Pre REVIEW Announcement: Bible Review (Crossway/ESV)

SPOLIER ALERT: Teaser, Pre-REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION
New Release ESV Gospel Transformation Study Bible:
Crossway Books and Bibles (Copyright Owner of the (ESV) English Standard Version Bible) have graciously agreed to permit me to REVIEW their "Newly Released" "ESV Gospel Transformation Study Bible: Christ in All of Scripture, Grace for All of Life" [Hardcover, casebound, paper dust jacket, xxx + 2057 pp and Maps].
--
The ESV Gospel Transformation Study Bible is designed to help readers see Christ in all of Scripture, and grace for all of life. I believe that advances scholarship of two, possibly three of Martin Luther's #Reformation The Five Solae: (Depending upon the reading and YOUR "Interpretation" of them, according to his own discourse on understanding Scripture).
1.Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”): [The Bible alone is our highest authority.] 2 Timothy 3:16 et al; inter alia,
2. Sola Fide (“faith alone”): [We are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ], Hebrews 11:11, Romans 10:17, I Corinthians 2:5, inter alia; And, ...
3. Sola Gratia (“grace alone”): [We are saved by the grace of God alone], Ephesians 2:8-9, inter alia. (ESV, of course!)
Although, if we are "Lutheran" Christians in our faith expression, I'm sure you'll relate this to applying to all of the Five Solae, or Five Solas. So, I hope our friends in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America especially those who Worship Him at Tabor Lutheran Church Philadelphia in our own community will pay close attention to my upcoming review!  [Jane Marston]
Stay Tuned HERE for that REVIEW and/or RECOMMENDATION. COMING SOON.
(Some Reviews Cross-Posted at: My facebook page )
From the not-for-profit-ministry of Crossway Books and Bibles: "The English Standard Version (ESV) is an "essentially literal" translation of the Bible in contemporary English. The ESV is adapted from the Revised Standard Version (RSV) [1952 and 1971]. Created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors, the ESV Bible emphasizes "word-for-word" accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning.
[1] Suited for personal reading, public worship, in-depth study, and Scripture memorization, the ESV is available in more than 200 print editions on Crossway.org and FREE digitally via mobile apps or online through ESV.org.
Since its publication in 2001, the ESV Bible has gained wide acceptance and is used by church leaders, numerous denominations and organizations, and millions of individuals around the world. [2]
Based upon its Translation of The National Council of Churches of Christ (RSV) Translation(s) of 1952 and 1971, I'd think it would be well received byThe United Methodist Church (Circa 1968) which was using NRSV (New) RSV in my history, 1977, 79, 89-94.

[1] [2] Public Worship/Reading: Along with the "Ancient Faith Study Bible" (CSB) By LifeWay I will often PUBLICLY Read from this ESV Bible atFeltonville War Memorial Rising Sun and Wyoming Avenues in the near future. #StreetEvangelism #Outreach in the Public Square. Many of our younger Christians; "Millennials" in particular use and prefer the ESV Bible. Though not my go-to version of choice, I aver to the hearer/listener(seeker) in the Congregation or audience.
(Romans 10:14, 15 [14-17] ESV via Bible Gateway 📖✝️
