This is considered the most accurate current translation into English, and the reading flow is quite satisfactory, though I do miss some of the intimate/formal 'thee-thou' language of the KJV and RSV. This handsome edition has a limp bonded leather cover, is thumb indexed, has a gold edge, red letter, on good opaque paper, and in a larger font for relief of my ageing eyes. The Scofield III notes are sometimes repetitious, but as helpful as ever. The column references are at the margins rather than center, and the textual footnotes are at the bottom of the right column. This edition will please the most discriminating seeker of an ESV Bible.

All in all, this is a great study bible. It has very good footnotes and the study explaination sections are helpful and well written. It also has a great map section. Type size is easy to read. The only negative is the thumb indexing is in black but the letters are in gold, making it somewhat difficult to read. I enjoy the ESV version because is is a literal translation and is easy to read and understand. I would definately recommend this bible.

This Bible is wonderful. The quality, the price, the text, the version, the notes, the cross-references. It is a seminary class in itself. Praise God! :)
