Klappentext

Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an essentially literal translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages. Relying on the work of more than fifty Bible scholars, the translation committee realized its goals of word-for-word precision and accuracy, literary excellence and readability, and depth of meaning.Written in language beautiful enough to be used for public reading, clear enough for preaching and devotions, and trustworthy enough for academic study, the ESV sets a new standard--and is truly a Bible for all people.
