Romans 6 Songs

Kami Mueller from Grace Bible Church in Tempe, Ariz., has set Romans 6 in the ESV to music, writing five songs “in response to encouragements that our entire church body memorize Romans.” Her rendition of Romans 6:5-11, for example, brings out some of the passage’s parallels and clarifies Paul’s occasionally dense prose.

Literary Study Bible Review

Forrest at Van Til Tool reviews the ESV Literary Study Bible:

By highlighting the importance of the artistic aspect of Scripture the Literary Study Bible should be helpful in bringing to attention the artistic aspect of God Himself. By inspiring the writing of Scripture as a work of literary artistry God shows His concern for the literary arts just as the artistic aspect of His creatures shows His concern for the visual arts. These together with God’s dramatic artistry as the Playwright of history leads us to realize that God is a very creative, beautiful, imaginative, and interesting Person — a great truth which has heretofore usually been egregiously omitted in the Doctrine of God in our systematic theologies.

ESV Pocket New Testament Review

Matt at The Foolish Galatian reviews the ESV Pocket New Testament:

Overall, this is quite a nice little book. The tru-tone sewn binding makes for a quality look and feel at a MUCH cheaper price than the goat and calf skin varieties. Its readability is far better than I had anticipated when I first purchased it, and the ESV translation is second to none. On a scale of one to ten, I give it a high 9.

We don’t often see reviews of ESV Pocket New Testaments. Thanks, Matt, for the review.
