Explore the Literary Structure of the Bible
In order to understand the content of the Bible, readers first need to
understand how the content is expressed. The literary forms and features
of the Bible are a crucial part of understanding the Bible's
message--both for its original audience and for readers today. Compared
to conventional study Bibles that answer the what of a passage, the ESV
Literary Study Bible guides readers through the Bible text, showing how
to read the passage. Combining over 1,200 insightful notes with the
complete ESV Bible text, this volume highlights literary features such
as genre, images, plot, setting, stylistic and rhetorical techniques,
and artistry so readers can more richly understand the unity, flow, and
profound depth of the biblical text. First published in 2007, the ESV
Literary Study Bible has been refreshed with an all-new typesetting
while retaining all the same content that helps readers discover and
teach the message of the Bible embodied in its literary forms and
features.
