy to finally get my hands on a copy! I have heard that this Bible is an invaluable resource for studying the Word, and I was pleasantly surprised by the volume of information contained in this amazing book!

    First of all, the ESV Study Bible is no thinline Bible. Weighing in at a little over four pounds, it is 2,752 pages of in-depth study of the Word of God in a literal translation that you can trust. I typically read the NLT, but Crossway has introduced me to the ESV, and I have to say that I now love both translations equally. The text is printed in a size 9 font, with the study notes in a size 7 font. I find it easy to read for long periods of time. There are side column cross references, and many study notes as the bottom of each page. The wealth of study notes is something that I know will keep me in this Bible for years to come. I feel that the study notes are easy to understand, yet I still gain new insight every time I spend time in this Bible. It is offered in a variety of different covers, from softcover to goatskin leather. I currently own the hardcover copy.

    In many Bibles, each book begins with an induction of a page or two, but the ESV Study Bible begins each book with a 5-6 page introduction, including an outline of the book. I find this very helpful because it gives context to the book that I am about to dig into. There are also a variety of resources in the back to the Bible including: God's Plan of Salvation, Biblical Doctrine: An Overview, Biblical Ethics: An Overview, Interpreting the Bible, Reading the Bible, The Canon of Scripture, Reliability of Bible Manuscripts, Archaeology and the Bible, Original Languages, The Septuagint, How the New Testament Quotes and Interprets the Old Testament, The Bible in Christianity, The Bible and World Religions, The Bible and Religious Cults, History of Salvation in the Old Testament: Preparing the Way for Christ, and The History of Salvation in the Old Testament. There is also a concordance, a daily Bible reading plan, and fifteen maps. I have never seen so much additional information included in the back of any Bible, and I have owned quite a few Bibles!

    The ESV Study Bible is a Bible that would be useful for someone in ministry, attending seminary, or a woman of God who just loves to spend her spare time studying the Bible on her couch, such as myself. It is a Bible with a wealth of information that one could learn from daily, and I would highly recommend adding it to your bookshelf (but not just keep it there collecting dust)!

    I received a copy of this Bible from Crossway, in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

    This review was written for ESV Study Bible--Genuine leather, black.
    The ESV translation is very accurate. The study notes are top notch. For example, they cover translation issues, and provide cultural context surrounding the text, which actually helps clarify how to apply the tenets to today's issues.

    The one thing I would like to see is a better quality leather cover. It is very thin for a Bible of this thickness.
