Combine an accurate English translation that has a very nice balance of literal renderings and the essence of the message when necessary with informative and up-to-date study notes that shed light on the related verses, word studies, essays by noted scholars, alternate or literal translations, and a layout that is very pleasing to the eye and you have a recipe for a study Bible of the highest quality. The HCSB Study Bible may very well excel all others in these areas.
