5 Things you should know about the ESV Online

screen-shot-2010-05-21-at-90931-am

We’re humbled and excited by the fantastic response we’re receiving from our ESV Online users. Thanks to the many of you who have written in with your encouragement and feedback.

Today we wanted to highlight a few things about this new online study tool, so here’s our “Top Five” list.

  1. It’s a process. We’ve been working on the site for nearly a year—researching and listening to our customer comments, and we haven’t stopped. We love working closely with you so please continue to give us feedback.
  2. There are many features and more to come. We’ve included reading plans/devotionals, the ability to take personal notes, advanced Bible searching, Bible audio, as well as the ESV Study Bible content and we’re growing the list.
  3. There’s a lot of free. Most of the features are available to anyone and everyone for free. They can register for a new account at: http://esvonline.org/account/register. Please spread the word!
  4. Study notes and resources are available. We created an interface where the ESV Study Bible notes and resources can be viewed alongside the Bible text, continually tracking as you scroll. We’ve found that this layout seems most conducive for in-depth study of God’s Word. The idea was to keep our users from navigating away from the Bible to access these notes and resources.
  5. Future content. A very big reason why we created this new online Bible tool was to also create a platform where we could provide a wealth of extra-biblical content to help deepen your study of God’s Word. We hope to bring you many more content modules to help accomplish that goal, so please stay tuned!

Wheaton, IL (May 13, 2010)—Crossway is pleased to announce the new ESV Online. A key part of Crossway’s ESV Digital initiative, the ESV Online is a powerful and convenient tool giving access to the ESV Bible and other resources for understanding and applying God’s Word.

Free access to the ESV Online is now available by signing up at www.esvonline.org. Users are able to customize their own interface, highlight and mark verse numbers, add bookmark ribbons, search the ESV text, and manage personal notes. The free version also includes a variety of daily reading plans and devotional calendars.

Want to try the highly acclaimed ESV Study Bible free? For a limited time, everyone who signs up for an ESV Online account will receive a free 30 day trial access to the ESV Study Bible. Current Online ESV Study Bible users will be contacted via email over the coming weeks and will have their accounts migrated to the ESV Online site with access to all the study notes and resources. The Study Bible module is also available to purchase within the ESV Online platform or for free with the purchase of any print edition of the ESV Study Bible.

In addition to the above, Crossway is developing many more ESV Online modules to enhance the study of God’s Word. Stay tuned for the release of Greek tools, MacArthur study notes, commentaries, Bible Audio recordings in numerous languages, and much more!

Coming this summer, ESV Online users will be able to sync their account with mobile ESV Bible apps so personal highlights and notes can be accessed and updated anywhere.

Crossway also invites ESV Online users to offer their thoughts and suggestions for future improvements and new ESV Bible resources. We look forward to serving you with ESV digital initiatives and the development of innovative tools—to make the ESV Bible accessible to everyone, everywhere, every way.
