Retail spending may have declined in October but Bible sales for one Bible publisher are soaring through the roof.

Crossway Books & Bibles has reported that the demand for its new English Standard Version Study Bible is so high that the first 100,000 copies were sold out even before the release date in mid-October.

Over 111,000 people have purchased the ESV Study Bible, which its makers say is equivalent to a 20-volume Bible resource. The Bible has gone back for a second printing of 50,000 copies with third printing of 50,000 soon to follow...

...J.I. Packer, considered by TIME magazine as among the top 25 influential evangelicals in America, served as the work's theological editor.

Packer, an executive editor at Christianity Today and a former professor of theology, said he was enthusiastic about the <>ESV Study Bible because it takes a larger view of its task than other study Bibles.
