In Light of the Gospel

Justin Taylor is managing editor of the ESV Study Bible that is set to be published by October 2008. Crossway has launched a webpage for it: ESV Study Bible Home Page. Once there you can see the different editions, contents and features, as well as contributors. Be sure to check out the sample pages [which includes some charts and diagrams].

You can also see the spread for the cutaway and floor plan of Solomon’s Temple. Each of the 40+ full-color paintings went through a painstaking process of research and refinement, using the best scholarship (biblical, historical, archaeological) available. Leen Ritmeyer (widely considered the world’s leading authority on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount) guided the reconstructions, and they were drawn by Maltings Partnership (a leading illustration firm in the UK–the folks behind the drawings in the DK Travel Guides).
