The ESV is changing… again
https://www.esv.org/about/2025-updates/
@Mattillo I have no doubt we will be updating the text. No immediate release date yet, though, as these were only recently announced by the publisher.
@Rick Mansfield (Logos) Do you know whether the plan would be to update the existing ESV resource, or to publish an entirely new resource for the 2025 update? Not sure how you guys usually do this.
I believe in the past they just updated the current edition and didn't make a new one. There is an ESV Translation Notes document out there that lists all of the changes as a note in your ESV. Not sure where it is floating now but I made a copy of it and added the new notes into it.
@Jared Matthews it's too soon to know exactly how it will be handled, but @Mattillo is probably correct.
Honestly, I'd like a new edition to be released. The text I primarily use is 2011, not because I hold some sentimentality or theological position for that version; it's just the main physical Bible I use. So, if my church ever gets a projection screen, I will be making manual edits on passage slides, or I'll start reading the text off my iPad instead of my physical Bible.
They won't update the High Definition versions? These appear to be still 2011? That's what I must use on my mobile until that gets better functionality otherwise to reflect the desktop.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason a new edition wasn't released and it was simply an updated resources was because that was the publisher's agreement with Crossway.
The real question is will that document actually be updated? I don't even remember who the original owner was/is. I'd be more than happy to help update or release a new one. Most of the changes appear to be footnote changes though.
Just curious, has anything else been announced on this by Logos? I actually have a paper copy now of the 2025 edition, but the ESV in my software in 2016.
Not to my knowledge but since it is the same resource it usually just rolls out without much fanfare. At least if my memory serves me correctly.
Reviewing the changes, most of them are minor, many of them to footnotes and punctuation. I would actually prefer they update the same resource given these minor changes.
When can we expect to receive the update? Hopefully relatively soon with so few changes.
Hopefully Crossway has updated the Classic Reference print edition. My 2011 is falling apart (since I was cheap and didn't buy real leather). I'm hoping to get a new Classic Reference bible in the 2025 text.
@Kiyah - take a look at the Quentel version from Evangelical Bible. Ultra-high quality and it has the ESV cross reference system in it. They full size is the 2025 text. I am not sure when the 2025 text will be in the Personal Size edition
Jason Staples follow up book on the identity of Israel in 2nd Temple Judaism; focusing on Paul. Both NEED to be available in Logos.
The Glossa Ordinaria was, by far, the most popular and influential Bible commentary of the Middle Ages. It would be wonderful to have it available on Logos. I am currently working to translate it all into English, having just published the volume on Genesis, available through Emmaus Press:…
This volume is the published doctoral dissertation of the author. His work was supervised by Douglas Moo; and he presents an argument which extends the work of the venerable James D G Dunn. He presents a convincing observation that Paul in his use of zeal language provides us with a threefold proposition. Neither zeal nor…
Tom Bradford's Torah Class is considered the gold standard in Hebrew Roots teaching, and Bradford has hundreds of hours of complete, clean transcripts he's written of every book he's covered on his website. He's covered In-depth studies of the Tanakh: Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy); Nevi’im…
Am hopeful that this will be truly comprehensive. If so, I believe it is likely to become the definitive commentary on the WCF. Can't find anything online at the publishers site. As of Sept. 2025, all I can find about it is a December 17, 2024 tweet by Blair Smith. Not due to be released until October 2026. Edited by…
