---------------------Background----------------------
The ESV Study Bible, created to help people understand the Bible in a deeper way to understand the timeless truth of God's Word as powerful and compelling, stands in the mainstream of most popular
English Bible Versions.
The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American
Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV).
In that stream, faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. The goal being to carry forward the legacy for a new
century.
To this end each word and phrase in the ESV has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, to ensure the fullest accuracy and clarity and to avoid under-translating or
overlooking any nuance of the original text. The words and phrases themselves grow out of the Tyndale-King James legacy, and most recently out of the RSV, with the 1971 RSV text providing the
starting point for our work. Archaic language has been brought to current usage and significant corrections have been made in the translation of key texts.
--------------------------- ESV translation philosophy-------------------------
The ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer. It seeks to be
transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and meaning of the original.
The ESV Bible is an essentially literal translation of the Bible in contemporary English, emphasizing "word-for-word" accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning.
Since its publication in 2001, the ESV has gained wide acceptance and is used and trusted by church leaders, numerous denominations, and millions of individuals around the world.
---------------------------Use of the ESV Bible--------------------------

-The MacArthur Study Bible by HarperCollins[15]
-The Reformation Study Bible by Ligonier Ministries[16]
--------------Testimony: --------------------------
“ESV Study Bible, released in October 2008, has received tremendous praise. Not only do great Bible teachers and scholars like John Piper, Mark Driscoll, R. Albert Mohler Jr. and R. Kent Hughes
endorse the ESV Study Bible, my very own Bible study teacher (my pastor's wife) gives it high marks. In March 2009, the ESV Study Bible became the first Bible ever to win the Christian Book of the
Year Award by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA). Selling out as soon as it reached bookstores, it also took the prize for best Bible. The ESV Study Bible is definitely a
front-runner on my Bible study”
