Beloved by millions around the world, this fully Anglicized edition of the English Standard Version is designed for all who are looking for a Bible that combines literary beauty with careful attention to the precise meaning of the biblical text.
The ESV-CE features all the deuterocanonical books in the Catholic Bible, such as a Tobit, Judith and the Wisdom of Solomon, and has been approved by the Catholic Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland as the basis for the new Lectionary and for all future liturgical texts used by Catholics.
Created by a team of over 100 leading biblical scholars, the ESV renders each Hebrew or Greek word with an equivalent English word. This result is a modern translation that stands in the classic tradition that goes right back to the King James Version of 1611.
This also makes the ESV-CE exceptionally useful for detailed Bible study, while the beauty, clarity and dignity of its style make it highly suitable for both private devotion and public worship.
This edition features a beautifully designed black paper cover, inlaid with silver foil, offering a versatility and portability for those who like to carry God’s Word with them wherever they go. It also makes a lovely gift for friends or family, or for presenting as a keepsake, prize or award.

Created by a team of over 100 leading scholars, this Anglicized Catholic edition of the ESV is an essentially literal translation of the Bible that seeks as far as possible to reproduce the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each biblical writer. Following a distinct word-for-word translation method, the ESV Bible captures the precise wording of the original texts by rendering each Hebrew or Greek word with an equivalent English word. This result is a modern translation that stands in the classic tradition that starts with the King James Version of 1611 and stretches through to the Revised Standard Version of 1971.
