In 2001 Crossway Books
introduced the English Standard Version of the Bible. Since, its popularity has
grown and is being used by more and more people and churches. We did a review in
Equip for Ministry of the ESV when it was released. We will not repeat
except to say that for those who want an accurate, readable, and reliable
translation of the Bible, the ESV is our recommendation.
Crossway Bibles has printed the
ESV in a variety of different styles and sizes. For example: large print, a
pocket size edition of the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs, Leather bound and
hard back editions, thin line, and a Children’s edition--not a children’s
version which changes the translation.
In our effort to encourage
people to read and study the Word, we mention this publciation. The ESV Daily Reading Bible is “designed to provide a flexible and
complete Bible reading plan to guide you through the Bible on a daily basis.”
The publisher has formatted the
Daily Reading Bible to help you read from the Old Testament, New
Testament, and Psalms. If you follow their design, you will read through the Old
Testament once and through the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year.
The Daily Reading Bible can be used for personal devotions, Bible study,
and in the church. Unlike the earlier One Year Bible, which has a daily
section from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs, this
edition starts at Genesis and continues through Revelation. The days are listed
in the margins throughout. For example: January 1 begins with Genesis, Matthew,
and Psalm one. The 365 days are listed at the beginning of this edition.
