I do like the cover and sewn binding. I am not much for the ESV. However, I am passively looking for an ESV with Apocrypha for my brother-in-law for Christmas. Their household is an ESV only house (similar to a KJV only type, but not as extreme...yet). This may be an option, if it is reasonably priced.
Last I checked, there was one American seller on ebay that had a few.
Bought this. I use the KJV for private devotion but wanted to use an ESV for bible study. Thank you for the review.
Thanks, Anglicanus.
I dig the cover art on both! It's interesting there being an Anglicized ESV w/ Apocrypha - seems like a further attempt to reach Anglicans and Catholics on the other side of the pond with an alternative to the NRSV. I'm not big on the ESV myself, but there's little doubt it's quickly becoming something of a standard Bible, at least as much as one translation can be these days!
I think Crossway are seeking full spectrum global domination. There's now an ESV-CE (Catholic Edition), and a Cornerstone Edition, published, surprisingly, by Cambridge. The dioceses of Scotland and England & Wales are both switching to the ESV-CE for their Lectionary Readings, maybe next year. Currently they use the RSV-CE. That will probably mean changes to the Divine Office (called The Liturgy of the Hours in the US) as well as the Missal. I've tried (and failed) to get into the ESV. My go-to easy read is the NKJV. Pity Thomas Nelson never translated the Apocrypha .
It's somewhat funny: the ESV and NRSV are not that far apart, at all. Yet conservatives and liberals, mainliners and evangelicals tend to use them (sometimes) to draw up battle lines.
I hereby commit to give some attention to the NRSV, in the name of inter-translational outreach.
@@DavidWilson-hd6iz was hoping you'd chime in, David. Thanks! Such intrigue and hidden machinations in the cutthroat world of Bible translating.
(Which, only being slightly facetious: from Tyndale to today, not a few have lost their heads and lives in this business.)
@@DavidWilson-hd6iz It does seem that way! Crossway is a machine. I would love to see more Evangelical translations add the Apocrypha.
@@ma-mo Funny enough for me, I was raised Mainline where I was given Evangelical translations like the NIV, and then as adult attending an Evangelical church I discovered and read the NRSV.
I'd buy it just for the covre! Cool version, very unique.
British Spinal Tap ESVs go up to 11.
There's a review for the ESV Readers Bible at Amazon UK where the reviewer complains about the amount of typos in it, saying that the letter "u" is missing in several words. Not sure if it's British humour / humor or not.
Edit: Here's the review...
2.0 out of 5 stars Spelling mistakes throughout

I was really excited when this arrived.
I read the preface and... there was a spelling mistake.
I have had a quick flip through, and there are spelling mistakes littered throughout the text itself.
e.g.: according to this Bible, 'Saul clothed David with his armor [sic]'.
Indeed, the press seems to have been very short on 'u's, as they are often missing.
The idea of having a Bible that reads like a normal book is a really good idea.
It's really disappointing that the editors have been so lacking with regards basic English.
Please will someone let me know if there is a properly-edited version of this?
If that's a joke, that is top-shelf trolling.
@@ma-mo I suspected it might be some sort of British passive-aggressive way of asking for an Anglicised / Anglicized version :)
Now *that* is none more English! Thanks for sharing that review, that is great.
"Kind of like when you're in the office and sneak off a print job...." ?! 😀
I mean, I've heard of such things taking place...
I was just re-watching this, talking myself into buying a copy. About 5:45 you mention the ghosting. Maybe you know this already, but if you put a black sheet of card / paper behind the page, it reduces the ghosting.
I've been using this for Morning and Evening Prayer every day lately, so it clearly doesn't bother me that much!
I just watched the video and I was resistant to get an ESV version for so long. Now it's my daily reading version because it flows so smoothly. Did you ever end up warming to this particular bible with the paper and layout?
It's a fine Bible, and I use it regularly. I do still struggle with reading it in low light, but that's the fault of my own eyes. This really is one of my favorite Bibles, for form factor, unique cover, translation and inclusion of the deuterocanonical books. Very much still recommended.
Well good to know you're able to read it. I may have consider it now because of your review! Thanks again
plz tell me what are those metal like tiny clips you have put on the pages, possibly as the indexing marking for books. They look great, and must be plastic. i need its name and to see if they are available here.
They are called Book Darts. They are indeed metal, very thin and flexible. They mark your page AND your place on the page. They stay in place until you want to move them. Highly recommended.
can you tell which font this publication has used? does spck also use the same Milo font as Cambridge Cornerstone ESV?. ? Unfortunately its too big and heavy. I will check if this is available in India for half the price as they are printed in India.
Unfortunately, I don't have that Bible to compare. Perhaps someone else can answer.
I watched the review of Cambridge Cornerstone elsewhere and the huge chapter numbers are same with this one, but I couldn't compare the font. I assume they are the same as SPCK is also a British company.@@ma-mo
And the answer is none. None more English.
Courrect
@@ma-mo I must state for the record that Mrs. TSB hates that movie and did not share my amusement at the reference.
@@ThriftStoreBibles I'm not sure my wife has ever watched it with me (apart from a brief clip I just had to show her in which her doppelganger appears briefly on screen).
@@ma-mo I think Mrs. TSB would be jealous! (of never having seen it, that is.)
Can someone donate me this bible
Such an ugly cover and font.
No accounting for taste, I suppose: I rather like the cover. The font doesn't impress me one way or the other.
@@ma-mo I recently paid for the Cornerstone ESV Catholic Edition, and was dismayed to find it's this very edition pretty much, down to the weird font and book headings etc. Sort of disappointing for a 'premium' bible.
