How is it helpful that the HCSB is the translation used in The Apologetics Study Bible?
The Holman Christian Standard Bible is an all-new English translation of the original biblical languages (Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic), first published in full in 2003. Scholars behind the translation hold a high view of biblical inerrancy and take each word of Scripture very seriously. After rendering the most literal translation possible, they styled it to reflect modern English usage so as to amplify a reader’s understanding. The reasons for faith come clearer than ever because the HCSB opens a window into the ancient texts unlike any other contemporary translation.
