Only one study Bible provides more than you'd expectâ€"right where you'd expect it. Imagine having instant visual and textual helps at your fingertips when reading any given passage of Scripture, and you've just begun to experience the HCSB Study Bible.
We're On the Same Page
In focus groups around the United States led by a world-class market research firm, three different survey methods yielded the same result: "Study Bible users" and "non-Study Bible users" alike agree that the combination of all features working together in a study Bible is more important than any single feature. There's no better way to raise one's level of interest and biblical comprehension than to get that "just right" mix of information and presentation. That's why the HCSB Study Bible is designed so that every clarifying resourceâ€"a word study, cross reference, color photograph, alternate translation note, timeline, map, or relevant contemporary essayâ€"is right there on the same page spread with the text to which it refers.
A Number of Reasons to Read
At its core, the HSCB Study Bible is about one thing: deepening your knowledge and understanding of God's Word. But there are a number of ways this unique Bible supports that paramount goal, including 15,000 study notes, 290 Hebrew and Greek word studies, 66 highly detailed book introductions, 62 maps, 27 topical articles, 20 charts, and 18 illustrations, all focusing on the most important topics and questions in Bible study.
About the HCSB Translation
The Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) is the work of one hundred men and women representing 17 different denominations and reflecting the very best in updated Bible translation scholarship. You will notice the attention to both accuracy and readabilityâ€"how greater word precision makes for a tighter translation that clarifies the meaning from verse to verse. Above all, each contributor involved honors the Bible as God's inspired and inerrant Word. And that's why the text of Scripture itself is the uppermost feature throughout the pages of the HCSB Study Bible.

- More manageable size than some study biblesâ€"at 2,300 pages, the HCSB Study Bible has all of the features that users expect, but not more than users want.
- Two-column format, top to bottom, the highly preferred layout in research.
- 50% of the page devoted to text is the goal for as many pages as possible, so notes and ancillary content don't get in the way of the scripture.
- Pew-friendly notesâ€"focus on the most important concepts and are often in paragraph form, always in an accessible style and tone.
- Fewer photos, more thoughtfully placedâ€"the highest-quality and appropriate images for the text on the page, from the leader in 4-color Bible reference.
- Referencesâ€"enhanced prominence with color and located in between the columns of text.
- 4-color verse and reference designations help readers to visually move from notes and references back to the text.
- Readabilityâ€"not only is the Bible text itself in a readable 9-point format, but the study notes are in a 7.5 point, uncompressed type so they will be easier to read.
- Horizontal instead of vertical timelinesâ€"the clear preference, and to give additional context, the timelines integrate Biblical and nonbiblical events.
