ESV Study Bible worth a look

I haven't put my hands on the real thing, but the online version of the ESV (English Standard Version) Study Bible looks great (click on the image below). Crossway has opened the entire book of Matthew for virtual tourists, with all its notes, maps, articles and other resources. Apparently everyone who buys a paper copy will also receive a code which will allow full access to the complete online version.




At the site, by clicking on the Features tab, you can browse the introductions to several books, including Psalms, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Luke, Ephesians, Colossians and Revelation. In addition, the entire book of Jonah is available for download as a PDF file.

A postscript for all of you with mobile devices: The ESV Study Bible will soon be available in a variety of platforms for your smartphone or PDA.

I haven't poked around the online version much yet, but I do have a copy of the "real thing" at home and concur that this hefty volume is worth a look. I spent 6 months checking footnotes (freelance) and there's a lot of really good info in there!

If you ever do get your hands on a hard copy, check out the colophon page in the very back - my name is listed! :)
