Purpose and Vision
The 『ESV Study Bible』 was created to help people understand the Bible in depth, that is, to encounter the eternal truths of God's Word as a powerful, persuasive, and life-changing reality. The result is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published, with completely new commentary, maps, illustrations, charts, timelines, appendices (papers), and many other features. Created by an outstanding team of 95 evangelical Christian scholars and teachers, this study Bible contains over 20 million words of biblical text (equivalent to a 2-volume Bible resource series) and insightful explanations and teachings. (See full list of contributors on pages 13-18.)
Therefore, the purpose and vision of this study Bible are, among other things, (1) in terms of the excellence, beauty, and accuracy of its content and intent, and (2) to help people gain a deeper understanding of the Bible, the gospel, and their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It glorifies God in terms of helping us reach understanding.

God's Word and Mere Human Words
『ESV Study Bible』 contains two types of words. The first kind of words are the actual words of the Bible, which are the very words that God gives us. These words are printed in large type at the top of each page. The second kind of speech is biblical commentary, which is purely human speech. These words are printed in small type at the bottom of each page. The difference in font size serves to remind readers that the words of the Bible themselves are infinitely more valuable than the words of the commentary. The words of the Bible are the words our Creator speaks to us. It is entirely true (Psalm 119:160; Proverbs 30:5; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18), pure (Psalm 12:6), powerful (Jer 23:29; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 23). :19) Wise and righteous (Psalm 7:11-28). God's people are filled with fear and reverence (Deut. 58:119; Ps. 74:66; Isa. 2:19) and rejoice and be glad (Ps. 7:11-119; 14:97, 103, 15; Jer. 16:6). You must read these words. Through these words, God gives us eternal life (John 68:1; 23 Peter 32:46) and provides daily nourishment for our spiritual life in this present world (Deuteronomy 4:4; Matthew XNUMX:XNUMX). On the other hand, Bible commentaries are useful because they help explain the Bible, but they should never be a substitute for the Bible itself. Therefore, the best way to use this study Bible is to always start and end with Bible verses. We must always first read the actual words of the Bible, try to understand them with our hearts and minds, and apply these words to our lives. Next, after starting with the Bible text itself, we can use Bible commentaries and other resources for information about the background of the text, the meaning of puzzling words or phrases, and their relationship to other parts of the Bible. Finally, we must go back to the Bible itself, read it with a new and deeper understanding, and ask God to speak His Word to fit the circumstances of our lives and lead us closer to God.

Purpose of ESV Study Bible Commentary
The purpose of the commentary contained in the 『ESV Study Bible』 is to provide important commentary to Christians who want to understand the Bible more deeply. For this purpose, Bible commentary provides the following types of helpful content:

ESV Study Bible User Manual
1. Explanation of the Bible text. Explanation of the meaning of specific words and phrases, especially in relation to adjacent context and the Bible as a whole.
2. At the beginning of each paragraph, a short summary explanation explaining the meaning and purpose of the paragraph. This commentary corresponds to an outline of each book of the Bible and is boxed to make it easier to identify the structure of each book.
3. A summary commentary on how specific biblical texts fit into the overall history of salvation as it unfolds throughout the Old Testament.
4. Explanations of puzzling events, words, and phrases that are often misunderstood.
5. Background explanation of historical and archaeological information that provides a contextual framework to help explain and understand the text.
6. Explanations of key Greek and Hebrew words (usually presented in the form of a dictionary of the original languages) to provide insight into their meaning in the original languages ​​of the Bible.
7. Presenting meaningful alternative interpretations of important biblical texts.
8. Explanation of key texts important in understanding Christian doctrine, theology, and ethics.
9. Dialogue with and response to objections to the truth, historicity, or reliability of specific biblical texts.
10. Application to life today for selected key texts.

Understanding and Teaching the Word of God
With this purpose in mind, the 『ESV Study Bible』 continues hundreds of years of tradition of 'explaining', 'commentary', or 'teaching' the Word of God. This process of teaching the Word of God is also found in the Bible itself. For example, when Moses delivered the words of Deuteronomy to the Israelites, he said to them, “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” (Deuteronomy 6: 7). Similarly, when Ezra and the Levites read the Book of the Law to the captives returning from Babylon, they “made them understand the law…” … Interpret its meaning and tell the people… … “I understood everything” (Nehemiah 8:7-8). In the early church, Philip was sent to help an Ethiopian eunuch understand what he was reading in the Book of Isaiah (Acts 8:26-40). Additionally, Apostle Paul devoted his time to going from city to city teaching “the word of God” (Acts 18:11, cf. 15:35, 20:20, 27). Likewise, throughout church history, God has raised up men to teach the Word (cf. 12 Corinthians 28:4; Ephesians 11:XNUMX). This Study Bible stands within this historical trend and is specifically intended to provide explanation and instruction - to help people come to a deeper understanding of God's Word and the Gospel, and to edify and strengthen God's people throughout the world. It was created to provide a means.

doctrinal perspective
The doctrinal perspective of the 『ESV Study Bible』 is that of the classic evangelical orthodox faith belonging to the historical flow of the Reformation. Biblical commentary is written from the perspective of confidence in the complete truthfulness of the Bible. In texts where alleged errors or contradictions have been raised, possible solutions to such objections have been suggested. In our commentary on the Bible, we have sometimes summarized interpretations that conflict with classical evangelical orthodoxy, showing why and how such views contradict the Bible. It is also within the broader tradition of evangelical orthodoxy that various evangelical and evangelical voices address controversial topics such as baptism, the Eucharist, spiritual gifts, the future of the nation of Israel, and other events related to the millennium and the time of Christ's second coming. I tried to express the positions fairly.

Additional Content: Introduction and Appendices
In addition to Bible commentary, the 『ESV Study Bible』 contains a wealth of other useful materials, including the following:
▶ Extensive introduction to each book and paragraph of the Bible, focusing on author, period of writing, historical background, key themes, literary features, and detailed overview.
▶ Background study on the history and archeology of the ancient world, the canon of the Old and New Testaments, the reliability of ancient manuscripts, and the nature of the original languages ​​of the Bible (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek).
▶ A brief overview of the history of salvation that shows how the various themes in the history of salvation found throughout the Old Testament are ultimately fulfilled in Christ.
▶ A series of essays on the major doctrines and ethical teachings of the Bible.
▶ A summary of the basic differences in doctrine and understanding of the Bible within Christianity, including Evangelical Protestantism, Progressive Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Roman Catholic Church.
▶ Description of other world religions (modern Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism).
▶ An overview of the teachings of major heretical sects, explaining how and where they departed from the Bible and classical evangelical Christianity.

Other Unique Features
The newly created 『ESV Study Bible』 has many unique features. These unique features are as follows:
▶ Over 200 state-of-the-art full-color maps created using satellite imagery, digital technology, and cartography techniques. Based on extensive research and the most up-to-date knowledge of Biblical archeology, these maps are printed in full color throughout the Bible, bringing Bible events, people, and places to life.
▶ State-of-the-art illustrations of over 40 full-color pictures, created especially for this study Bible, showing important Bible buildings, cities, and objects in accurate detail.
▶ Over 200 illustrated charts throughout the Bible, presenting key insights and analysis in a clear, concise outline.
▶ 8 cross-references. These cross-references help you easily find comprehensively important words, passages, and Bible topics. (Heb) or (Heb) indicates that the similarity of the cross-referenced passage is more evident in the original Hebrew or Greek.

Goals and Vision
As mentioned at the beginning of this introduction, the goals and vision of the 『ESV Study Bible』 are, among other things, (1) in terms of excellence, beauty, and accuracy of its content and intent, and (2) to help people connect with the Bible, the Gospel, and their Lord. It glorifies God and His Word by helping us reach a deeper understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We know that nothing we do is always perfect and that we are prone to errors. But we also know that God still uses imperfect and inappropriate things to receive glory and praise. So we dedicate this work to our triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and to the people of God. In addition, we pray that our Lord will protect and protect this book from any errors or shortcomings that may be unintentionally contained, and by the grace of God, this study Bible will be used to lead many people to Christ and to the whole world. I pray that it will prove to be eternally useful in building up churches and for this generation and generations to come.

Glory to God alone!

▒ Recommendation

[ESV Study Bible Recommendations - In alphabetical order]

The Korean church, groaning in spiritual darkness, longs for revival and reform. This revival and reformation can only begin with sincere interest in and proper understanding of the Word of God. However, there has never been a Korean study Bible published that anyone can easily read, that is academically reliable, and that is based on Reformed theology. In this sense, the publication of the translation of the ESV Study Bible can be said to be a 'act of God' not only for the history of revival and reformation, but also for the revival and reformation of the Korean church. Soon, the ESV Study Bible will become an indispensable reference not only for pastors but also for all laypeople who love the Word.
– Professor Kim Gu-won (Chaeshin Graduate University)

The ESV Study Bible is the best study Bible since the famous Geneva Bible of the 16th century. This book was written by about 100 authoritative evangelical and reformist scholars, and it contains so much material that it can be said to be a theological book. So, if you read this book consistently, you will gain a tremendous amount of theological knowledge and receive a balanced theological education. The ESV Study Bible contains comprehensive content to the point that it no longer needs the help of other study Bibles, and is a book sufficient to satisfy believers' religious desires and need for piety. I highly recommend this book. I will probably never regret recommending this book until the day I die.
– Pastor Namjoon Kim (Open Church)

Revival and Reformation's translation of the ESV Study Bible was a great achievement. All Christians and pastors have a thirst for how to understand the Bible more easily and clearly, and the ESV Study Bible is an annotated Bible that helps them understand the Bible easily and clearly. The original English version gave the impression of being difficult due to the limited type and tight text, but I am very pleased with the translation of the History of Revival and Reformation, as the text is clear and easy to read, and the translation is also good. Many pastors and believers will be able to boldly enter into the truth of the Bible through this book.
– Pastor Seo-Taek Kim (Daegu Eastern Church)

God the Holy Spirit gives life and enriches that life through the Bible. Therefore, the highest goal of the Study Bible is to provide the best, carefully selected materials to help you understand the Bible in an accurate, beautiful, and humble way. It must support a vivid understanding of the text in a way that is easy, yet does not miss the point and depth, and is rich but not distracting. The point is to provide excellent data while making people love the Bible text without being buried in the data. I have yet to see a book that achieves this goal as well as the ESV Study Bible. I pray that this book will open your eyes to new discoveries of the value of the Bible and awaken an unquenchable desire for the Word of God.
– Pastor Yoongi Kim (Southern Central Church)

The ESV Study Bible is the best book in this field, not only showing the position of classical orthodox theology that advocates Biblical inerrancy, but also revealing the essence of modern evangelical theology. Moreover, the ESV Study Bible is not only a great spiritual blessing, but it is also a must-have on the shelf that can be read with confidence in understanding the Bible because it provides insight into the flow and various views of evangelical interpretation of the Bible.
– Professor Jichan Kim (Chongshin Graduate School of Old Testament)

The ESV Study Bible deepens our understanding of the Bible text. If you carefully read all the explanations from Genesis to Revelation in the ESV Study Bible, you will develop a broad understanding of the Bible and establish God's redemptive history and Christian worldview. The ESV Study Bible is of great benefit not only to pastors but also to ordinary believers because it teaches the Word of God in a healthy way and delivers correct knowledge. I sincerely hope that the Korean church will have many pastors and believers who follow Jesus by using the ESV Study Bible to their benefit.?
Professor Kim Hee-seok (Old Testament Theology, Chongshin Graduate School)

This is an excellent family annotated Bible that every Christian family in Korea must have at least one copy of and can use as food for the faithful souls' journey of faith. The simple but difficult Word of God is provided with various helpers such as footnotes, charts, maps, volume overviews, appendices, redemptive historical interpretation, and Bible reading schedules, to help readers get closer to the heart of God. It won't be easy to find a better study Bible than this. It is the best gift given by revivalists and reformers for the spiritual strength of Korean church believers.
– Professor Hojun Ryu (Dean of Baekseok University Graduate School of Theology)

Today, we live in an era where even though we have the same Bible, we hear completely different things. So, I am hearing the lamentation of believers, “I don’t know who is right.” Sola Scriptura, which the Christian church had long advocated, has collapsed, and it has now become a stark reality that each person must understand the Bible and live their faith and life according to their own opinions. Anyone can know God and the blessings and joy of salvation only through the Bible, but the Bible has now become something that can be cooked according to each person's opinion. It is the earnest wish of all believers that there be teachers, preachers, and good guides to correct such reality. I believe that this 'ESV Study Bible' is the best guide that will meet such needs in a very timely manner.
I believe that this guide is sufficient to provide safety and balance to believers who have been exposed to too many different interpretations of the Bible and to those who want to properly believe in Jesus. Through this best guide, we hope that Korean church members will no longer be deceived by false teachings and opinions based on their own opinions, but rather will be able to taste the richness of God's Word, grow in their knowledge of God, and enjoy the joy of salvation.
– Pastor Soonyong Park (Heavenly Glory Church)

The ESV Study Bible guides us into what the Bible itself says. As we read this Bible, our expectations and understanding will become closer to its original teachings. It is a Bible that recognizes the authority of the Bible but provides guidance so that we do not forget the historical nature of reality that the Bible contains. If you read the carefully prepared overview and appendixes thoroughly, you will enjoy great benefits in your religious life.
– Pastor Youngsun Park (Nampo Church)

The Bible is an unrivaled bestseller loved by people all over the world, and is a book of wisdom, power, salvation, and life. The ESV Study Bible published this time is a masterpiece that is a compilation of existing Bible commentaries and numerous theological research books. Through this book, readers can meet the meaning and meaning of the Bible, their curiosity about theology in general, and various needs. What are the characteristics of this book? For readers' deep understanding, the contents of each book of the Bible are interpreted according to the paragraph structure of each chapter, but cross-references are added to important parts. And, when necessary, separate commentary was added, including maps, various charts according to optional items, and representatively, charts of the history of redemption in biblical theology. Above all, the highlight of this book is the appendix, which clearly describes in-depth theological topics necessary for faith, satisfying the spiritual needs of readers in a refreshing way, so you will never regret it.
– Professor Yohan Seo (Historical Theology, Chongshin University)

The ESV Study Bible, recently published by Revival and Reformation, is an unprecedented masterpiece in the history of study Bibles. Although various types of study Bibles published so far have their own advantages and charms, the ESV Study Bible provides by far the best service in terms of quantity and quality in terms of explanation of the text and related biblical and theological commentary. The background knowledge necessary to properly understand the contents of the Bible (the relevant passage and the wider text) is covered in detail, and the commentary and teachings are based on academic depth and are theologically sound at the same time.
The ESV Study Bible can be called a study Bible in name and reality because it helps enable study in various fields such as Bible interpretation, Bible background, doctrine, theology, and ethics. Therefore, I recommend this study Bible as a lifelong friend to all Christians who read, meditate, and study the Bible - whether ordinary believers or leaders.
– Professor Song In-gyu (Professor of Systematic Theology, Joint Theological Seminary)

Despite the fact that the Bible is the most loved book by all mankind, it is surprisingly difficult for laypeople to properly understand the Bible. The ESV Study Bible contains a variety of rich materials with the goal of reading the Bible properly. And the materials included are professional yet easy to read, reliable, and highly accessible. This Bible will be an excellent tool for laypeople to read the Bible correctly within the evangelical system. Samil Church recently encouraged all clergy and lay leaders to have one copy. We hope that more believers will receive the fresh challenge of healthy Bible reading from the ESV Study Bible.
– Pastor Taegeun Song (Samil Church)

I was very pleased to see Revival and Reformation publish a translated version of the ESV Study Bible. I have been using the English version abroad for a long time. I enjoyed keeping it next to my desk, and I am very grateful that it has now been translated and made known to Korean believers. I think the ESV Study Bible is one of the books that you should always have by your side when studying or meditating on the Bible. The publication of the ESV Study Bible will be a great opportunity for Korean church members to upgrade themselves through the Word. I hope that many readers will find this book a great help in their spiritual growth, and that it will be of great use to you as you immerse yourself in the world of the Word.
– Pastor Kyuhyun Lee (Busan Suyeongro Church)

The ESV Study Bible, a good annotated Bible that presents an evangelical position well, was published in the United States in 2008, and congratulations on the Korean version finally being released in 2014. Just as the old Geneva Annotated Bible had a great influence on believers, I believe that the ESV Study Bible will have an equally great influence. Some annotated Bibles have become a tool to spread erroneous theological ideas, but the ESV Study Bible is a book we can trust and read without such concerns because it was written by over 100 faithful evangelicals. I hope that through the ESV Study Bible, Korean church members will love the Bible and that the Korean church can become a church based on the Word of God.
– Professor Seunggu Lee (Hapdong Theological Seminary)

How thankful we are that the Schofield Reference Bible (1909), which contributed to the widespread dissemination of dispensationalism, was not published even though it was translated into Korean by early missionaries. This is because dispensationalism adheres to a different hermeneutics and eschatology than reformism. However, I think it is a valuable and precious blessing given to the Korean church that the ESV Study Bible, which has been available only in the original version, has now been fully translated into Korean. This book, compiled by 95 theologians and Bible teachers, contains various materials such as Bible interpretation, photographic data, doctrine and ethics, and is beneficial to Bible study. You can also check the interpretations of the ‘Day of Creation’ and the ‘Millennium’, but the authors provide readers with careful and sound interpretations, so you can read with confidence. If each family of believers who wish to understand God's written Word well and live according to it should have a copy of this study Bible and refer to it on a continuous basis, they will receive great benefit in their devotional life and maturity in faith.
– Professor Lee Sang-woong (Chongshin Graduate School of Systematic Theology)

As a theologian and a member of the Korean church, I am very happy about the publication of the Korean version of the ESV Study Bible. This is because the Korean church can be upgraded to the next level through the ESV Study Bible and can serve as a good foundation for moving toward Biblical Korea. I can confidently introduce the ESV Study Bible to anyone for three reasons. First, the writers are experts in each field of the Bible with sound theological positions. Second, it provides a redemptive historical explanation. Redemptive-historical explanation is a method that focuses on what God has done through history. Third, it provides basic and abundant materials in various fields, including an accurate explanation of the text, as well as an introduction to the Bible, various charts, and maps. In this respect, the ESV Study Bible will be a valuable companion in the Bible study of Korean churches. ?
– Professor Pilchan Lee

The ESV Study Bible is a great gift for the Korean church. There are many advantages of this Bible, but the first is that the explanations for each paragraph are accurate and detailed, and the summary is well summarized. Second, through very detailed cross-references, it clearly demonstrates the basic reformist principle that ‘the Bible interprets the Bible.’ Third, comparative phrases that do not appear often in Korean translations but appear in the original Hebrew and Greek texts are well organized. In addition, many of the writers are evangelical, especially reformists, it was written by good commentators, so the contents fit well together, and the translation was done by the best translators in Korea. We have made many great contributions to the Korean church and theological community in the history of revival and reformation, and we are confident that this ESV Study Bible will also benefit many pastors, seminarians, and laypeople. It will be of great benefit to you if you own one copy and read this study Bible completely once a year to study the Bible and lead a devotional life.
– Professor Dongmin Jang (Baekseok Theological Seminary)

This book has five faces. It is a revised version of the Bible that contains tens of thousands of rich cross-references, and it is the best commentary on the text with accurate analysis and in-depth commentary led by Reformed theologians. It contains tremendous content that does not require any additional literature for text-centered sermons. It is the optimal preaching material, the latest Bible study textbook that covers all existing Bible knowledge along with colorful maps, diagrams, and illustrations, and the best Reformed theological book that contains all biblical doctrines without losing sight of the historical flow of redemption.
– Professor Jeon Gwang-sik (President of Kosin University)

I believe that living without being able to enjoy and enjoy the Bible, the word of life, is a major cause of the pain and suffering of the church in our country. However, the precious Korean edition of the ESV Study Bible, led by good scholars who are widely recognized worldwide, has finally been published to help people read and study the Bible and to enjoy and enjoy the Bible. This study Bible contains good maps, appropriate explanations, and sound knowledge of the background, allowing you to read the Bible and enjoy refreshing and good explanations at the same time. This is a very useful book not only for new believers but also for those who teach the Bible as teachers or leaders. I highly recommend the ESV Study Bible to believers who are looking for a study Bible that they want to keep at home and open from time to time, and to believers who are looking for a book that can help Bible lovers enjoy the Bible to the fullest.
– Pastor Hwa Jong-bu (Namseoul Church)

The scope and theological faithfulness of the ESV Study Bible is truly admirable.
– John Piper (Bethlehem Baptist Church)

As the theological editor-in-chief of the ESV Study Bible, I believe that the work we have done together to create the ESV Study Bible has set a whole new standard for study Bibles.
– James Packer (Professor of Theology, Regent University)

The ESV Study Bible is a masterpiece, a monumental book. The ESV Study Bible is on a different level from any study Bible that has been released so far. The ESV Study Bible will be one of the works that will shape American Christianity for decades to come.
– Joe Carter (author, blogger)

The ESV Study Bible is the best Bible study material I have found in my 50 years of teaching the Bible. The annotations, papers, maps, and illustrations are all of the highest quality. The ESV Study Bible is a remarkable achievement.
– Jerry Bridges (author of 『Pursuit of a Holy Life』, speaker)

The ESV Study Bible is the most comprehensive study Bible ever published. Students who seriously study the Bible will be able to gain a deeper understanding of the Bible's text, background, and theological topics with this book. The ESV Study Bible is easy to use, beautifully produced, and would make a great gift for new believers as well.
– Graeme Goldsworthy (former professor at Moore Theological Seminary)

The ESV Study Bible is incomparably superior in quality. The ESV Study Bible's annotations, articles, and visual materials will become the standard for the 21st century.
– R. Kent Hughes (College Church)

With the publication of the ESV Study Bible, a new chapter in study Bibles has opened. The ESV Study Bible is a wonderful resource for Bible students. The ESV Study Bible was written by a group of leading scholars of our time and is the most informative and attractive study Bible currently available on the market. Elaborately produced maps and illustrations enhance the detailed annotations and thematically organized papers. I am a huge fan of the ESV Study Bible.
– David S. Dockery (President, Union College)

The ESV Study Bible sets a new standard for excellence. The craftsmanship put into every page, from insightful articles and knowledge-rich commentaries to clean design and beautiful illustrations, makes the ESV Study Bible an invaluable tool for students of the Bible. As a pastor, my wish is to place a copy of the ESV Study Bible in the hands of every member of our church.
– Joshua Harris (Covenant Life Church)

Over the past 25 years, study Bibles based on various revised Bibles and translations have abounded. There are many great study Bibles out there, but the ESV Study Bible is by far the best. The ESV Study Bible is a masterpiece written by numerous evangelical theologians with a wide range of regional and church backgrounds, providing not only clear and persuasive commentary on the biblical text, but also Old Testament theology, an introduction to the Pentateuch, an overview of the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles, and It is full of papers dealing with the same topic. Plus, full-color maps, photos, graphs and diagrams are strategically placed to fit the relevant area, which is the icing on the cake. Crossway Publishing has raised the standard of study Bibles for new generations to use.
– Eugene H. Merrill (Distinguished Professor of Old Testament, Dallas Theological Seminary, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Interpretation, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)

The annotations and annotations in the study Bible currently being sold are interesting, but they remain at an introductory level due to lack of space. However, the ESV Study Bible goes beyond this limitation and provides a richer and more detailed interpretation of the Bible text. Each page is filled with annotations and annotations that provide detailed explanations of the text, as well as numerous maps, definitions, and explanations, all organized into one volume. Without a doubt, from now on, this book will be the best Bible resource I have ever had.
– Paul L. Meyer (Professor of Ancient History, Western Michigan University)

The ESV Study Bible is the world's best one-volume resource for Bible reading, Bible study, and Bible education. The ESV Study Bible, co-authored by outstanding evangelical theologians, provides a wealth of theological, historical, grammatical, and archaeological information in papers, introductions, and commentaries. The visual effects are also stunning. Beautiful images encourage readers to continue studying the Bible and help them gain a deeper understanding of the places and settings depicted in the Bible.
– Philip Ryken (10th Presbyterian Church)

The ESV Study Bible is a treasure. This is a beautiful book filled with rich material. The ESV Study Bible is not only beneficial to seminarians or pastors who have been serving for a long time, but is also helpful to new believers.
– Albert Mohler (President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary)

The ESV Study Bible was written with outstanding wisdom, extensive knowledge, and deep faith by scholars who believe the Bible is the Word of God. ESV Study Bible authors apply God's Word with both their intellect and their emotions. The ESV Study Bible is excellent. The ESV Study Bible is a great gift to the church, a valuable tool for preachers, and a great resource for God's people.
– Brian Chappell (President of Covenant Theological Seminary)

The ESV Study Bible is a masterpiece. It is full of useful information, including innovative production methods, beautiful visuals, and commentary by great theologians.
– Mark Dever (Capital Hill Baptist Church)

The authors of the ESV Study Bible are theologians who take the most conservative, firm, and balanced positions. These are faithful interpreters who are confident in the authority of the Bible, and it is safe to say that they are the best team for this project. The introduction, overview, and study notes for each book of the Bible are helpful in understanding the Bible. Charts, pictures, and maps vividly show what events occurred, when and where. The excellent introduction will greatly assist readers in understanding the canon of the Old and New Testaments, the reliability of ancient manuscripts, biblical interpretation and application, and other difficult topics of Christian doctrine. I recommend this gem of a book not only to students and pastors who want to better understand the Bible, but also to all Christians.
– GK Beal (Professor of New Testament Studies, Graduate School of Bible and Theology, Wheaton College, Kenneth T. Wesner Chair of Biblical Studies)

The ESV Study Bible is accessible, comprehensive, theologically sound, beautifully and usefully organized, and replete with maps, diagrams, and carefully selected cross-references and illustrations. I am confident that the ESV Study Bible will be an immediate and solid resource for raising Christians. It will be useful for high school students, college students, seminarians, busy pastors, and Bible teachers alike. I will happily use the ESV Study Bible, which is in many ways the most advanced and informative, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
– Ligon Duncan III (First Presbyterian Church, President of the Confessional Evangelical Association)

The clarity and beauty of the ESV Study Bible is outstanding. In our age of denial of absolute truth, it is amazing to have complete confidence in the reliability and truth of the Bible. The best Bible scholars and teachers of our time have shown very clearly and persuasively through the ESV Study Bible that the Bible is trustworthy and true. The ESV Study Bible is an excellent resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible. I will also be reading the ESV Study Bible diligently.

The ESV Study Bible is truly outstanding, with special illustrations and full-color maps. Not only are the charts attractive, they are detailed and accurate, and contain up-to-date archaeological information. 3D illustrations and 200 maps that vividly reproduce cities and buildings from the Bible are reminiscent of an atlas. This is the best study Bible complete with high-quality translation, annotations by top professional theologians, and beautiful illustrations.

The ESV Study Bible is an invaluable resource not only for those who already know the treasure-like value of the Bible, but also for those who do not yet know the wonder and richness of the Bible. I especially like how the treatise and commentary emphasize the great redemptive history and connect the various parts and themes of the Bible. I am deeply grateful for this masterpiece, full of rich insight and written in a scholarly yet accessible manner.
