| | | New ESV Study Bible Sample - Intro Revelation
I just noticed the ESV Study Bible's site has released another sample. This one is the introduction and the first few pages of Revelation. http://www.esvstudybible.org/images/...tion-intro.pdf
I know some of you are going to order this, so I thought you might like to see the preview. Based on this sample, I feel they are packing a lot of information into this study bible.

Wow. If each book has 10 pages of "Introductory material" that's 660 pages with out the text of Scripture. With the many notes on the text, and the potential for maps and time lines and such for all the books of Scripture, this seems like a massive study bible.
I'll be interested to see what it looks like when they release it, but right now I'm imagining a study bible that will require a "pallet jack" to haul it around.

Have any of you checked out the ESV Literary Study Bible? It looks very nice. I think this bible is Crossway's response to the Zondervan Archaeological Study Bible. Both are nice and I own a few of the ZARSBs (I used to work for Zondervan), but I prefer the ESV over the NIV.
Check this bible out: ESV Literary Study Bible: Official Website

SORRY, off topic: anyone know an archeological bible NOT in the NIV? That Zondervan one looks good, but I prefer ESV or KJV over NIV to such an extent that I would not pay that sort of money for it.

I use my ZASB more for the archaeological and cultural footnotes and study sections then the NIV. It is has great value as a reference then reading it for text.
