ESV Student Study Bible (Paperback)

Very detailed explanations and comparisonseasy to understandgreat images to conceptualise

The faux leather backing is sturdy yet flexible and this Bible lays flat great. The notes are exactly the level I was looking for and do a great job at describing the cultural context of a particular verse, other verses to refer to for the same theme, and even alternate translations of a particular word. As a rather literal translation of ancient Biblical texts this is so useful, and the ESV translation captures the poetry and beauty, but doesn't always make for light reading. You'll have to read it slowly and revisit much of what you've covered to squeeze the interpretation out of it but you won't regret it.

Love it.. kids who love Bible to learn will get advantage..

Great quality - very pleased

Very niceIdealArrived on time

The delivery was quick and flawless. Even came before the actual scheduled date. The bible was what i expected and even more. Very portable easy to carry in a backpack. Imitation leather very good quality. I havent dived deep into the contents as yet but looks good from the browse. And has extrs notes etc. However i have looked at the back index where certain topics are highlighted its not in a format im used and is bit limited. Which was a bit dissapointment

Great read, highly recommended

A great bible.

The media could not be loaded. Such a beautiful Bible. Perfect for learning about the contents as it provides A LOT of information. Cant wait to read and learn more about Jesus.

Crossway offers many options for study bibles — almost too many. They generally fall into “full” and “compact” versions. The compact reduces the amount of notes for portability. The “student” bible is one of the compact versions, aimed at students. Despite the name, I found this bible perfectly appropriate for adults and bible students of any age or profession.What makes this bible stand out is attention to detail in the content and the typography at a very approachable price.On the content side, I appreciate the amount of summarization and overview material. Including Old, New testament, a summary for each book, reviews/summaries of primary characters (e.g. Paul, Timothy, David , etc), Historical & regional summaries etc. The material is very thorough for beginners to experts. And crossway has been careful to distinguish from biblical word and non-biblical historical content.In a dense study bible, high quality Typography is very important to assist readability. Crossway does a great job using brown to distinguish diagrams, summaries, side-bars , maps and other highlights throughout each book. The bible and notes are both distinguishable type, and the paper is a good compromise of thickness and opaqueness. There’s only minimal bleed and it doesn’t affect readability for me ( i don’t use glasses).My only complaint is the lack of highlighting Christ’s word in red as found in many bibles. An acceptable setback.If you are new to the bible, the Crossway ESV Study bible is a great match for anyone . It’s a comprehensive study bible that’s also portable . And the ESV translation is both very readable and closer to a word-for-word translation than NIV.If you are on the fence , go for it. You may be using a bible app , or just curious about the bible. You’ll find so much historical and cultural influence throughout the bible. Nearly every story , every idiom, so many names of your friends and family , and so much of history has origins in the bible. Everyone should have one of these at home.

it arrived on time and in perfect condition

The book is very organized, and easy to read, very recommended

Bought as a gift for someone and they really liked it. I have a similar study Bible from years ago and this one is a lot thinner than my previous one (and weighs a lot less). There are lots of extra bits of information which can really help dive deeper into the Bible and help understand better what the authors of each book is saying.
