Verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes have been removed to produce a volume that presents Scripture as one extended storyline
The ESV Reader’s Bible was created for those who want to read the books of Scripture precisely 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 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.
On the top of each page a verse range is included for navigation. Other features include a single-column text setting, readable type, and a book-like format. The Reader’s Bible is a simple but elegant edition, and is perfect for devotional reading or extended Bible reading that focuses on the overarching narrative of the Bible.
Features:
- No verse numbers or footnotes
- Illustrated maps
- Two ribbon markers
- Smyth-sewn binding
- Packaging: clamshell box (TruTone), permanent slipcase (cloth over board)
