Product Description

Review

‘This is a fine, fresh and faithful translation, combining both elegance and accuracy to bring us a version of the bible that is anything but standard. The ESV brings us a text that is both readable yet scholarly. It is quite simply the best version we have today – clear, simple and illuminating‘
MARTYN PERCY, Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon

At last a translation that majors on accuracy, combined with a modern, fluent style. I am confident that in time the ESV will become the standard translation for the English speaking
world.’
THE RT. REV. WALLACE BENN, Bishop of Lewes, England

‘Meticulous care and passionate research make the ESV a crisp, accurate, and valuable translation.’
MAX LUCADO, Minister, Oak Hills Church of Christ

‘The ESV satisfies the preaching memorizing, studying and reading needs of our church, from children to adults.’
JOHN PIPER, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not actually leather, but it is a decent Bible 27 Feb 2011
By Paul McQuillan
Format:Imitation Leather
This is advertised as being leather, but I would confidently suggest that it is actually faux leather, and not a particularly luxuriant one at that. However, this is in no way a negative review, as this is the best release yet of the British version of the ESV text (admittedly there is not a lot of competition).

So, what we get here, at last, is a decent-sized font issue WITHOUT the distracting cross-references which appeared in Collins' first set of 'anglicized' ESVs, released several years ago.

The translation is good - basically it's the old RSV modernised from an evangelical perspective. It makes a good choice for close study, although, in truth, I still prefer the RSV, despite its age.

There is a release which is identical, save for having a slightly nicer (in my opinion) cover, described as 'Midnight Blue', but looking more like black: ISBN-10 0007360665. On both the inner-binding cracks rapidly.

It's a shame that Harper Collins do not do more to push the British text of the ESV. If you don't mind reading the US text then Crossway Books (and now others too) produce a plethora of better-bound releases.

To sum up. Good translation, passable binding, excellent value.

5.0 out of 5 stars ESV Bible 30 April 2011
By G. E. Hunt
Format:Imitation Leather
Having seen a friend using an ESV Bible from Amazon, I purchased 4 copies through you. They came in a couple of days and I am delighted with them. The Bibles are elegant, thin, soft faux-leather covered, gilt-edged, and the print is extremely readable. All this for just a fraction of their true value. Well done, Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely compact presentation of an excellent translation. 17 Feb 2011
By Karin
Format:Imitation Leather
As well as having a really nice cover and gold-foil pages, this Bible has a concordance, footnotes, and indexes for easy reference, without the additional notes added by publishers, which I find intrusive, that are found in some study bibles. The only improvement I could imagine is to set an equally nice commentary next to it on the shelf.
