Great Bible for studying; understand how translations work.
I love this study Bible so much, I’ve bought it multiple times because the pages are kind of thin and I tend to ware my Bible out by going through the pages so much, but this thing is packed to the brim with so much information and I feel that I’ve learned so incredibly much from it, and it has been an Absolutely invaluable part of my spiritual journey. I am writing this review as I buy another copy for myself because my binding came off and so this time I’m going to buy one for my sister. I bought it for my husband as well last year. I recommend this to everyone who is looking to grow in their spiritual life with Jesus. ESV is a great translation as it’s word for word.I was going through some other reviews of this Bible and I noticed someone say it was “missing verses” and they had written in a missing Bible verse (Matthew 17:21) and if you know how to use the study Bible you will see that if there are little numbers next to a verse (a 4 in the corner here in this verse), it means you should reference the footnotes right below the scriptures, find the number, and you’ll see that it says “some manuscripts insert verse 21: but this kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting”. I think people need to understand that biblical translation isn’t something that one person does right and another does wrong necessarily. They’re based on which ancient manuscripts the translators think are the earliest and most reliable. Some manuscripts include certain sentences, and some don’t. In this case the verse is missing in the main text, but appears in the footnote and it’s because the translators are being honest about the evidence, they’re not hiding anything. The ESV chooses to follow the earliest manuscripts so they put the verse in a footnote instead of the main text. Other translations like KJV or NKJV follow the later manuscript so they include it. Same Bible, same meaning, just different manuscript choices.

Great Expository Study Bible!
I had downloaded the freebie ESV Bible for Kindle. I had read that the ESV translations are very good. I have been using the ESV as my primary Bible for a number of years and I have no major objections. (I do have some minor objections regarding how a few specific verses were rendered but this has been the case with any translation.) I have used this freebie Bible as a repository for sermon notes on my Kindle for several years and have been satisfied.I bought the ESV Study Bible in 2012 and have been using it almost daily since then. I was impressed with the reviews and at $8.54 (the price back then), I considered it a bargain considering the wealth of material. (Apparently, it has been revised since then and the price has gone up. I haven’t allowed my Bibles to be updated as I’m afraid my notes will be erased. I’m in the process of converting these to my YouVersion app. When that is done, I’ll see where the updates take me.)This Bible has impressive resources including dozens of maps, historical contexts, doctrinal explanations, and numerous essays by Biblical scholars. The list of contributors is top shelf. The introductions and supplemental content for each Bible book covers the situation the book covers, bios of the authors/main people, doctrinal takeaways, timelines, and other details that add to the understanding of the passages. The scriptural cross-references are well done. (It may be occasionally difficult for Kindle users to tap on a reference in those instances when a “page” has several references clustered together. Altogether the Kindle navigation is, for the most part, well done and intuitive.)There are also a number of essays that cover the canon of scripture, Biblical ethics, Doctrines, interpretation, archaeology, languages, world religions, cults, and numerous other topics that give a well-rounded examination of the pertinence and role of the Bible in the Christian worldview.One thing that you will NOT find is a lot of discussion and topical issues. This ESV is more appropriate for those with an expository bent. This Bible also is not very dogmatic when it comes to theology. It does not take positions on stances related to denominations and various flavors of orthodox Evangelical Christianity.I have just started to read another study Bible – but not because this one is lacking. I got a good deal on a Bible that is more topical and with authors I respect. This ESV study Bible will always have a place in my Kindle library.

Awesome Study Bible!
This is an amazing plethora of information! As I’m doing my “Bible Recap” daily study, I’m able to learn so much more about the subjects being talked about. My 20 minute study has become 35-40 minutes, but I’m leaning and retaining so much! I love being able to see where the scriptures come from and the people involved and what Gods message in it is. It explains so much and its a big book, but not so much that it’s too hard to handle. The paper is quite thin, so I did purchase and add some book tabs to make it easier to get to the book I’m looking for.

Very neat, notes are really helpful.

UPDATE: Matthew 17:21 was omitted from this bible. The NIV bible also omits it. Other verses were omitted also. I am starting to think I need to find an old used bible. So far I have found the book of Tobit and of Ruth missing. Lots of maps and diagrams. Lots of explanation of measurements (a shekel for instance). Lots of commentary. Almost good glossary.

I bought this as a second hand book and still in great quality. I love it that this study Bible provides context in a simple and clear way. There’s so much to explore and I’m looking forward to diving in. Pleased with this purchase.
