ESV Study Bible free online for March

Crossway announced yesterday that they were making the Online ESV Study Bible available free to anywhere, anywhere, for the entire month of March.

A couple of features worth noting:

• You can listen to the audio of the ESV from narrator David Cochran Heath.
• You can take and save your own notes in the Online ESVSB.
• You can highlight words and verses in several different colors.

I’ve included below links to everything in the Study Bible, along with contributors:
