    Beautiful Study Bible

    I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this Bible for months...and I was not disappointed! I have always wanted to see the Holy Land, the places where Jesus physically walked and lived. While I have not been able to do that yet, this Bible allows me to see and study the Holy Land from the comfort of my own home. The visuals draw me in, and I could easily lose hours reading, studying, and just enjoying all that this Bible has to offer.

    I have the hardcover version, and it comes with an attractive dust jacket. The Bible itself is a cream color with a brown spine. The spine has "CSB", "Holy Land Illustrated Bible", "Christian Standard Bible", and "Holman" stamped on it. It has two ribbons, one light brown and the other cream colored. This Bible has a paste down liner and a sewn binding. The font size is 9.5, and it is a black letter text.

    Each book of the Bible starts with a full color picture, followed by a page long introduction. The introduction is broken into three parts: Circumstances of writing, Contribution to the Bible, and Structure. There are over 1,200 images, maps, and illustrations throughout the Bible, and that is my favorite thing about this particular Bible. Not only do you have the scriptures in the readable CSB translation, but you have more images and illustrations than I could possibly begin to share with you in this review. There are also more than 40 digging deeper sections that explain many different artifacts and places, and their significance to the Bible. There are more than 275 articles to help you to understand the culture of the Bible as well. In the back of the Bible, there is a table of weights and measures, a concordance, and eight full color maps.

    This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Bibles (and I have, and have seen and passed on, pretty many Bibles). I love spending time reading study Bibles, especially illustrated study Bibles, and this is by far the most interesting and engaging study Bible that I own at this point. I love learning about the Holy Land, seeing the different artifacts, and the connection to scripture. If you enjoy history, want to see the Holy Land, and love a visual study Bible, then I would highly recommend the CSB Holy Land Illustrated Bible.

    I received a copy of this Bible from Holman, in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

    I really like this bible. It's filled with interesting information and is a joy to explore. The paper is very opaque and the text is easy to read, even when there is a full-color illustration on the other side of the page. I have been very impressed with Holman bibles and this is just reinforces my previous positive experiences. The only negative is that this might not be a good choice for long periods of reading. The layout puts the focus on the images and notes rather than the biblical text itself. It is simply too distracting for me to use it for reading through big chunks of scripture.

    Another Bible? Yes, but not like any that is usually seen. The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a translation that sticks to the meaning of the original language but is also clearly understood. When reading the scripture, the goal of this Bible is for the reader to understand the following three things:

    What was the world like at the time of the Bible passage?

    What is the meaning of the geographic location?

    Would people, at the time of the scripture, understand a significance not easy to understand now?

    In order to do that, this volume has:

    Hundreds of full-color images, maps and illustrations that apply to what is being read.

    More than 275 full-length articles along with 40 "Digging Deeper" articles to increase understanding.

    Each book has a complete introduction that tells the setting, the author and circumstances at the time of writing.

    Additionally, the 9.5 font type is easy on the eyes, there are two built-in ribbon book marks, and despite being a substantial volume, it is not difficult to carry. This hard-packed book is filled with good quality paper, unlike the typically thin Bible pages. Full of colorful pictures, maps and extra items little known before about scripture--make you feel like you have traveled to the Holy Land without leaving your armchair.

    It all comes together to make an exciting way to study scripture in a 5+ star Bible that I highly recommend. I am happy to say tickmenot has one of these great Bibles in my blog giveaway

    LEV3L Digital provided Tickmenot with Bibles for this giveaway and review.

    When I first saw this Bible for sale, I knew it was the Bible to complement my Bible studies. I hope to see Israel someday, but in the meantime, the pictures and maps and information it adds to the books of the Bible make it come alive and more meaningful, especially the information on cultures and traditions from long ago times, to today. I will enjoy this Bible as it will enhance my understanding within my Bible studies from now on.
