A very inexpensive way to read an excellent translation! December 10, 2005 24 out of 29 found this review helpful
The ESV is easily among the best of the modern English Bible translations. (It compares favorably with the New International Version, the New King James Version, the New American Standard Bible, and the Holman Christian Standard Bible.)
It is definitely more of a word-for-word translation than most of its counterparts. However, it flows much easier than either the NKJV or the NASB. On the other hand, it avoids sounding too informal (like the HCSB).
Overall, it is a nice balance between the "formal" NASB and the "dynamic" NIV. It's just a shame that this translation is often overlooked due to a lack of agressive marketing on the part of the publisher.
Whether you are a member of a "conservative" Evangelical Christian denomination or a member of a "liberal" Mainline Protestant denomination, you will find much to appreciate about the English Standard Version of the Bible.
Don't be afraid to add one more translation to your personal library. The ESV is worth adding to your collection.
