Mine has STILL not arrived!!! I'm turning GREEN!!!
From the list of contributors, however, is it a perfect study Bible? No. I LOVE my Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible (except for the lame translation). But, with soooooooooooo many notes and articles from so many solid folks, and 700 pages longer than almost any other study Bible, the ESV Study Bible will still beat out all of the competition for a long time indeed.

Got mine yesterday - TruTone black - my wife ordered it for me for Father's Day. It is huge - literally. If you threw this book, it would hurt someone. Jessica, get him the TruTone Black one - it is sharp and feels like leather.
By the by, if you want a puritan bible with the same size, oomph and popularity as the ESVSB but with puritan writers and commentary etcetera...make one. In the mean time, the ESVSB is pretty good.

Sooo...I weighed my bibles. My NKJV reference bible weighs in at 21.7 ounces. The ESVSB weighs in at 64 ounces! (It maxed out my postal scale).
And here you go. ITS HUGE!

Indeed but I am in mid-semester right now with many things going on. I usually task that to my wife because she uses the computer more than I do. Anyway, the ESVSB is HUGE!!

So what you are saying is that I should be on the lookout for a flatbed truck outside my apartment?

Mine just got here. I went through WTSBooks.com and chose the cheapest shipping option, so I'm a little behind. This thing is a TOME. Love it. Definitely not for toting around as an evangelism or daily reading Bible, but a great study tool.
The online version has potential, but lots of that potential is untapped. I'll be blogging about it soon, actually.

I think I missed something
Why all the noise over the ESVSB?
Wouldn't the Dutch Annotations on the Whole Bible be a better Reformed Study Bible? Or even the Geneva Bible with its notes?

I have a 1560 and a 1599 Geneva Bible and love their notes. What I really like about the ESVSB is the amount of Introduction material, and I love the pictures
Ah! Now I understand.
I hope it's better than the Apologetics Study Bible. Higher criticism and other nonsense infects the ASB.
What kind of introductory material?

That is one messy desk!
It's the all-seeing eye (Mason symbol) like on the dollar bill. I prefer the cross on my Geneva.

That only happens when you start seeing Karl Barth everywhere. Especially when you see Barth with an iPod.
