Publisher's Synopsis
(Available in Burgundy or Navy hardcover)
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 translation committee 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.
