About this title

About the Author

Created by a team of over 100 leading scholars, this Anglicized Catholic edition of the ESV is an essentially literal translation of the Bible that seeks as far as possible to reproduce the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each biblical writer. Following a distinct word-for-word translation method, the ESV Bible captures the precise wording of the original texts by rendering each Hebrew or Greek word with an equivalent English word. This result is a modern translation that stands in the classic tradition that starts with the King James Version of 1611 and stretches through to the Revised Standard Version of 1971.

From the Back Cover

This First Communion edition of the ESV-CE includes a dedication page and ribbon marker.

'A welcome encouragement for Catholics to use the word of God as a "door opened to every believer" (Pope Francis) for prayer and study.'
Gemma Simmonds CJ, past president of the Catholic Theological Association of Great Britain
