I received a free sample of the ESV study bible over the gospel of Luke today.  It looks to be a very helpful new study tool and has wonderful reviews from many evangelical leaders, including, Jerry Bridges, John Piper, Al Mohler, Mark Driscoll, and CJ Mahaney.   It appears to be an OT Surveay, NT Survey, and Study Bible all rolled up into one volume.  The intro, outline, and charting of key themes before each book are well done.  The color maps and diagrams are outstanding.  The study notes are helpful.  I need to study more, but I do not find them quite as helpful as the New Geneva Study Bible or even MacArthur’s, but they are on par with these study bibles.  If you are interested in purchasing one through Edgewood Bookshop please let me know, because it looks as if we will have to pre-order or wait.  It retails from $49.99 for hardback, to $239.99 for Calfskin.   Bonded leather retails for $74.99 and genuine for $94.99.   Early orders should receive discounts ranging between 30-40% off.
