Thank you. Our church went to ESV pew Bibles last year. Now I can get a study Bible, too :>)

Ping to a few who might be interested.
I look over study Bibles very closely before purchasing one. The stance of the editors on the Covenantal vs. Dispensational debate is critical in making my decision.
Tommorrow I will post a similar article on the equally important the topic of soteriology.

That's such a good site, but they get so silly when they write about dispensationalism. I swear, they have no clue about what it is. Except it's bad. Because it's slightly younger than covenant theology. So it can't be right.

Cool. My ESV
Reformation Study Bible isn't worn out yet, though. It took a beating early on, but with the duct tape in place it'll last a good while.
How is the binding???? Call me a book snob, but I hate spending serious book money on expensive glued together Bibles.

Didn’t much care for the reading style of the ESV. Still sticking to the NASB or the KJV for my day to day English reading.
All in all though, i really liked the style of the 1952 RSV before the National council of churches perverted it with that abomination called the NRSV. While that bible had it’s faults, it was the best available balance between readability and fidelity to the text.

You know, I think that everyone on the religion forum here has more Bibles of more translations than the average person.
I also think that most of us have at least a few that we never use and that don’t have sentimental meaning for us.
I know that that’s been true of me.
Most evenings, I have the privilege of doing my exercise walking with the head of the “Bible Foundation”, a small non-profit that sends Bible new and “recycled” all over the country and the world and helps others to do it too. Jerry tells me endless stories of how God is enabling him to spread scripture.
Take a look that their web sites:

and
http://www.bf.org
[Can someone make these real links for me?]

Just got my hardcover today. Beautiful. And the online version is, simply, spectacular.
