The New English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. 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 50 Bible scholars, as well as the input of a 60-member, multi-denominational Advisory Council, the translation committee chaired by J.I. Packer 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.

"This CD of James Earl Jones' deep, sweet voice reading the New Testament includes a background soundtrack of hymn melodies. I purchased it inexpensively (about $20, new, including s & h)and can make any day better by listening while I get ready in the morning or drive to work." — Amy (5 out of 5 stars)

" It had been 13 years since I read the New Testament, so it was time. The gospels are great, but I would probably give the epistles 4.5 stars. Paul telling Timothy to stop drinking water and to drink wine instead (1 Tim. 5:23) - come on. "
