ESV Study Bible!!!!

Well the ESV Study Bible is coming out in October and one of my professors is the key contributer on the Pastoral Epistles, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus for those that don't know. That's right Dr. Ray Van Neste wrote the reference notes for this "filthy" and "sick" study Bible, which was apparently well received by the new converts it was shown to at Mars Hill Church Seattle.* So props to Dr. Van Neste for being "filthy sick" and contributing to this new Study Bible. Maybe he can get me a copy before October. I'll have to ask him in class today. For more on the ESV Study Bible Click Here. For Dr. Ray Van Neste's blog on pastoral ministry Click Here.

“The ESV is a dream come true for me. The rightful heir to a great line of historic translations, it provides the continuity and modern accuracy I longed for. Now the scope and theological faithfulness of the ESV Study Bible study notes is breathtaking. Oh how precious is the written Word of God.”

John Piper, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church

“The ESV Study Bible is the most important resource that has been given to the emerging generation of Bible students and teachers. The ESV Study Bible is the best. Period.”

Mark Driscoll, Preaching Pastor, Mars Hill Church; President of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network

“The ESV Study Bible is the finest study tool I have seen in fifty years of Bible teaching. The notes, articles, maps, and illustrations are all of the highest quality. It is a great achievement!”

Jerry Bridges, speaker, bestselling author of The Pursuit of Holiness

“Outstanding! The ESV Study Bible is a treasure—a beautiful volume, filled with a wealth of resources. It will be just as useful for the seminarian and long-time pastor as it will be accessible to the brand-new Christian.”

R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“I can’t imagine a greater gift to the body of Christ than the ESV Study Bible. It is a potent combination indeed: the reliability and readability of the ESV translation, supplemented by the best of modern and faithful scholarship, packaged in an accessible and attractive format. A Christian could make no wiser investment for himself, a pastor could recommend no better resource for his congregation.”

C. J. Mahaney, President, Sovereign Grace Ministries

*Note: For those of you who wear khaki pleated pants and tuck in your shirt, this is a really good endorsement. This is according to Mark Driscoll's blog on the Vox Pop Network.
