Just What is the HCSB Version of the Bible?

Here is a quick look at the trustworthiness of the HCSB version of the bible.
I has been a great text for our fellowship to get "the Big Picture" or a Survey of the bible.  

Is translates the ancient text into present day language

 while being faithful to the text of the original language.  

Although many are accustomed to the the NIV, and more recently growing into the ESV 

(with the KJV/NKJV and the NAS continuing to be the hallmark of great Study Bibles) 

- the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) is a good fit for our chronological read thru - 

and it forces us to read a version that we are not use to

therefore stimulating a fresh perspective on the ancient text.
