The English Standard Version (ESV) is an "essentially literal" translation of the Bible, emphasizing word-for-word accuracy and precision along with literary beauty and readability. Based on these classic principles of translation, the ESV Bible is ideally suited for personal reading, for public worship, for in-depth study, and for Scripture memorization - a Bible translation for all of life.
A Free CD-ROM ($60 value) containing various Biblical resources is offered with Bible purchase.
