The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English Bible translations translation of the [[Bible]]. The first edition was published in 2001 by Crossway Books, who also owns the copyright to the text. In their own words, the translators of the ESV sought to follow an "essentially literal" translation philosophy.
In their own words, the translators of the ESV sought to follow an ''"essentially literal"'' translation philosophy. To that end, they sought as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer, while taking into account differences of grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages. The result is a translation that is more literal than the popular [[New International Version]], but more idiomatic than the [[New American Standard Version]] (which is commonly known as the most literal of the modern translations).
=== Textual Basis ===
First and foremost, the ESV is an update of the [[Revised Standard Version]] (RSV) of 1971 that aims to replace the non–Christian interpretations in the RSV, improve the accuracy throughout with more literal renderings, and somewhat update the language.
In February 2005, the first study Bible using the ESV text was released. The ''Reformation Study Bible'' (ISBN 0875526438) was published by Ligonier Ministries with Dr. R. C. Sproul, a prominent Reformed theologian, author, and pastor, as its General Editor.
