The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors."[8][9][10][11] The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts.[1][5]

Crossway claims that the ESV continues a legacy of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text.[b] Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning."[8] Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."[12]

Since publication, the ESV has been endorsed by numerous evangelical pastors and theologians. These include notable individuals such as John Piper, R. C. Sproul, and Kevin DeYoung.[13] As of July 2015, over 100 million printed copies of the translation had been distributed. Since 2021, this figure has increased to 250 million.[14]

History[]

Pre-publication[]

During the early 1990s, Crossway president Lane T. Dennis engaged in discussions with various Christian scholars and pastors regarding the need for a new literal translation of the Bible.[15] In 1997,[16] Dennis contacted the National Council of Churches (NCC) and proceeded to enter negotiations, alongside Trinity Evangelical Divinity School professor Wayne Grudem, for obtaining rights to use the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version as the starting point for a new translation.[17] In September 1998, an agreement was reached with the NCC for Crossway to use and modify the 1971 RSV text, thereby enabling the creation of a new translation.[17] Crossway moved forward from this position by forming a translation committee and initiating work on the ESV. Crossway officially published the ESV in 2001.[15]

In 1999, World reported of "feminists" noticing links between Crossway and the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW).[17] CBMW had been involved in criticizing plans that were made by Zondervan's Committee on Bible Translation[c] to include gender-neutral language in the New International Version.[19] Grudem, who was president of CBMW at the time, responded by stating, "This [the ESV translation] is not a CBMW project."[17]

Translation Oversight Committee[]

Chaired by Dennis and aided by over fifty biblical experts working as review scholars,[9][11] the original ESV translation committee—consisting of fourteen members—features the following notable individuals:

  • Dr. Wayne A. Grudem (Research Professor, Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary)
  • Dr. R. Kent Hughes (Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church in Wheaton)
  • Dr. J. I. Packer (Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada)
  • Dr. Vern Sheridan Poythress (Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary; Editor, Westminster Theological Journal)
  • Dr. Gordon Wenham (Old Testament Tutor at Trinity College, Bristol; Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, University of Gloucestershire)[10]

Post-publication[]

In 2008, Crossway published the ESV Study Bible, which would go on to sell over 1 million copies.[20] In 2009, the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association named the ESV Study Bible as Christian Book of the Year. This was the first time in the award's 30-year history to be given to a study Bible.[21]

At the 2008 annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, Mark L. Strauss presented a paper titled "Why the English Standard Version should not become the Standard English Version: How to make a good translation much better." In the paper, Strauss criticizes the ESV for using dated language among other perceived issues, such as using gender-neutral language inconsistently in translation.[22] Regarding scholarly debate surrounding translation philosophy, ESV translator William D. Mounce responded to Strauss's criticism:

While the content of the paper was helpful, I am afraid that it only increased the gap between the two "sides" of the [translation philosophy] debate. ... He kept saying that the ESV has "missed" or "not considered" certain translational issues. While I am sure they were not intentional, these are emotionally charged words that do not help in the debate. They are in essence ad hominem arguments focusing on our competence (or perceived lack thereof) and not on the facts. He was not in the translation meetings and does not know if we in fact did miss or did not consider these issues. ... The solution to this debate is to recognize that there are different translation philosophies, different goals and means by which to reach those goals, and the goal of the translator is to be consistent in achieving those goals. In all but one of his examples, our translation was the one required by our translation philosophy.[23]

Strauss invited Mounce to publicly engage in the translation philosophy debate through participation at the following annual meeting. In 2009, Mounce presented his response paper, titled "Can the ESV and TNIV Co-Exist in the Same Universe?". In the paper, Mounce describes various points regarding his view of the need for both formal and functional translations.[24]

In 2019, University of Oklahoma Sociology Associate Professor Samuel L. Perry published a journal article titled "The Bible as a Product of Cultural Power: The Case of Gender Ideology in the English Standard Version." In the paper, Perry attempts to demonstrate "how a more critical approach toward 'the Bible' can provide richer, more sophisticated sociological analyses of power and cultural reproduction within Christian traditions." Perry argues that Crossway's ESV translation committee made "intentional, systematic changes" into the ESV for the purpose of being able to "publish and mass-market a text more amenable to conservative, complementarian interpretations." Perry further argues that the ESV translation committee "have engaged in more covert means of cultural reproduction, not only disseminating their interpretation of the biblical text, but manipulating the text itself."[25] The ESV Study Bible often details in its study notes why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.[26][d]

In 2020, the Ireland-based Association of Catholic Priests criticized the ESV for its position on the use of gender-neutral language, perceiving the use of terms such as "mankind" and "brothers" to be "not just out of sync with modern usage [but are] culturally regarded as diminishing and disrespectful of women."[27]

In June 2021, Samuel L. Perry published a journal article titled "Whitewashing Evangelical Scripture: The Case of Slavery and Antisemitism in the English Standard Version." In the paper, Perry attempts to demonstrate how "the ESV editors, while modifying certain RSV renderings to establish transitivity for their text among complementarian/biblicist Christians, sought to establish intransitivity between the text and more pejorative social interpretations by progressively re-translating lexically ambiguous terms and introducing footnotes to obviate the Bible’s ostensible promotion of slavery and antisemitism."[28] In July 2021, Lexham Press academic editor Mark Ward published an article responding to Perry's critique:

The first step in interpretation should be transitivity. You should try to fit what you read in the Bible in with your existing tradition. That’s simple hermeneutical humility—as long as it’s paired with a sincere desire to hold one’s tradition up to the light of Scripture. The Reformation was about recovering our ability to do just this, to stand within a tradition and yet make our consciences captive to the word of God. Here we stand. ... I can be grateful to Perry for some sharp observations, even some warning shots, while still insisting that any view that muzzles God, that severs the link between his intentions and his words, is rebellion. That’s what I see when I look back at the anthropologists who critique my Bible reading. It isn’t only religious people who can turn the Bible into something it wasn’t intended to be. Anthropologists can make their own power plays with God’s words. To offer "establishing transitivity with existing views" as a wholly sufficient view of evangelical Bible use is to take a small truth and make it the whole truth. It is to say to God, "We can’t hear you because other people are talking."[29]

Textual characteristics[]

Relationship to the Revised Standard Version[]

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV).[15][25][30] ESV translation committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952."[e] Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."[31]

Literary style[]

Theologian Tim Challies has praised the ESV for its commitment to literary excellence:

... the book that has most shaped my writing is the Bible—the ESV. Not only is this the book I’ve read most over the years, but it’s also the book I’ve studied the closest, and memorized most substantially. And then, of all the books I’ve read, it’s one of the finest in its literary quality. ... One thing I’ve always loved about the ESV is its superior use of the English language. Any translation involves a trade-off between precision and readability so that the most-literal translations also tend to be the least-readable. Though the ESV is a precise Bible, its translators chose to place a premium on literary excellence. ... They succeeded well, and the Bible they translated is beautiful to read—far more than any of its contemporaries.[32]

Crossway claims that the ESV "retains theological terminology—words such as grace, faith, justification, sanctification, redemption, regeneration, reconciliation, propitiation—because of their central importance for Christian doctrine and also because the underlying Greek words were already becoming key words and technical terms among Christians in New Testament times." Crossway also claims that the ESV lets the distinct writing styles of the various biblical writers come through the translated text.[12]

Gender-neutral language[]

The ESV translation committee states that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original." The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further states that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[12]

Revisions and other editions[]

2007 text edition[]

Crossway published the first revision of the ESV text in 2007 as "ESV Text Edition: 2007." The revision makes minor changes to the 2001 text.[33]

2011 text edition[]

Crossway published the second revision of the ESV text in 2011 as "ESV Text Edition: 2011." The revision changes fewer than 500 words in total throughout 275 verses from the 2007 text. The changes were made in each case to "correct grammar, improve consistency, or increase precision in meaning."[34] A notable revision was made in Isaiah 53:5, changing "wounded for our transgressions" to "pierced for our transgressions" in the revised text.[35]

2016 text edition[]

Crossway published the third revision of the ESV text in 2016 as the "ESV Permanent Text Edition (2016)." The revision changes 52 words in total throughout 29 verses from the 2011 text.[36] A notable revision was made in Genesis 3:16 to use a complementarian interpretation of the original text: switching "shall be toward" with "shall be contrary to" in the revised text.[37] The previous rendering can be found in the footnotes[38] (excluding any editions that specifically do not have footnotes, such as the ESV Reader's Bible[39]). The ESV Study Bible details in its study notes the revised interpretation in relation to a parallel understanding of 3:16 with both 4:7 (which shares the Hebrew word teshuqah; this verse having also been updated in the 2016 text) and Ephesians 5:21–32.[26]

Coinciding with the release of the revision, Crossway announced that "the text of the ESV Bible will remain unchanged in all future editions printed and published by Crossway."[36] However, in a statement from Lane T. Dennis the following month, the new policy was abandoned "to allow for ongoing periodic updating of the text to reflect the realities of biblical scholarship such as textual discoveries or changes in English over time."[15][40] In the statement, Dennis responded to public discourse surrounding the policy: "We have become convinced that this decision was a mistake. We apologize for this and for any concern this has caused for readers of the ESV."[41][42] The revision was subsequently republished as "ESV Text Edition: 2016."

Oxford Apocrypha edition[]

In 2009, Oxford University Press published the English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha.[2] This edition includes the Apocrypha, placed in the back of the Bible, intended for "denominations that use those books in liturgical readings and for students who need them for historical purposes."[2]

Gideons edition[]

In 2013, Gideons International permanently transitioned from the New King James Version to the ESV as their translation of choice for free of charge distribution Bibles. In addition to being granted licensing for the ESV text (for the purpose of distributing), Crossway gave Gideons International permission to modify the text to use alternative readings based on the Textus Receptus. The Gideons edition uses over 50 alternative readings.[43]

Catholic edition[]

In 2018, the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India published the English Standard Version Catholic Edition (ESV-CE), which includes the deuterocanonical books.[44] With permission from Crossway, the ESV text in this edition was modified by a team of Catholic scholars to adhere to Catholic teaching.[45][46][47] In 2019, the Augustine Institute published the ESV-CE in North America as The Augustine Bible.[48][45] In April 2020, the Catholic Church in India started using a new English lectionary which uses the ESV-CE as its Bible text (excluding the Book of Psalms, which uses the Grail Psalms translation instead).[49] In July 2020, the Bishops' Conference of Scotland approved preparation of a new lectionary that is based on the ESV-CE. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales also approved their own lectionary to be based on the ESV-CE.[50]

Anglican edition[]

In 2019, Anglican Liturgy Press published the ESV: Anglican Edition.[3] This edition includes the Apocrypha, placed in the back of the Bible.[51] The Apocrypha text found in this edition is a minor revision of the 2009 text published by Oxford University Press, in approval with members of the ESV Translation Oversight Committee. A notable revision was made in re-translating the book of Tobit.[52]

Use[]

Study Bibles[]

The ESV has been used as the Bible text for a number of study Bible editions, including:

Other use[]

In 2006,[63] the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod released the Lutheran Service Book (LSB),[64] which uses the ESV as its primary Bible text. With permission from Crossway, the LSB occasionally uses an alternative reading of the ESV in accordance with the ESV's translation principles.[64]

Notes[]

  1. ^ The Apocrypha is not included in editions of the ESV published by Crossway. ESV editions licensed by Crossway that feature a translation of the Apocrypha can be found from various publishers. For example, the English Standard Version Bible with Apocrypha[2] published by Oxford University Press in 2009, and the ESV: Anglican Edition[3] published by Anglican Liturgy Press in 2019.
  2. ^ This lineage follows the "classic mainstream" started by William Tyndale's New Testament, having been continued by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV)."[12]
  3. ^ CBT; described by Zondervan as "a self-governing body of 15 evangelical Bible scholars."[18]
  4. ^ For example, the study notes detailing Genesis 3:16 (in the 2016 text edition; along with its relevance to 4:7), Romans 16:1 (also see note on 1 Tim. 3:11), Romans 16:7; and Ephesians 5:21–6:9 and Ephesians 5:21.[26]
  5. ^ A few examples of reverted verses, being translated in accordance with the ESV's translation philosophy, are as follows: Isaiah 7:14 (now using "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son"), Psalm 2:12 (now using "Kiss the Son"), and Psalm 45:6 (now using "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever"). The committee also decided to restore the theological term "propitiation" to the following verses: Romans 3:25, Hebrews 2:17; and 1 John 2:2 and 4:10.[31]

In exceptional, difficult cases, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac Peshitta, the Latin Vulgate, and other sources were consulted to shed possible light on the text, or, if necessary, to support a divergence from the Masoretic text.
