ESV Literary Study Bible

In order to understand the content of the Bible, readers first need to understand how the content is expressed. The literary forms and features of the Bible are a crucial part of understanding the Bibleā€™s messageā€”both for its original audience and for readers today. Compared to conventional study Bibles that answer theĀ whatĀ of a passage, theĀ ESV Literary Study BibleĀ guides readers through the Bible text, showing how to read the passage. Combining over 1,200 insightful notes with the complete ESV Bible text, this volume highlights literary features such as genre, images, plot, setting, stylistic and rhetorical techniques, and artistry so readers can more richly understand the unity, flow, and profound depth of the biblical text. First published in 2007, theĀ ESV Literary Study BibleĀ has been refreshed with an all-new typesetting while retaining all the same content that helps readers discover and teach the message of the Bible embodied in its literary forms and features.

Features

  • 1,200+ study notes focusing on the literary elements of passages throughout the Bible
  • General introduction to the Bibleā€™s literary features
  • Introductions to each book of the Bible
  • Smyth-sewn binding
  • Type Size: 9.0 pt

ā€œTheĀ ESV Literary Study BibleĀ is a treasure trove of observation and analysis regarding how the form of Scriptureā€™s passages and accounts affects our understanding and application of the written content. I welcome this repackaging of an already classic volume that makes it even more accessible and helpful for accurate and insightful Bible exposition.ā€
Bryan Chapell,Ā Senior Pastor, Grace Presbyterian Church, Peoria, Illinois

ā€œPeople often talk about the importance of reading the Bible but less so about how to read the Bible. And while unlimited resources seem to be available to help Bible readers along the lines of a historical-grammatical method, it is theĀ ESV Literary Study BibleĀ that continues to be the best, and nearly singular, resource to encourage us along literary lines. Preachers of the Bible must know that Godā€™s word comes to us in a variety of literary formsā€”and that this work will help shape their reading and preparation.ā€
David R. Helm,Ā Chairman of the Board, Charles Simeon Trust; Pastor, Holy Trinity Church, Chicago

ā€œThat the Bible is inspired means that its imagery, structure, characterizations, and style are also inspired. When we overlook the literary dimensions of the Bible, we miss its full meaning and its aesthetic power. In theĀ ESV Literary Study Bible, Leland Ryken, one of our best Christian literary scholars, guides us through the Scriptures, unobtrusively helping us to appreciate what we are reading, pointing out the qualities and forms that make the Bible the greatest of all books.ā€
