The English Standard Version was founded on the conviction that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting it apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the 100 scholars and advisors who wrote the ESV have sought to duplicate the original texts as closely as modern English allows, while still maintaining understandability, word-for-word precision and beautiful expression.

The ESV Classic Reference Bible combines the ESV Bible text with an extensive system of more than 80,000 cross-references in the center column on each page. With its readable type, color maps, and a major concordance, the Classic Reference Bible is the first choice for personal Bible reading and in-depth study.
