I am excited about the ESV Study Bible! On their web site they have just released a few articles…
“The ESV Study Bible has about 50 essays in the back of the Bible, addressing a number of issues that people inside and outside the church have questions about (e.g., the reliability of the Scriptures and their manuscripts, the canon of Scripture, world religions, how questions of ethics and theology relate to God’s Word, etc.) In addition there are a number of articles throughout the Bible, introducing major sections (e.g., the Pentateuch, the Gospels, etc.).”
Here are a few on ‘Reading the Bible’
Reading the Bible Theologically (J.I. Packer)
Reading the Bible as Literature (Leland Ryken)
Reading the Bible in Prayer and Communion with God (John Piper)
Reading the Bible for Application (David Powlison)
Reading the Bible for Preaching and Public Worship (R. Kent Hughes)
I am also excited about a few of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary professors being asked to contribute…Daniel R. Heimbach, David Alan Black, Andreas J. Kostenberger.
