Around 600 laypeople, church workers, and scholars contributed to the development of The Lutheran Study Bible, including people from Lutheran churches in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States. The editors wish to thank God for the service of each person. Because of the number of contributors, the material needed to be edited for consistency of content and presentation. The general editor finalized the text in consultation with colleagues and reviewers.

Grow in His Word Research Project The development team believed that it was most important to seek input from people who would actually use the Study Bible day-by-day. To begin development, we invited more than 400 laypeople and church workers to read portions of the ESV translation and submit their questions about the readings. We carefully studied the nearly 1,500 questions people submitted. Then we prepared our notes to answer the kinds of questions people asked. The result is a very thorough set of notes that presents both insight and application. Rev. Dr. David L. David L.
