ESV Reader's Bible

Cloth over Board, Timeless Design

Free of Verse Numbers and Footnotes, This ESV Bible Provides a Sleek Reading Experience That Places the Emphasis on the Words of Scripture

The ESV Reader’s Bible was created for those who want to read the books of Scripture as they were originally written. Verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes are helpful navigational and interpretive tools, but they are also relatively recent conventions. In the ESV Reader’s Bible they have been removed from the Bible text, and the result is a new kind of Bible-reading experience in a volume that presents Scripture as one extended storyline.

Pages include the book of the Bible and chapter numbers in the margins for orientation, as well as a single-column text setting and readable type, all in a book-like format. The ESV Reader’s Bible is a simple but elegant edition, perfect for devotional or extended Bible reading that focuses on the overarching narrative of God’s Word.
