Esv-Ce Catholic Bible
Hardback 2021-10-14
Publisher Description
Beloved by millions around the world, the English Standard Version (ESV) is this century's fastest-growing version of the Bible. Until recently the ESV has largely been used in Protestant circles, but now SPCK is proud to present a range of fully anglicized Catholic editions, which include apocryphal books such as Tobit, Judith and the Wisdom of Solomon. Created by a team of more than 100 leading scholars, the ESV-CE is a contemporary, readable and accurate translation, yet one that stands in the classic tradition that started with the King James Version of 1611 and stretches through to the Revised Standard Version of 1971. One of the ESV's distinctive aims is to capture the precise wording of the original texts by rendering each Hebrew or Greek word with an equivalent English word. The result is an excellent version for detailed Bible study, but one that also possesses a beauty, clarity and dignity of style that makes it superbly suitable for reading alone or for reading aloud during public worship.
