The English Standard Version (ESV) is a translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Published in 2001 by Crossway, the ESV was "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors."[9][10][11][12][13] The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.[1][2]

Genesis 1:1–3
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Crossway claims that the ESV continues a legacy of precision and faithfulness in translating the original text into English.[b] It describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."[14] It also describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning."[9]

Since its official publication, the ESV has received endorsement from numerous evangelical pastors and theologians, including John Piper, R. C. Sproul, and Kevin DeYoung.[15] As of July 2015, over 100 million printed copies of the translation had been distributed. In 2021, this figure had increased to 250 million.[8]

History

Pre-publication

During the early 1990s, Crossway president Lane T. Dennis engaged in discussions with various Christian scholars and pastors regarding the need for a new literal translation of the Bible.[16] In 1997,[17] Dennis contacted the National Council of Churches (NCC) and proceeded to enter negotiations, alongside Trinity Evangelical Divinity School professor Wayne Grudem, to obtain rights to use the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) as the starting point for a new translation.[18] In September 1998, an agreement was reached with the NCC for Crossway to use and modify the 1971 RSV text, thereby enabling the creation of a new translation.[18] Crossway moved forward from this position by forming a translation committee and initiating work on the English Standard Version. Crossway officially published the ESV in 2001.[16]

In 1999, World reported of "feminists" noticing links between Crossway and the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW).[18] Members of the CBMW had earlier been involved in criticizing plans made by Zondervan's New International Version (NIV) translation committee[c] to publish a gender-neutral edition of the NIV.[20] Grudem, who was president of the CBMW at the time, responded by stating, "This [translation] is not a CBMW project."[18]

Translation Oversight Committee

Chaired by Dennis, the fourteen-member Translation Oversight Committee was aided by more than fifty biblical experts serving as review scholars.[12] The translation committee also received input from the Advisory Council, having more than fifty members.[13] J. I. Packer served as general editor of the translation.[8] The translation committee features the following notable individuals:

  • Dr. Wayne A. Grudem (Research Professor, Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary)
  • Dr. R. Kent Hughes (Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church in Wheaton)
  • Dr. J. I. Packer (Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada)
  • Dr. Vern Sheridan Poythress (Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary; Editor, Westminster Theological Journal)
  • Dr. Gordon Wenham (Old Testament Tutor at Trinity College, Bristol; Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, University of Gloucestershire)[11]

Post-publication

In 2008, Crossway published the ESV Study Bible, which would go on to sell over 1 million copies.[21] In 2009, the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association named the ESV Study Bible as Christian Book of the Year. This was the first time in the award's 30-year history to be given to a study Bible.[22]

Debate surrounding translation philosophy

At the 2008 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, Mark L. Strauss presented a paper titled "Why the English Standard Version should not become the Standard English Version: How to make a good translation much better." In the paper, Strauss criticizes the ESV for using dated language, among other perceived issues, such as using gender-neutral language inconsistently in translation.[23] ESV translator William D. Mounce responded to Strauss's criticism:

While the content of the paper was helpful, I am afraid that it only increased the gap between the two "sides" of the [translation philosophy] debate. ... He kept saying that the ESV has "missed" or "not considered" certain translational issues. While I am sure they were not intentional, these are emotionally charged words that do not help in the debate. They are in essence ad hominem arguments focusing on our competence (or perceived lack thereof) and not on the facts. He was not in the translation meetings and does not know if we in fact did miss or did not consider these issues. ... The solution to this debate is to recognize that there are different translation philosophies, different goals and means by which to reach those goals, and the goal of the translator is to be consistent in achieving those goals. In all but one of his examples, our translation was the one required by our translation philosophy.[24]

Strauss invited Mounce to engage further through participation at the following annual meeting. In 2009, Mounce presented his formal response paper titled "Can the ESV and TNIV Co-Exist in the Same Universe?" In the paper, Mounce describes various points regarding his view of the need for both formal and functional translations.[25]

In October 2019, University of Oklahoma Sociology Associate Professor Samuel L. Perry published a journal article titled "The Bible as a Product of Cultural Power: The Case of Gender Ideology in the English Standard Version." In the article, Perry attempts to demonstrate "how a more critical approach toward 'the Bible' can provide richer, more sophisticated sociological analyses of power and cultural reproduction within Christian traditions." Perry argues that Crossway's ESV translation committee made "intentional, systematic changes" into the ESV for the purpose of being able to "publish and mass-market a text more amenable to conservative, complementarian interpretations." Perry further argues that the ESV translation committee "have engaged in more covert means of cultural reproduction, not only disseminating their interpretation of the biblical text, but manipulating the text itself."[26] The ESV Study Bible often details in its study notes why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.[d]

In 2020, the Ireland-based Association of Catholic Priests criticized the ESV for its position on the use of gender-neutral language, perceiving the use of terms such as "mankind" and "brothers" to be "not just out of sync with modern usage but are culturally regarded as diminishing and disrespectful of women."[28][e]

In June 2021, Samuel L. Perry published a journal article titled "Whitewashing Evangelical Scripture: The Case of Slavery and Antisemitism in the English Standard Version." In the article, Perry attempts to demonstrate how "the ESV editors, while modifying certain RSV renderings to establish transitivity for their text among complementarian/biblicist Christians, sought to establish intransitivity between the text and more pejorative social interpretations by progressively re-translating lexically ambiguous terms and introducing footnotes to obviate the Bible’s ostensible promotion of slavery and antisemitism."[29] In turn, Perry was interviewed by Salon regarding the content of the article.[30] Boyce College Professor of Biblical Studies Denny Burk points out that Perry makes a "significant error" in referring to Grudem as the general editor of the ESV.[31][f] In July 2021, Bible Study Magazine editor Mark Ward published an article to his personal blog in response:

Perry raises very important questions about Bible interpretation, and about the proper translation of fought-over words like "slave" and "Jew." ... So I carefully read not only the Salon interview but also the scholarly article in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion which gave rise to it. ... They [both] carry the same basic message. And that message is full of frankly cynical, acidic ideas about Bible study ... The first step in interpretation should be transitivity. You should try to fit what you read in the Bible in with your existing tradition. That's simple hermeneutical humility—as long as it's paired with a sincere desire to hold one’s tradition up to the light of Scripture. ... I can be grateful to Perry for some sharp observations, even some warning shots, while still insisting that any view that muzzles God, that severs the link between his intentions and his words, is rebellion. ... To offer "establishing transitivity with existing views" as a wholly sufficient view of evangelical Bible use is to take a small truth and make it the whole truth. It is to say to God, "We can't hear you because other people are talking."[33]

Literary attributes

Relationship to the Revised Standard Version

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version.[16][26][34] ESV translation committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952."[g] Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."[35]

Style

Theologian Tim Challies has praised the ESV for its commitment to literary excellence:

... the book that has most shaped my writing is the Bible—the ESV. Not only is this the book I’ve read most over the years, but it’s also the book I’ve studied the closest, and memorized most substantially. And then, of all the books I’ve read, it’s one of the finest in its literary quality. ... One thing I’ve always loved about the ESV is its superior use of the English language. Any translation involves a trade-off between precision and readability so that the most-literal translations also tend to be the least-readable. Though the ESV is a precise Bible, its translators chose to place a premium on literary excellence. ... They succeeded well, and the Bible they translated is beautiful to read—far more than any of its contemporaries.[36]

Crossway claims that the ESV "retains theological terminology—words such as grace, faith, justification, sanctification, redemption, regeneration, reconciliation, propitiation—because of their central importance for Christian doctrine and also because the underlying Greek words were already becoming key words and technical terms among Christians in New Testament times." It also claims that the ESV lets the distinct writing styles of the various biblical writers come through the translated text.[13]

Position on gender-neutral language

The ESV translation committee states that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original." The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[13]

Revisions and other editions

2007 text edition

Crossway published the first revision of the ESV text in 2007 as "ESV Text Edition: 2007." The revision makes minor changes to the 2001 text.[37]

Oxford Apocrypha edition

In 2009, Oxford University Press published the English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha. This edition includes the Apocrypha, placed at the back of the Bible, intended for "denominations that use those books in liturgical readings and for students who need them for historical purposes."[3]

2011 text edition

Crossway published the second revision of the ESV text in 2011 as "ESV Text Edition: 2011." The revision changes fewer than 500 words in total throughout 275 verses from the 2007 text. The changes were made in each case to "correct grammar, improve consistency, or increase precision in meaning."[38] A notable revision was made in Isaiah 53:5, changing "wounded for our transgressions" to "pierced for our transgressions" in the revised text.[39]

Gideons edition

In 2013, Gideons International permanently transitioned from the New King James Version to the ESV as their translation of choice for free of charge distribution Bibles. In addition to being granted licensing for the ESV text (for the purpose of distribution), Crossway gave Gideons International permission to modify the text to use alternative readings based on the Textus Receptus. The Gideons edition uses more than 50 alternative readings.[40]

2016 text edition

Crossway published the third revision of the ESV text in 2016 as the "ESV Permanent Text Edition (2016)." The revision changes 52 words in total throughout 29 verses from the 2011 text.[41] A notable revision was made in Genesis 3:16 to use a complementarian interpretation of the original text: switching "shall be toward" with "shall be contrary to" in the revised text.[42] The previous rendering can be found in the footnotes[43] (excluding any editions that specifically do not have footnotes, such as the ESV Reader's Bible[44]). The ESV Study Bible details in its study notes the revised interpretation in relation to a parallel understanding of 3:16 with both 4:7 (which shares the Hebrew word teshuqah; this verse having also been updated in the 2016 text) and Ephesians 5:21–32.[45]

Coinciding with the release of the revision, Crossway announced that "the text of the ESV Bible will remain unchanged in all future editions printed and published by Crossway."[41] However, in a statement from Lane T. Dennis the following month, the new policy was abandoned "to allow for ongoing periodic updating of the text to reflect the realities of biblical scholarship such as textual discoveries or changes in English over time."[16][46] In the statement, Dennis responded to public discourse surrounding the policy: "We have become convinced that this decision was a mistake. We apologize for this and for any concern this has caused for readers of the ESV."[47] The revision was subsequently republished as "ESV Text Edition: 2016."

Catholic edition

In 2018, the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India published the ESV Catholic Edition Bible (ESV-CE), which includes the deuterocanonical books in Catholic canonical order.[48] With permission from Crossway, a team of Catholic scholars reviewed the text of the ESV in light of the Vatican's translation principles as set forth in Liturgiam authenticam, making approved modifications where needed to adhere to Catholic teaching.[49][50][h]

In 2019, the Augustine Institute published the ESV-CE in North America as the Augustine Bible.[51][52] In October 2021, following these developments, the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge published its own version of the ESV-CE, newly typeset and with anglicized spelling, in multiple formats.[53]

Anglican edition

In 2019, Anglican Liturgy Press published the ESV with Apocrypha. This edition includes the Apocrypha, placed at the back of the Bible.[4][54] Having been approved by the ESV translation committee, the Apocrypha text found in this edition is a minor revision of the 2009 text published by Oxford University Press. A notable revision was made in retranslating the Book of Tobit.[55]

Use

Study Bibles

The ESV has been used as the Bible text for a number of study Bible editions, including but not limited to:

Liturgical

In August 2006,[66] the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod released the Lutheran Service Book (LSB), which uses the ESV as its primary Bible text. With permission from Crossway, the LSB occasionally uses an alternative reading of the ESV in accordance with its original translation principles.[67]

In April 2020, the Catholic Church in India started using a new English lectionary which uses the ESV-CE as its Bible text (excluding the book of Psalms, which uses the Grail Psalms translation instead).[68]

In July 2020, the Bishops' Conference of Scotland approved the preparation of a new lectionary based on the ESV-CE. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales also approved their own lectionary to be based on the ESV-CE.[69]

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life Crossway claims that the ESV continues a legacy of precision and faithfulness in translating the original text into English b It describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an essentially literal translation philosophy taking into account differences in grammar syntax and idiom between current literary English and the original languages 14 It also describes the ESV as a translation that emphasizes word for word accuracy literary excellence and depth of meaning 9 Since its official publication the ESV has received endorsement from numerous evangelical pastors and theologians including John Piper R C Sproul and Kevin DeYoung 15 As of July 2015 over 100 million printed copies of the translation had been distributed In 2021 this figure had increased to 250 million 8 Contents 1 History 1 1 Pre publication 1 1 1 Translation Oversight Committee 1 2 Post

Liturgical 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References 8 Further reading 9 External linksHistory EditPre publication Edit During the early 1990s Crossway president Lane T Dennis engaged in discussions with various Christian scholars and pastors regarding the need for a new literal translation of the Bible 16 In 1997 17 Dennis contacted the National Council of Churches NCC and proceeded to enter negotiations alongside Trinity Evangelical Divinity School professor Wayne Grudem to obtain rights to use the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version RSV as the starting point for a new translation 18 In September 1998 an agreement was reached with the NCC for Crossway to use and modify the 1971 RSV text thereby enabling the creation of a new translation 18 Crossway moved forward from this position by forming a translation committee and initiating work on the English Standard Version Crossway officially published the ESV in 2001 16 In 1999 World reported of feminists noticing links between Crossway and the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood CBMW 18 Members of the CBMW had earlier been involved in criticizing plans made by Zondervan s New International Version NIV translation committee c to publish a gender neutral edition of the NIV 20 Grudem who was president of the CBMW at the time responded by stating This translation is not a CBMW project 18 Translation Oversight Committee Edit Chaired by Dennis the fourteen member Translation Oversight Committee was aided by more than fifty biblical experts serving as review scholars 12 The translation committee also received input from the Advisory Council having more than fifty members 13 J I Packer served as general editor of the translation 8 The translation committee features the following notable individuals Dr Wayne A Grudem Research Professor Theology and Biblical Studies Phoenix Seminary Dr R Kent Hughes Senior Pastor Emeritus College Church in Wheaton Dr J I Packer Board of Governors Professor of Theology Regent College Vancouver Canada Dr Vern Sheridan Poythress Professor of New Testament Interpretation Westminster Theological Seminary Editor Westminster Theological Journal Dr Gordon Wenham Old Testament Tutor at Trinity College Bristol Emeritus Professor of Old Testament University of Gloucestershire 11 Post publication Edit In 2008 Crossway published the ESV Study Bible which would go on to sell over 1 million copies 21 In 2009 the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association named the ESV Study Bible as Christian Book of the Year This was the first time in the award s 30 year history to be given to a study Bible 22 Debate surrounding translation philosophy Edit At the 2008 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society Mark L Strauss presented a paper titled Why the English Standard Version should not become the Standard English Version How to make a good translation much better In the paper Strauss criticizes the ESV for using dated language among other perceived issues such as using gender neutral language inconsistently in translation 23 ESV translator William D Mounce responded to Strauss s criticism While the content of the paper was helpful I am afraid that it only increased the gap between the two sides of the translation philosophy debate He kept saying that the ESV has missed or not considered certain translational issues While I am sure they were not intentional these are emotionally charged words that do not help in the debate They are in essence ad hominem arguments focusing on our competence or perceived lack thereof and not on the facts He was not in the translation meetings and does not know if we in fact did miss or did not consider these issues The solution to this debate is to recognize that there are different translation philosophies different goals and means by which to reach those goals and the goal of the translator is to be consistent in achieving those goals In all but one of his examples our translation was the one required by our translation philosophy 24 Strauss invited Mounce to engage further through participation at the following annual meeting In 2009 Mounce presented his formal response paper titled Can the ESV and TNIV Co Exist in the Same Universe In the paper Mounce describes various points regarding his view of the need for both formal and functional translations 25 In October 2019 University of Oklahoma Sociology Associate Professor Samuel L Perry published a journal article titled The Bible as a Product of Cultural Power The Case of Gender Ideology in the English Standard Version In the article Perry attempts to demonstrate how a more critical approach toward the Bible can provide richer more sophisticated sociological analyses of power and cultural reproduction within Christian traditions Perry argues that Crossway s ESV translation committee made intentional systematic changes into the ESV for the purpose of being able to publish and mass market a text more amenable to conservative complementarian interpretations Perry further argues that the ESV translation committee have engaged in more covert means of cultural reproduction not only disseminating their interpretation of the biblical text but manipulating the text itself 26 The ESV Study Bible often details in its study notes why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation d In 2020 the Ireland based Association of Catholic Priests criticized the ESV for its position on the use of gender neutral language perceiving the use of terms such as mankind and brothers to be not just out of sync with modern usage but are culturally regarded as diminishing and disrespectful of women 28 e In June 2021 Samuel L Perry published a journal article titled Whitewashing Evangelical Scripture The Case of Slavery and Antisemitism in the English Standard Version In the article Perry attempts to demonstrate how the ESV editors while modifying certain RSV renderings to establish transitivity for their text among complementarian biblicist Christians sought to establish intransitivity between the text and more pejorative social interpretations by progressively re translating lexically ambiguous terms and introducing footnotes to obviate the Bible s ostensible promotion of slavery and antisemitism 29 In turn Perry was interviewed by Salon regarding the content of the article 30 Boyce College Professor of Biblical Studies Denny Burk points out that Perry makes a significant error in referring to Grudem as the general editor of the ESV 31 f In July 2021 Bible Study Magazine editor Mark Ward published an article to his personal blog in response Perry raises very important questions about Bible interpretation and about the proper translation of fought over words like slave and Jew So I carefully read not only the Salon interview but also the scholarly article in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion which gave rise to it They both carry the same basic message And that message is full of frankly cynical acidic ideas about Bible study The first step in interpretation should be transitivity You should try to fit what you read in the Bible in with your existing tradition That s simple hermeneutical humility as long as it s paired with a sincere desire to hold one s tradition up to the light of Scripture I can be grateful to Perry for some sharp observations even some warning shots while still insisting that any view that muzzles God that severs the link between his intentions and his words is rebellion To offer establishing transitivity with existing views as a wholly sufficient view of evangelical Bible use is to take a small truth and make it the whole truth It is to say to God We can t hear you because other people are talking 33 Literary attributes EditRelationship to the Revised Standard Version Edit The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version 16 26 34 ESV translation committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent or about 60 000 words of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001 Grudem states that the committee removed every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952 g Although Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee is simply the best of the best of the KJV tradition 35 Style Edit Theologian Tim Challies has praised the ESV for its commitment to literary excellence the book that has most shaped my writing is the Bible the ESV Not only is this the book I ve read most over the years but it s also the book I ve studied the closest and memorized most substantially And then of all the books I ve read it s one of the finest in its literary quality One thing I ve always loved about the ESV is its superior use of the English language Any translation involves a trade off between precision and readability so that the most literal translations also tend to be the least readable Though the ESV is a precise Bible its translators chose to place a premium on literary excellence They succeeded well and the Bible they translated is beautiful to read far more than any of its contemporaries 36 Crossway claims that the ESV retains theological terminology words such as grace faith justification sanctification redemption regeneration reconciliation propitiation because of their central importance for Christian doctrine and also because the underlying Greek words were already becoming key words and technical terms among Christians in New Testament times It also claims that the ESV lets the distinct writing styles of the various biblical writers come through the translated text 13 Position on gender neutral language Edit The ESV translation committee states that the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original The committee expands on this position in claiming that although the ESV avoids using gender neutral language for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text the translation does utilize gender neutral language in specific cases The committee further state that their objective was transparency to the original text allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present day Western culture 13 Revisions and other editions Edit2007 text edition Edit Crossway published the first revision of the ESV text in 2007 as ESV Text Edition 2007 The revision makes minor changes to the 2001 text 37 Oxford Apocrypha edition Edit In 2009 Oxford University Press published the English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha This edition includes the Apocrypha placed at the back of the Bible intended for denominations that use those books in liturgical readings and for students who need them for historical purposes 3 2011 text edition Edit Crossway published the second revision of the ESV text in 2011 as ESV Text Edition 2011 The revision changes fewer than 500 words in total throughout 275 verses from the 2007 text The changes were made in each case to correct grammar improve consistency or increase precision in meaning 38 A notable revision was made in Isaiah 53 5 changing wounded for our transgressions to pierced for our transgressions in the revised text 39 Gideons edition Edit In 2013 Gideons International permanently transitioned from the New King James Version to the ESV as their translation of choice for free of charge distribution Bibles In addition to being granted licensing for the ESV text for the purpose of distribution Crossway gave Gideons International permission to modify the text to use alternative readings based on the Textus Receptus The Gideons edition uses more than 50 alternative readings 40 2016 text edition Edit Crossway published the third revision of the ESV text in 2016 as the ESV Permanent Text Edition 2016 The revision changes 52 words in total throughout 29 verses from the 2011 text 41 A notable revision was made in Genesis 3 16 to use a complementarian interpretation of the original text switching shall be toward with shall be contrary to in the revised text 42 The previous rendering can be found in the footnotes 43 excluding any editions that specifically do not have footnotes such as the ESV Reader s Bible 44 The ESV Study Bible details in its study notes the revised interpretation in relation to a parallel understanding of 3 16 with both 4 7 which shares the Hebrew word teshuqah this verse having also been updated in the 2016 text and Ephesians 5 21 32 45 Coinciding with the release of the revision Crossway announced that the text of the ESV Bible will remain unchanged in all future editions printed and published by Crossway 41 However in a statement from Lane T Dennis the following month the new policy was abandoned to allow for ongoing periodic updating of the text to reflect the realities of biblical scholarship such as textual discoveries or changes in English over time 16 46 In the statement Dennis responded to public discourse surrounding the policy We have become convinced that this decision was a mistake We apologize for this and for any concern this has caused for readers of the ESV 47 The revision was subsequently republished as ESV Text Edition 2016 Catholic edition Edit In 2018 the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India published the ESV Catholic Edition Bible ESV CE which includes the deuterocanonical books in Catholic canonical order 48 With permission from Crossway a team of Catholic scholars reviewed the text of the ESV in light of the Vatican s translation principles as set forth in Liturgiam authenticam making approved modifications where needed to adhere to Catholic teaching 49 50 h In 2019 the Augustine Institute published the ESV CE in North America as the Augustine Bible 51 52 In October 2021 following these developments the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge published its own version of the ESV CE newly typeset and with anglicized spelling in multiple formats 53 Anglican edition Edit In 2019 Anglican Liturgy Press published the ESV with Apocrypha This edition includes the Apocrypha placed at the back of the Bible 4 54 Having been approved by the ESV translation committee the Apocrypha text found in this edition is a minor revision of the 2009 text published by Oxford University Press A notable revision was made in retranslating the Book of Tobit 55 Use EditStudy Bibles Edit The ESV has been used as the Bible text for a number of study Bible editions including but not limited to ESV study Bibles published by Crossway the ESV Study Bible 27 the ESV Global Study Bible 56 the ESV Student Study Bible 57 and the ESV Literary Study Bible 58 The MacArthur Study Bible 59 published by Thomas Nelson The Lutheran Study Bible 60 published by

Lutheran Church Missouri Synod released the Lutheran Service Book LSB which uses the ESV as its primary Bible text With permission from Crossway the LSB occasionally uses an alternative reading of the ESV in accordance with its original translation principles 67 In April 2020 the Catholic Church in India started using a new English lectionary which uses the ESV CE as its Bible text excluding the book of Psalms which uses the Grail Psalms translation instead 68 In July 2020 the Bishops Conference of Scotland approved the preparation of a new lectionary based on the ESV CE The Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales also approved their own lectionary to be based on the ESV CE 69 See also EditModern English Bible translationsNotes Edit The Apocrypha is not included in editions of the ESV published by Crossway ESV editions licensed by Crossway that feature a translation of the Apocrypha can be found from various publishers For example the English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha 3 published by Oxford University Press in 2009 and the ESV with Apocrypha 4 published by Anglican Liturgy Press in 2019 This lineage follows the classic mainstream started by William Tyndale s New Testament having been continued by the King James Version of 1611 KJV the English Revised Version of 1885 RV the American Standard Version of 1901 ASV and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 RSV 14 The NIV translation committee officially called the Committee on Bible Translation CBT is described by Zondervan as a self governing body of 15 evangelical Bible scholars 19 For example the study notes detailing Genesis 3 16 in the 2016 text edition along with its relevance to 4 7 Romans 16 1 also see note on 1 Tim 3 11 Romans 16 7 and Ephesians 5 21 6 9 and Ephesians 5 21 27 See the section regarding gender neutral language for Crossway s philosophy regarding the translation of gender terms J I Packer is the general editor of the ESV 8 whereas Wayne Grudem is the general editor of the ESV Study Bible 32 A few examples of reverted verses being translated in accordance with the ESV s translation philosophy are as follows Isaiah 7 14 now using Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son Psalm 2 12 now using Kiss the Son and Psalm 45 6 now using Your throne O God is forever and ever The committee also decided to restore the theological term propitiation to the following verses Romans 3 25 Hebrews 2 17 and 1 John 2 2 and 4 10 35 The team of scholars who worked on the ESV CE includes Rev Dr Lucien Legrand M E P Rev Dr Assisi Saldanha C Ss R Rev Dr Govindu
