An interesting first look at the HCSB....

This book is a release of the four Gospels from the Holman Christian Standard Bible translation with snippets of commentary from Henry Blackaby. The translation reads remarkably like the NIV, with occasional departures on sentence structure and the like. The translators seem to be using the Nestle-Aland greek text as the source(same as NIV). What sets this translation apart are the small differences. Capitalization of pronouns regarding Christ; quoted text from the Old Testament is set in bold. Also, there seems to be a greater number of footnotes with more references to the original greek. I was pleased to see several footnotes regarding the literal word structure of passages. Although not part of the translation itself, the book contains several word studies on important usages of greek terms alongside the bits of commentary by Mr. Blackaby. The commentary is more inspirational than informational, but a welcome addition nonetheless.All in all, if you like and use the NIV or NASB, then this book is a good way to take another look at the Gospels.
