The ESV Study Bible was created to help people understand the Bible in a deeper way—to understand the timeless truth of God’s Word as a powerful, compelling, life-changing reality. To accomplish this, the ESV Study Bible combines the best and most recent evangelical Christian scholarship with the highly regarded ESV Bible text. The result is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published—with more than 2,750 pages of extensive, accessible Bible resources.

With completely new notes, maps, illustrations, charts, timelines, and articles, the ESV Study Bible was created by an outstanding team of 93 evangelical Christian scholars and teachers. In addition to the 757,000 words of the ESV Bible itself, the notes and resources of the ESV Study Bible comprise an additional 1.1 million words of insightful explanation and teaching.

The ESV Study Bible is available in hardcover, TruTone, bonded leather, genuine leather, and calfskin leather editions.

    I’m looking forward to this. I’d like to see a copy in red letter.

    I too am looking forward to this new Study Bible…My only exception is I desire Red letter for Christ, multiple ribbons and Thumb Index…. I try to find all of these features when I purchased my bibles… I love Bibles with these features… When you are a teacher it makes referencing other text easier.
