The ESV Study Bible website now has more samples:
- The introduction to the book of Isaiah, along with the notes for the first two chapters. Ray Ortlund is the author of these notes, and Colin Adams has a helpful interview with him here.
- The Introduction and notes for chapter 1 of Colossians. You can also read interview with the contributor, Clinton Arnold.
- Andy Naselli recently interviewed S.M. Baugh about his introduction and notes on Ephesians for the ESV Study Bible. Crossway has made his introduction and notes to Ephesians 1 available here. The interview is published on Justin Taylor’s blog.
yeah, I mostly agree . . . although, we have something more incredible that the first prophets OT style – “you will do greater things than these”, was Jesus referring to His own ministry – what did he mean. We also have something else that the early prophets did not have – The Holy Spirit “came upon them” for specific tasks, we have “Christ IN US, the Hope of Glory”, unity is not worked out through understanding the propositional truth through knowledge – it is worked out through relationships . . . Roberts nods to this, in the closer we get to Jesus – but that misses the point . . . if we remember that Christ IS IN US, how can we not be transformed – and be agents of change for the world? There is one Spirit (the Spirit of Jesus) at work in each and every believer . . .
Thanks Ali for the comment, very helpful.
I think Vaughan would probably go that way if given longer (he had somewhere in the region of 20 minutes) and wasn’t trying to be so expositional.
