Explanation During Books HCSB: Holman Christian Standard Bible
The HCSB was developed by 100 scholars and English stylists from 17 denominations, who prayerfully translated what is one of the most significant Bible translations available today. The HCSB reflects linguistic advances in vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and formatting while it retains meaningful theological terms. In the HCSB you'll find God's personal name (Yahweh), the use of "Messiah" in the New Testament, and the use of "slave" in the New Testament, just to name a few examples. Also, you'll notice the contemporary speech patterns in the HCSB mean that words like "behold" and "shall" are not used. Instead, words or phrases that are common today can be found in their place.Point Books Supposing HCSB: Holman Christian Standard Bible

As near as I can figure, if measured upon the preceding continuum, they will be inconsistent, sometimes being very formal and other times giving a dynamic translation. I wonder how helpful that

I'm joining Reading the Bible as Literature challenge hosted by Roof Beam Reader. I obtained this bible for free from Amazon. The language is easy to understand. Just finished reading Genesis. I'm going to get through Exodus for a couple of days.
While I enjoyed this translation of the Bible, it is not THE translation for me. There were some translation choices that stood out to me as too Baptist based, such as the use of beer instead of strong drink in Luke 1:15, and the placement of punctuation in sentences speaking of baptism and the Holy Spirit. At times I was curious as to if I was reading a non-gender inclusive update of the NIV instead of the revised HCSB.While I did find this translation easy to read, study, and enjoy, I find
