 Holman Christian Standard Bible New Testament |
The Holman Christian Standard Bible is an English-language Bible translation, first published with the complete Old and New Testaments in March 2004. The New Testament alone had previously been published in 1999.
The translation committee, funded by the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, sought to strike a balance between the literal, "word-for-word" translation philosophy of the New American Standard Bible and the less literal "thought-for-thought" philosophy employed by most other modern translations, such as the New International Version.
Making use of the most recent scholarly traditions, translators worked from the 27th edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek text and the 4th edition of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for their translations of the New and Old Testaments, respectively.
