ESV Study Bible Hardcover – Illustrated, 15 Oct. 2008

I have been wanting this for ages .Seems it on Instagram so I bought myself one .I am so glad I did as its so informative.Not keen on the cover design so for now just covered it in clear plastic as I know it will get dirty as it's White and I will be using it a lot .The pages are thin ( need to be) so will struggle to get highlighters but on every page so much information to help you understand each passage so no more googling when I don't understand. Well worth the money. Quite heavy as so big but I love it .God bless .

This is a fantastic study bible with thousands upon thousands of cross references between the two testaments.I would fully recommend purchasing BOTH the physical and digital versions of the book.It is also fully illustrated but the illustrations do not “get in the way” a lot of thought has been given in the design of the book.Highly recommendable !!

I have the book version of this bible and its a beast! So, for the price, I figured I wouldn't be crying if it wasn't a brilliant kindle version as I always have the book to go back to. Honestly, I'm surprised it's not charged more as a kindle version! I have the fire 10 and use the kindle app on it. This means all the pictures, info graphics, charts and maps are all in colour. The linkage from the text to the the notes, cross references, dictionary and so is superb and I've pretty much shelved my beloved paper version and happily use the kindle version. The guide at the beginning of this version explains how it all works and it took a read through once or twice to fully grasp it as it's a significant amount of text and how they've put it all together. I cannot comment on a kindle paper l, but on the kindle app on the fire tablet, it's the cats pyjamas!

I can't remember why I choose to buy this particular version of a Kindle Bible (Oh yes I do, I wanted an ESV to complete my Kindle set of Bibles which I'm easily able to carry around with me). Anyway, once I'd got it downloaded, I found it to be so helpful with loads of amplifying explanations of verses and so many charts and diagrams. A really helpful feature is that each of the charts and diagrams can be viewd on a web page if you need to see it in greater detail.Another helpful feature is the "Index" facility where you are able to type in a short code for each book and then a chapter number and you can quickly go to that new reference. So, for instance, if you're currently reading in Isaiah chapter 53 and need to quickly jump to John chapter 3, you simply hit the facilities key on the Kindle, click down to "Index" and type in "Jn 3" and there you are. I find this a much quicker system for re-direction than many others.I have a number of study type Bibles and find this one to be the best (from my personal point of view)

Most modern study bibles have fallen into apostasy in some form. Even the AMP has now fallen into supporting women leading the church, and the Macarthur study bibles are cessasionist - which quash the Holy Spirit and the spiritual gifts. This study bible is truly accurate and holds firm to biblical truth. Definitely recommended.

Whether you are religious or not, this is a fantastic read with study notes and has gone too such trouble with explanations, comments from scholars. A beautiful Bible. The only minor criticism is the writing is a bit small but overall it’s great

Lovely version of the Bible and is said to stand closer to the original ancient manuscripts. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is not for the Bible but for the notes. I was aware from other reviews that the notes were ‘off’ but they weren’t the main reason I bought this ESV version. However I felt I must point out that some of the notes are just not right and seem to be ‘people inspired’ rather than ‘Spirit inspired’. Checking one in particular at Luke 13:35, it directly contradicts another note on Psalm 118:26. So a great translation but don’t take the notes as gospel

Excellent value for money, especially the kindle version being under £10! As other reviews have mentioned, this version has been well thought out for the kindle, which was my main concern over whether to buy ebook versus hardback. The translation itself I find helpful in understanding God's word, it is clear and accurate as a word for word translation. Usually I prefer the nkjv, but for study purposes this is really excellent. The range of articles is fantastic and the study notes, cross references, concordance etc are all easily accessible on the electronic version. I don't doubt I will be dipping into this quite often for years to come. Couldn't recommend this highly enough!
