This is your invitation to find hope.
The dreams that energize us always seem destined to pass away--a promotion
comes but the new job grows old, a wedding day passes and a thrilling romance
turns routine, a dream house becomes just another place to live. Each one
leaves us looking for the next hope that will lift our spirits. There is one
hope, though, that never wears out, never disappoints, and never leaves our
emotions drained.
You are invited to discover this hope--an every day relationship with
Jesus Christ. He will give you a hope that doesn't fade and He will make each
day feel like the gift from God that it truly is. This New Testament will
help you discover that relationship. Explore it, and as you turn each page,
you will find that this is your invitation to find real hope and live the
life you've always wanted.

Something to start the Journey with - A New Testament for New Believers
More than they need books, tapes, and worship music, new believers need
the Word. They need to see where all these Christian ideas come from, how
they spill out in the flow of the bigger message, and what can be learned and
experienced
each day by spending time interacting with God through the Scriptures.
- New believers will find a
devotional guide to the first 90 days of their Christian life and a
chance to get familiar with the rewards and responsibilities of a living
faith
- They’ll get a tour through
the top 10 truths of the Bible – major Christian doctrines held by all
evangelical traditions
- Nearly 200 in-text study
notes – just enough, not too many, along with quotes from famous
Christian authors.
The result is a New Testament that truly benefits new Christians, whether
they’re working through the built-in study systems or just reading through
for their own discovery. Between readable Scriptures and conversational
commentary, they’ll find lots of room to see their new Christian life in a
whole new light.

A great new affordable LBLA Spanish
Bible.
Most Spanish-speaking Christians rely on one version of the Bible, the
Reina Valera, which was first published in 1569, 42 years before the King
James Version. In the absence of an exact, modern translation, many people
are turning to paraphrases of God's Word. Recognizing the critical need for a
highly accurate, contemporary translation of the Bible, The Lockman Foundation has produced La Biblia
de las Américas (The
Bible of the Americas).
This is a new translation of the Scriptures from the original languages.
Completed in 1986 by a team of Latin American evangelical Bible scholars, La Biblia de las Américas is an original work translated from the
Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek directly into modern Spanish. La Biblia
de las Américas presents
the Word of God in a clear and flowing style while strictly adhering to the
Hebrew and Greek texts. Following the same principles of translation set for
the NASB, La Biblia de las
Américas is understandable to the general public
and also suitable for serious study.
DEPENDABLE: La Biblia de las
Américas was translated literally and
objectively. You can trust that the words of the original languages are
represented with accuracy and clarity. La Biblia
de las Américas is the
first Bible in Spanish that was produced by an international and
interdenominational team of evangelical scholars from all regions of Latin
America, and also from Spain,
and the United States.
It was finished in 1986 after fifteen years of arduous work. The Lockman Foundation, which produced La Biblia
de las Américas
is known in the Bible publishing field as a leader in the production and
publication of Bibles faithful to the original languages.
EASY TO READ:
The rules of modern Spanish grammar have been observed in an easy and
readable style, producing a text of high literary quality, which is easily
understood.

WHAT IS THE HOLMAN CHRISTIAN STANDARD BIBLE?
The Holman Christian Standard Bible is the first
major English translation of the Bible in this generation. The translation is
based on the belief in Scripture as the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of
God. And this belief will never change—never!
In
addition, the new translation carries the name of the oldest and most trusted
Bible publisher in America—Holman.
A team of 100 scholars from around the world, representing more than twenty
Protestant denominations, have translated the original biblical languages of
Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic into one of the most accurate and readable modern
English translations available today.
In an age when social accommodation is rampant, the
Holman CSB is firmly committed to scriptural integrity. It was created, in
part, to safeguard Scripture from current trends toward cultural pluralism,
political correctness, and drifting ideology. The Holman CSB also meets four
essential criteria that will enable HBOI to succeed in ministry: accuracy,
readability, affordability, and accessibility.
Holman Bible Outreach International is partnering
with Broadman & Holman Publishers and is being
managed by their executive team. The infrastructure and overhead already are in
place, freeing HBOI dollars to be used directly for ministry purposes.
A Comparison of the Holman CSB with
the NIV
1. The
HCSB is a new translation finished in 2004. The NIV was
finished in 1972 (NT) , 1977 (OT).
This means that the NIV was completed before the
days of the personal computer. It was completed before the use of the internet
to transmit documents between scholars and editors.
This means that the NIV represents the state of
scholarship at the time of 1972-77. For example, the standard Hebrew lexicon in
use was the Brown, Driver, and Briggs lexicon published in 1906. HCSB was able
to use the new 5 volume Koehler, Baumgartner, and Stamm
lexicon (1967-1996).
The theological word books - Jenni-Westermann;
Botterweck, Fabry, etc (15 vols); the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew; NIDOTT; had not
been published when the NIV was published.
Many major commentaries have been published in the
interval between 1977 and 2004. For example many of the Anchor Bible
commentaries have been issued. Milgrom’s work on
Leviticus - 3 vols, 2576 pp. represents a lifetime of
Jewish scholarship on this book.
2. The NIV
translation committee revised or changed 7% of the NIV text when they made the
TNIV revision. While many of the changes that were made were
“gender” changes (1.68% according to the TNIV committee), this means that the
scholars felt that 5.32% of the NIV needed an improvement. This 5.32% included
changes which were “textual, programmatic, clarity issues, sentence structure
& grammar, and footnotes & headings”. This is according to the TNIV
website. So 5%+ of the NIV needed an “improvement” since
1977. Some of these changes can be seen in the HCSB.
3. The
Gender Issue has become a major issue since 1977 among Bible translators. The
NIV was done before there was a lot of “gender sensitivity”. One estimate says
that there are 800 places in the NT of the NIV where male language is used
where the Greek text would allow a more generic or neutral translation. A
classic example is Romans 12:6-8. The NIV has inserted nine (9) male pronouns
or the word “man” where the Greek text does not require it. The HCSB is gender
accurate and has no male language inserted in this passage. The TNIV has gone
overboard and is more “gender neutral”. It may be said that:
NIV is gender
“biased”
HCSB is “gender accurate”
TNIV attempts to be more “gender neutral”
4.
Translation philosophy. NIV was done under the influence of the
translation philosophy of Eugene Nida. This approach
has been called “dynamic or functional equivalence” in contrast to a strict
“literal or formal equivalence” seen in the English Revised Version of the KJV
(1881) or the ASV of 1901. The HCSB aims for “optimal equivalence” in
translation. This approach is discussed in the introduction to the HCSB and
aims to use the best features of both of the other translation philosophies. A
large number of footnotes give alternative translations or the literal where
the literal needs explanation.
5. The
HCSB has more notes than the NIV. Consider these books of the
Bible. Song of Solomon, I John, and the book of Revelation are among the most
difficult to understand for various reasons. NIV has 20, 11, and 26 for a total
number of 57 footnotes for these books. HCSB has 83, 35, and 251 for a total of
369 footnotes for these books. In addition to being a later, more modern
translation, the HCSB has more helps for the reader.
6. The
Bullet Notes. HCSB has a feature that NIV does not have. In
addition to the many footnotes, HCSB explains frequently used biblical word or
terms. This is explained in the back of the text following the Book of Revelation
and this is indicated in the text by a black dot (.).
7. The
HCSB is more accurate:
NIV has removed “leper” from the text (correctly)
but retained “leprosy” (26x) but then has to add a footnote that “leprosy”
covers a number of skin diseases and may not be the traditional “leprosy” that
is, Hansen’s disease. See their footnote at Leviticus 14:3. “Leper” and
“leprosy” do not occur in the HCSB because of their confusion with Hansen’s
disease.
NIV translates the Greek word doulos,
which occurs 126x in the NT, mainly as “servant”. HCSB
correctly translates this word as “slave”. A slave is owned by his master and
can not quit. The slave is bought at a price- 1Cor 6:19-20. A significant
Pauline metaphor is lost in the NIV.
NIV follows traditional translations of the divine
name YHWH as “LORD”. But “Lord” is used for adonai
which causes confusion with “LORD” . The main
objection is that “LORD” is a title and not a name. HCSB uses the name “Yahweh”
for YHWH in places where the name or identity of the God of Israel is being
discussed. In Exodus 6:2 God says to Moses “I am Yahweh. I appeared to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I did not make My name Yahweh known to
them”.
“Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Yahweh is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the whole earth” Isa. 40:28
NIV continues to use older language without
explanations. It continues to use “tithe” (15x). The
HCSB uses the modern word a “tenth” or ten percent.
NIV has the “O” + the vocative form. This is
removed in the HCSB (and the TNIV).
HCSB translates the Greek word christos
as “Messiah” rather than “Christ” in contexts where the Jewish Messiah is the
issue (cf. Mt . 16:16). The TNIV has followed HCSB in
this practice. NIV has the older practice.
NIV has more “whoms” and
more “shalls” than in keeping with modern American
usage. HCSB is more contemporary.
HSCB’s database is
programmed to eliminate in the printing what is known as “widows” and
“orphans”. Cp. Prov. 30:31-33 in a two column NIV. HCSB’s programming aids in reading the text and it looks
better.
HCSB has special formatting features that enhance
easy reading. Cp. Dan 9:24-27; John 1:1-18; and I Thess
5:16-22 in NIV and HCSB.

A Message from HBOI’s
Executive Director
We receive many requests throughout the year for
free and discounted Bibles from individuals and ministries that cannot afford
to purchase them. No request is too small. We’ve sent a single Bible to a
prisoner in California
as part of our Sparrow Project and we’ve supplied more than 100,000 copies of The Gift New Testament to a Baptist
State Convention. Our goal is to help Christians and their ministries that are
sent by the Lord with tools that support them living out this passage: ”And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How welcome are the feet of those who announce
the gospel of good things!” Romans 10:15 (HCSB)
“You can’t disciple
people who aren’t Christians so we intend to do everything we can to help
people and churches do evangelism.”
