Equipping Underserved Churches Around the World

The ESV Global Study Bible continues to be one of the most valuable resources we can offer to global believers and church leaders. A one-volume resource filled with adapted study notes from the ESV Study Bible, each book of the Bible begins with an introduction and insightful description of the overarching message of the book. It includes a set of articles written by Christian leaders around the world who apply the Bible to global issues. The appropriate audience for these Bibles would be believers who have little to no access to a Bible or are in need of a biblical study resource.
