That's why the HCSB Study Bible-featuring approximately 15,000 study notes-is designed so that every clarifying resource is there on the same page spread as the biblical text to which it refers. You'll never again forget what you were looking for, because the pertinent note, map, chart, word study, or illustration is already there. And when an even deeper view is desired, there are also introductions for each book, outlines and timelines, a concordance, and more.For the growing believer whose desire is to know Scripture more intimately and live out its loving instruction, the HCSB Study Bible always keeps you and God on the same page.FEATURES315 word studiesFour-color presentation pages141 photographsTwo-column text setting62 timelinesTwo-piece gift box (non-hardcover)59 mapsOne-year Bible reading plan24 articlesCenter column references16 illustrations/reconstructions Topical subheads15 chartsBlack letter text
