The Literary Study Bible

I am very excited about the ESV Literary Study Bible that will be released on Sept. 7th! It will be unique in that it will approach the Bible as a work of literature. This will be the second Bible to be published in the English Standard Version from a Reformed perspective. It is edited by the father and son team of Leland and Philip Graham Ryken. Leland is an English scholar at Wheaton College. He is the writer of the tremendous little book called the Word of God in English. I found that book helpful in understanding the way scholars translate Bibles and also that some translations are much more superior when it comes to accuracy. His son Philip is senior pastor at the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and has written many good books himself!
