ESV Deuterocanonicals
While I generally find the English Standard Version to be a very usable version of Scripture and am very pleased that our communion of churches has adopted the ESV for liturgical use, I am greatly disappointed with one particular item: the lack of inclusion of the Deuterocanonical/Apocryphal writings, which I understand were included in Bibles up to and including the 1611 King James Version and even beyond.
Is the ESV editorial board planning to include the Deuterocanonical/Apocryphal writings? If so, is such a project underway? If so, when is the anticipated date of completion? The most immediate address of this oversight would be greatly appreciated!
