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.
