This is an obvious, yet sometimes overlooked, fact. They were written down and recorded in different eras in different parts of the world by divinely inspired men. It is no wonder many of us find it difficult to read God&amp;rsquo;s Word.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thankfully, through rigorous work by translators, we have the Bible in our language. It is also true, however, that some English Bibles read better than others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;The HCSB translators placed a high emphasis on readability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The priority of readability can be seen in the HCSB&amp;#39;s up-to-date language. This means that the HCSB will not use a lot of the words that you&amp;#39;ll find in the King James Version. We think the church needs both versions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our hope is that 21st century believers and non-believers will enjoy the HCSB&amp;#39;s up-to-date language. We hope language barriers are removed so that readers might hear from God in the glorious and holy words passed on from Moses to John the Revelator easily.

The idea of making the Scripture readily available for the people in a language they understand and a format they can interact with has long been the desire of the church. In this case, the ability for small groups to easily gather around the TV to read a passage together opens the Bible to a more social experience. B&amp;amp;H has said that they hope youth ministers are open to using it, and have included bookmarks in it so teachers can jump right to the passages they&amp;#39;ve prepared....&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; &lt;b&gt;read&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; the entire post&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.edstetzer.com/2010/01/the-bible-for-xbox-360.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;here&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;(&amp;#39;XBOX 360 and the Bible&amp;#39;).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bible Translations: Verbose or Lean?</title><link>http://hcsb.org/b/authorjournal/archive/2009/12/22/bible-translations-verbose-or-lean.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0d90fb76-2118-4378-9ca3-da2f6e729b36:11642</guid><dc:creator>jcoppenger</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;The word count of the Hebrew and Greek text in the standard critical editions is 545,202.

We can use technology that other people developed to study Scriptures through a new medium. Some people are just more comfortable with a controller in their hands than a book.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;The application will consist of the complete Old and New Testaments as well as three additional tools: a basic search function that operates much like a concordance, a bookmarking function that allows for marking passages and reorganizing those bookmarks into an order appropriate for teaching or study, and a presentation mode that features a larger display suitable for projecting on a screen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;Additionally, &amp;quot;Bible Navigator X&amp;quot; features 10 themes that will allow users to customize the look of the Bible while maintaining the readability. Themes geared toward students, including one based on LifeWay&amp;rsquo;s Fuge Camps, will be available in addition to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;Linne explained that the tools were designed for everyone, but particularly with youth ministers in mind. &amp;quot;Certainly it&amp;rsquo;s convenient to be able to quickly pull up a Bible verse on your television at home,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;but this is also a great tool for youth ministers who teach in youth spaces that already have Xbox consoles in them. It&amp;rsquo;s a quick way to create teaching aids from equipment you already have.&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;For more information about &amp;quot;Bible Navigator X&amp;quot; on Xbox 360, visit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.biblenavigatorx.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;BibleNavigatorX.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;B&amp;amp;H is a division of LifeWay Christian Resources.

By God&amp;#39;s grace, many of us have had similar experiences when someone has shown us how all of the Old Testament (and all of reality) is about Jesus. Sadly, many fail to see this. In fact, there are a large number of people who think that &amp;quot;Christ&amp;quot; was Jesus&amp;#39; last name. This, of course, is not right.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;By using the word &amp;quot;Messiah&amp;quot; in particularly Jewish contexts in the New Testament, the HCSB helps readers see more clearly that Jesus fits into an overarching narrative. Also, &amp;quot;Messiah&amp;quot; is used because the most recent scholarship recognizes the need to translate &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;christos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt; as &amp;quot;Messiah&amp;quot;.

style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Scholars recognize that there is an important difference between a &amp;quot;slave&amp;quot; and&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;servant&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;bond-servant&amp;quot;), one that is often missed by contemporary readers. Murray Harris, for example, in his excellent book, &lt;i&gt;Slave of Christ: A New Testament metaphor for total devotion to Christ&lt;/i&gt;, rightly shows that all slaves were servants, but not all servants were slaves (187). That is, slaves had it worse than servants. There were many servants who had rights, made money, etc., slaves did not enjoy these benefits. This is important when one is thinking through the significance of New Testament writer&amp;#39;s use of the word. As you can see below, the HCSB&amp;#39;s translation of Revelation 1:1 reflects this important insight.
