"The new English Standard Version ""TM"" translationis founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apartfrom other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an ""essentiallyliteral"" translation that seeks to duplicate theoriginal texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages. Relying on the work of more than 50 Bible scholars, as well as the input of a 60-member, multi-denominational Advisory Council, the translation committee chaired by J.I. Packer realized itsgoals of word-for-word precision and accuracy, literary excellence and readability, and depth of meaning. Written in language beautiful enough to be used for public reading, clear enough for preachingand devotions, and trustworthy enough for academic study, the ESV sets a new standard -- and is truly a Bible for all people."
