Rendered in the clear, crisp ESV translation (English Standard Version), the Bible is presented here with the words of Jesus in red. Because it is so much more than a religious text, here too are 900 short articles tracing how Scripture has shaped science, art, politics, and language, along with a 365 day reading plan based on its major impact themes. The edition is also beautifully illustrated with color maps, photos, and paintings by artists like Rembrandt, Breughel, and Raphael.
