The ESV Study Bible

I love the ESV translation of the Bible and just learned of a soon-to-be released study Bible in the ESV translation. The web site contains a link to a Blog which allows the reader to see portions of Colossians and Ephesians as well as introductory notes to the books.

I found the introductory notes to be scholarly enough to avoid being labeled as fluffy, but not too heady to be beyond understanding. It's meaty enough to pique interest and make you feel as though you're digging into the background and gaining insight.

The ESV translation is easy to read with a sufficient stretch so that you don't feel as though you're reading today's newspaper which is dumbed down. The flow of the ESV is smooth and understandable.
