I’m looking forward to the release of the new ESV Study Bible. I’ve already pre-ordered mine. The folks at Crossway have made several lengthy samples available, enough to give you a good idea what the final product will be like.
I’ve copied a portion of an email from Crossway containing links to most of those samples, and pasted it below. I highly recommend the articles on “Reading the Bible.”
One other feature I’m excited about is the free online edition available to everyone who purchases a print edition:
The ESV Online Study Bible will provide additional unique features, including the ability to create personal online notes; to search and follow interactive links between notes, maps, articles, charts, timelines, illustrations, and cross-references; to listen to audio recordings of the ESV; and to access additional resources not available in the print edition—all available for free.
From the Crossway email:
