Description

The Holman Christian Standard Bible is a literal, word-for-word translation from the original languages that has been painstakingly stylized in modern-day English. The result is a text that shows respect for the inerrancy of Scripture—that is clear and understandable without being over-simplified, paraphrased, or held captive to cultural trends.

Twenty years in the making, the Holman Christian Standard Bible is the work of 100 scholars collaborating online, in real time, with the benefit of the latest breakthroughs in Bible scholarship.
