Repetition is impressive. Thank you for this.
Hi decann.
This is just a snippet of the great resources available in the ESV Study Bible.
Over the past three years, I have read through several study Bibles, including the NIV Archaeological Study Bible and the ESV Reformation Study Bible. Both of those are very good, thoguh I did not read every single word of the study notes in the RSB.
The articles in both of those study Bibles are very helpful, as are the charts, maps, pictures and diagrams.
But the ESV Study Bible is very comprehensive and is going to take me abotu 3 years to get through, based on my current progress. but, I think that God has led me to read his Word through seven times rapidly, which has been very beneficial, but now my task is to read it through in an indepth and slow way.
