ESV Student Study Bible (Trutone, Navy/Slate, Timeless Design)

We bought this for a Christmas present and it was exactly what we wanted. It is the perfect size for taking to church and using for study a t home. Our son especially loved the two tone leather design of the cover.

I love the ESV Student Study Bible and use it when with my fellow students.

Crossway offers many options for study bibles — almost too many. They generally fall into “full” and “compact” versions. The compact reduces the amount of notes for portability. The “student” bible is one of the compact versions, aimed at students. Despite the name, I found this bible perfectly appropriate for adults and bible students of any age or profession. What makes this bible stand out is attention to detail in the content and the typography at a very approachable price. On the content side, I appreciate the amount of summarization and overview material. Including Old, New testament, a summary for each book, reviews/summaries of primary characters (e.g. Paul, Timothy, David , etc), Historical & regional summaries etc. The material is very thorough for beginners to experts. And crossway has been careful to distinguish from biblical word and non-biblical historical content. In a dense study bible, high quality Typography is very important to assist readability. Crossway does a great job using brown to distinguish diagrams, summaries, side-bars , maps and other highlights throughout each book. The bible and notes are both distinguishable type, and the paper is a good compromise of thickness and opaqueness. There’s only minimal bleed and it doesn’t affect readability for me ( i don’t use glasses). My only complaint is the lack of highlighting Christ’s word in red as found in many bibles. An acceptable setback. If you are new to the bible, the Crossway ESV Study bible is a great match for anyone . It’s a comprehensive study bible that’s also portable . And the ESV translation is both very readable and closer to a word-for-word translation than NIV. If you are on the fence , go for it. You may be using a bible app , or just curious about the bible. You’ll find so much historical and cultural influence throughout the bible. Nearly every story , every idiom, so many names of your friends and family , and so much of history has origins in the bible. Everyone should have one of these at home.

Molto comoda come formato, non pesa troppo ed è completamente di tutte le spiegazioni. Magari ci fosse anche in italiano

If you are getting on in life the text is very small so be prepared.
