The HCSB Study Bible is the most beautiful study Bible I've ever seen. The shades of brownish-golds used in side-boxes and the copper and cyan inks used in headings and verse numbers make the whole text come alive. The illustrations are dramatic, clear, colorful, and educational. But the contents page demonstrates the scholarship that has gone into this reference Bible.  I recognized many of the contributors, and know of their commitment to a clear, scholarly treatment of the text. The judicious use of Hebrew and Greek-term explanations calls the reader to further study. The maps place the events of the text into proper perspective. This is definitely a study Bible I will buy.
