They’ve put a lot of thought into this reading plan. I’ve come to expect a Bible to have a Bible reading plan. There are actually more entries than I expected. The concordance is 77 pages with three columns per page. I’m grateful that Crossway included them. These are by far my favorite articles because I’m very interested in the canon and Hebrew and Greek. There are also many articles about studying the Bible, manuscripts, the original languages, reading the Bible, interpretation, the canon of Scripture, Biblical archaeology, and much more. Some of the articles are doctrinally based and are heavily biased theologically. Most span many pages, and some, like the one on Biblical Ethics, cover many subtopics. The notes are very extensive and probably average about half the page. There are also lots of Hebrew and Greek definitions and explanations. Many notes give references to similar passages or passages that explain and substantiate the note. This note does draw a conclusion, but at least another view is discussed. As an example, the note for Genesis 1:26 for ‘us’ discusses the view of God speaking with angels and the view of God speaking to Himself. With that said, most of the notes in the ESV Study Bible offer more than one point of view. I use notes only as a guide or for a second opinion. All notes are written by fallible man and should always be cross-examined. Like any study Bible with commentary, the notes are going to be theologically biased, and like every study Bible I review, I caution readers to do their own study and not just rely on the notes in the Bible. The box says 2 million words with 20,000 notes. There is a vast amount of notes in this Bible. Some books have maps showing the setting of the book and a section that covers a key event in that book. Information covers author and title, date and location, theme, purpose, occasion, and background, key themes, history of salvation summary, timeline, and a detailed outline. The book introductions are very detailed and average around 5-6 pages (depending on the size of the book). This color appears throughout the Bible in tables, charts, chapter numbers, etc. The color for highlights is an earth-tone tan/green. These notes apply to large passages, spanning many verses.Īt the top of the left page is the book name, chapter, and verse that starts on that page and on the right page is the book name, chapter, and verse of the last verse on the page. Some notes have titles that are highlighted and in italics. The notes also include the portion of text they key to in bold. Commentary notes are in double-column format and appear under the translation notes. Translation notes are placed under the text and are keyed to the text with numbers. They also include the verse numbers in bold, making them easy to find quickly.

References are located on the inner margin and are keyed to the text with letters. The text is in single-column paragraph format.

Headings are maybe an 8-point and are italic. The print is just the right amount of darkness and is very consistent.

There is some show-through, but it’s not bad at all. That sounds like it should be very thick paper, but it feels thinner than that to me with about average paper and opacity. The liner is a thick vinyl/paper that is also brown to match the cover. I love browns and tans for Bible covers and I especially love the look and feel of this one. It’s one of the nicest imitation leathers that I’ve seen. This edition is TruTone Brown Cordovan with Portfolio Design.
