Ithink we all know that studying the Bible is good, but where do you begin? The challenge to study the Bible can seem pretty daunting, am I right? That’s why I’m super excited to share the CSB Study Bible
with you guys.
I mentioned over here how the original CSB Study Bible (then called the Holman Study Bible) greatly enriched my Bible study time. My husband (then fiance’) admired the Bible so much that I made sure I purchased one for him…and a number of other friends who expressed interest in taking their Bible reading to the next level.
Well now B&H Publishing has re-released the Bible with their slightly updated translation, the CSB, and revamped the inside to have even more pictures, articles, and special features. I’ll give you a tour of the CSB Study Bible so you can see for yourself.

Each book of the Bible has a full-color intro complete with a helpful description that will give you a full overview of the particular book you’re reading.
The CSB Study Bible has helpful maps throughout, all positioned in a relevant spot to what’s described in the Bible.

Our favorite part of this Bible has always been the helpful commentary throughout.
Now I will mention, that although it is helpful, there are times where the explanation is lacking or there isn’t commentary at all for the very difficult passages. But that’s okay to us because this is a Study Bible that only has room for a small amount of text. We get it. That’s why we still have commentaries that we use in addition to the CSB Study Bible.

So I’m not a Greek or Hebrew expert, but it’s kind of cool that you can sound like one with this Bible. Throughout the CSB Study Bible, a Greek or Hebrew word that’s important to the passages is mentioned complete with the pronunciation and description.
And in the back of the CSB Study Bible is a helpful concordance.

I’ve always thought that the CSB Study Bible has all you need for a good study Bible. Now if you’re not in the market for a study Bible, I took a look at the beautiful She Reads Truth Bible over here to see if it’s a good fit for you.

Looks like a good and extensive study bible! I love the She Reads Truth bible too! 🙂
Yes, it definitely is an extensive and beneficial study Bible. And yes, the She Reads the Truth Bible is awesome! Thanks for stopping by, Rachel!
My Life Application Study Bible just fell apart. So I am searching for a new study Bible. I love reading your reviews! They are helpful!
Thanks for your kind words and sharing about your search for a study Bible, Emily. I think you would really love the CSB Study Bible, but then, I’m pretty biased towards it. 😉 Thanks again for dropping by, Emily!
I’ve been thinking about buying this one. The insight was helpful. Thanks!
Yaay! I’m so glad it was helpful to you, Kelly! <3
This looks like an amazing Bible! Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
Sure thing– glad you could drop by. 🙂
Wow! Thank you for sharing, Sarah! I really enjoyed the Holman Study Bible as well, so it’s fun to see their updates. Everything you shared sounds really helpful and I especially like the maps and the inclusion of the Greek or Hebrew study words. Overall, it sounds like a great Study Bible for those looking for something a little deeper but not too overwhelming.
“It sounds like a great Study Bible for those looking for something a little deeper but not too overwhelming.” Yes! That’s a great succinct summary of the Bible, Sonya. Thanks for stopping by with your thoughts. It’s good to hear from someone else who enjoyed the Holman Study Bible as well. 🙂
