Publisher's Synopsis
The new English Standard Version 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 translations comittee
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.
