Crossway has is releasing a flood of new formats of the English Standard Version Bible. Here is a short list from the ESV Blog.
The ESV Literary Study Bible approaches the Bible as literature and shows how the application of literary tools of analysis helps tremendously in reading and understanding the Bible. Readers are introduced to the literary features of each book of the Bible and to each section within each book.
While traditional Bibles are reference books, this is truly a reader’s Bible. The format (single-column, black-letter, 8.5-point text, no section headings) and commentary make it ideal for private devotional reading, for preachers and Bible teachers, and for use in group Bible studies.
Download a 16-page brochure (1.3MB PDF) with sample pages from The Literary Study Bible. $49.99, available in Fall 2007.
The ESV Large-Print Pew and Worship Bible will be available in three colors (red, blue, and black to match the current Pew and Worship Bibles) in summer 2007.
Two New Wide Margin Reference Bibles
The ESV Wide Margin Reference Bible will be available in Black TruTone and Portfolio Design TruTone (both for $54.99) covers in late summer 2007.
My very favorite: Two New ESV Journaling Bibles
The ESV Journaling Bible will be available in natural leather ($75.00) and plum ($34.99) covers in late summer 2007.
The ESV Journaling Bible allows readers to interact with the Scriptures as they read and study them. Its 2-inch ruled margins allow plenty of room for reflections, prayers, praises, and the like. The rules in these new Bibles have slightly more space between them than the ones in the original Journaling Bibles.
My review of the ESV Journaling Bible is here.
Cowhide Leather Thinline Bible
The ESV Thinline Bible will be available with a stylish, high-quality cowhide leather cover. The flap for closing and strap for tying make the new cover of this popular Bible even more distinctive.
Coming late summer 2007, this Bible sells for $69.99.
Finally, the folks at Crossway have an ESV Twitter out for those of you who are Twittering...
