I have been really encouraged looking through this study Bible because of the faithful, reverent approach to the Scriptures. Since I am not a Lutheran, I will differ in places, but this is a really nice resource.<\/div>\n<p>The Study Bible is based on the ESV text. It is truly an international project with contributors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, and the US. As occasional illustrations it uses engravings by 19th century Lutheran artist, Julius Schnorr von Carlsfeld (who was influenced by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Albrecht_Durer\">Durer<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hans_Holbein_the_Younger\">Holbein<\/a>). As introductory matter helping people to read and understand the Bible it contains a nice summary essay on Bible reading and interpretation, an essay on Law &amp; Gospel, Luther&#8217;s Small Catechism, and an essay on the unity of Scripture. It also has a copy of the lectionaries, a two-year reading plan, a topical index, and a significant &#8220;Biblical Chronology and World History.&#8221;\u009d<\/p>\n<p>Within the Biblical text it keeps a running chronology and has four types of notes. First it has the regular study bible notes explaining various portions of the text. Second, there are &#8220;Law and Gospel Application Notes&#8221;\u009d which summarize sections calling for application and praise since Bible reading is to be a devotional act. Third, quotes from Church fathers are included in many places. Fourth there are extended articles in various places. Each book also has an introduction.<\/p>\n<p>The notes are written from a clear, conservative, evangelical perspective. Kudos to Concordia for producing this useful study tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lutheran Study Bible: English Standard Version General Editor, Edward Engelbrecht (Concordia Publishing House) This is a significant, well done new study Bible.
