Review: Accurate translation, Adequate Navigation

While the HCSB is neither my primary nor my favorite English translation, I do trust its accuracy.  Therefore I use it as a study aid, along with other translations I trust, such as the KJV, NASB, ASV, ESV and NKJV.  For me, the HCSB rates alongside these as far as accuracy, which I consider high praise.  I lean more toward the Tyndale tradition, with the ASV and NASB my favorites.  (Sometimes, when in a 'literary' mood, especially for poetic books, only the KJV will do, for me.)  At any rate, with the HCSB you get a 21st century, very accurate version of God's word rendered in current, idiomatic English.  Way cool that Holman provides it freely, as does Crossway the ESV.  It's a no-brainer!
