Holy Bible

by Anonymous

These are Cambridge's first Bibles to use the dignified, expressive language of the English Standard Version (ESV). The English Standard Version is a literal translation from the original texts, firmly rooted in the tradition of Tyndale and King James but without archaic language. Published at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is closest in style to the RSV and is well suited to public reading and memorization.
This is a center-column reference Bible presented in the Pitt Minion format: the Bible text is compact yet easy to read, while the Bibles themselves are slim and elegant.
There is a choice of both black- and red-letter styles, with full cross-references, a concordance, and color maps. All the Bibles are printed on high-quality India paper and Smyth-sewn, with a ribbon marker. Cover styles range from an attractive two-tone faux leather to beautiful goatskin leather.

Reviews

[Josiah Chandler · Rating 5 out of 5]

amazing!

[Valerie Valerie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The 5 star rating is not necessarily for entertainment nor enjoyment, but as a regular discipline and study of truths. That said, the literary aesthetics are sublime, particularly in the Psalms. English Standard Version seems to be one of the more accurate translations, that is readable, without being folksy nor sentimental. Some of the paraphrases seem trendy, lite and casual unlike this translation. This is a good read, but one book (or section) at a time, as there is much to digest and ponder.
