My friend and former Southern Seminary classmate,John Botkin is now the pastor at Bangor Baptist Church in Bay City,Michigan. John has a fine weblog titled Dead Theologians Society. He has a nice review of the new ESV Study Bible,due to be released on October,15,2008.
As you know,I preach from the ESV because I believe it to have the best combination of readability and accuracy of any English translation of the Bible. This study Bible looks like it is going to be the best study Bible ever. It was my privilege to study under a number of the contributors:Peter Gentry,John Polhill, Thomas Schreiner,and Bruce Ware;and I am familiar with the scholarly work of many of the other contributors. The layout and typesetting is handsome,and the color maps and illustrations look gorgeous. I am looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. If you are thinking about buying a study Bible,hold off until October and check this one out!
