Holy Bible English Standard Version (ESV) Fuel Bible

First published in 2001, The ESV Bible carries forward the trusted legacy of the Bible in English – the legacy established first in the Tyndale New Testament (1526) and the KJV Bible (1611). With this legacy as the foundation, the ESV reflects the beauty and majesty of the original languages, first captured centuries ago by these early Bible translations.But the ESV also provides the most recent evangelical Christian Bible scholarship and enduring readability for today. The ESV translation process itself was based on the trusted principles of essentially literal translation – combining word-for-word accuracy with readability and literary excellence.

‘This is a fine, fresh and faithful translation, combining both elegance and accuracy to bring us a version of the bible that is anything but standard. The ESV brings us a text that is both readable yet scholarly. It is quite simply the best version we have today – clear, simple and illuminating’Martyn Percy, Principal of Ripon College Cuddesdon‘At last a translation that majors on accuracy, combined with a modern, fluent style. I am confident that in time the ESV will become the standard translation for the English speakingworld.’ The RT. REV. Wallace Benn, Bishop of Lewes, England‘Meticulous care and passionate research make the ESV a crisp, accurate, and valuable translation.’Max Lucado, Minister, Oak Hills Church of Christ‘At every level of congregational and individual Christian life, an accurate, consistent, and readable Bible translation is essential. The ESV is all those things’- William Taylor, St Helen’s Bishopsgate‘Dependability. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of the ESV. Reassuring. That’s the first word that comes to my mind when I think of the new Anglicised version! Confidence. That’s what every Christian can have when they use this version.’- Steve Timmis, Acts 29‘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’- John Piper
