Customer Reviews for Good News & Crossway The ESV Literary Study Bible
Good News & Crossway The ESV Literary Study Bible
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 and commentary make it ideal for private devotional reading, for preachers and Bible teachers, and for use in group Bible studies.
- Size: 6" x 9"
- 8.5-point type
- Words of Christ in black
- No center-column reference system
- Online access to the notes available

This was given to me by a friend, and I am so thankful.
First of all I love the single-column format, it reads more like a book.
It doesn't have thousands of notes...a point which I like. In-depth notes have their place, but can tend to be rather distracting from the Word. The short commentary is just before each book and chapter, so it doesn't distract as you're reading the text. Great for reading straight through.
The print size is great for me, even though I wear glasses.
The overall size is not too bulky and big, just right to carry to church or wherever.
The quality seems good, especially for the low price.
I just received this bible, but believe understanding the literary style will really help in understanding the text.
Overall I would highly recommend this bible to anyone that is looking for an excellent reader's bible.

I think the literary study bible is great as for as the way it is presented but the yellow paper and the tiny print makes it very hard to read if your not under alot of light. I am very disappointed because I really like this bible.

We got this Bible for our son as a gift after he earned his Masters' Degree in (French) Literature. He took to it like a duck to water.

This is a readers Bible, ideal for teaching the Bible as literature. Also it has excellent notes and side bars, explaining the text within the context of biblical narrative. This will be an ideal tool for any student of Biblical literature, who desire too engage in biblical narrative.

If you have a hard time comprehending the events of the Bible and making sense of the entire message God has given within it's pages, then this Bible is for you. It is an excellent readers Bible, the commentary doesn't detract from the written Word, allowing any reading level to fully grasp God's message of salvation. Highly recommend!

The Literary Bible is all that and some more. It is so clear and enjoyable to read. I have a daily reading plan where i read a little each day, this Bible is so good it makes me want to keep reading!!! I really love this Bible! If you don't have it pick it up NOW! you won't regrete. Thank you Jesus for inspiring Leland Ryken and Philip Graham Ryken for putting this Bible together.

I really love the organization of this edition and how it matches the reading plan. The plan is similar to the DJ plan which I've used the past two years, but it is broken up in a much better way. The ESV translation combined with literary (rather than theological or hermeneutical) notes allows the text to speak directly to the heart in a clean and fresh way. I highly recommend this as a reading Bible.
