ESV Classic Reference Bible, Hardcover, Black Letter Text

By: Crossway Bibles

Book Overview

The new English Standard Version TM 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 translation committee 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.

Definitely not large print.

I would love the bible but definitely not large print. At 84years of age not easy for me to read. I'll look for someone who will want it. Listed as "ESV Large Print Compact Bible (Trutone, Brown, Mosaic Cross Design) Like New condition. Was almost like new like the claim.

Very disappointed!

My son spent his $60 on this Bible. It stated no dust jacket but still had the picture of the lion on the front. It arrived a plain white Bible. He is very disappointed!

it's falling apart and smells

na

The Bible is the most important thing

I am getting 5 other versions other than the one I have to gain more insight!

Happily surprised

I was nervous at first as I’m used to NLT style but I was happily surprised! If your like me and can understand KJV but want something a bit easier this is the way to go!
