I am confident that virtually everyone reading this catalog has a Bible in his home. Statistics say that 92% of households in America own at least one copy, while most average three. How's it working for you? If yours is the original "authorized" version, your family may not be getting a whole lot out of it. Or if yours is the intentionally vague version, you may be thinking it says something a bit different then God intended. If you yearn to know more of God, then you need to read what He has written to you, and it needs to be not only accurate but also understandable.
Committed to the truth, authority, and sufficiency of God's Word
The ESV Study Bible is both. Emphasizing word-for-word accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning, the English Standard Version has gained wide acceptance among numerous denominations. The ESV Study Bible was created by a team of Bible scholars who have a deep commitment to the truth, authority, and sufficiency of God's Word and who have expertise in teaching the Bible.
Notes, articles, and full-color maps created with the latest digital technology
Included in the ESV Study Bible are 20,000 notes to help us understand the Bible text while providing answers to frequently raised issues. There are over fifty articles—including articles on biblical archaeology, theology, worship, prayer, and personal application. The more than 200 full-color maps were created with the latest digital technology, satellite images, and archaeological research. And they are not all buried at the back of the Bible either. Instead they are printed throughout the Bible, exactly where you would want them.
Illustrations that illuminate passages, and thousands of cross references
There are also forty illustrations of hard-to-picture items like the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, Solomon's temple, the city of Jerusalem in Jesus' time, and many more. These illustrations help bring to life the events, people, and places of the Bible in a manner we have never seen before. Of course, since this is a study Bible there are also 80,000 cross-references—to encourage easy location of important words, passages, and biblical themes. In fact, there are so many bells and whistles with this Bible that we encourage you to view all the details on line, as well as an excellent video that presents a complete overview of this outstanding resource. Every ESV Study Bible edition is Smyth-sewn, which is considered the finest Bible binding method and is designed to last a lifetime. |
