The Big Ideas and Helpful Highlights of the ESV Archaeology Study Bible Review
Outside & Introductory Features
This Bible includes background information about both Archaeology and its application in Biblical study.
There are also helpful charts and tables outlining a breadth of relevant archaeological discoveries, including non-Biblical documents and artifacts that contribute to our understanding of the Bible and its contents.
Many Visual Features
The visual elements are, of course, hard to describe justly with text. Many are shown in the video, and include photographs, charts, diagrams, illustrations, and more.
The ESV Translation
The ESV is one of the more literal translations available in English. While there are certainly positives to this approach, it also can be somewhat more difficult to read and comprehend.
Who Should Study with This Bible – and Who Should Not
This Bible might be a good fit for someone who has at least a basic understanding of the Bible and its background, but wants to better understand archaeology and its impacts on on Biblical research.
